Speak to me

Rebecca St. James put it best in this song of hers. I had this revelation today about prayer and myself. Even though I pray every day, I read my Bible every night, and I even listen to good, inspirational Christian music, I realized that a lot of my prayers are shallow. And they don't last long. Not as in I pray for 5 seconds and I'm done. It's more like, I notice myself praying only a few times a day. When really, I should be praying constantly, without ceasing! according to 1 Thessalonians 5:17.

My original goal for the summer was to strengthen my relationship with the Lord. To learn what it means to be walking with Him, to pray without ceasing, to learn from His word, and to not get enough. So far, my mission is a failure. Good thing I've still got 8 weeks, no scratch that, I've got the REST OF MY LIFE to figure that all out. And I can only move forward from this point.

God???
Thanks, Rebecca St. James, for reminding me of my mission.

That's life through the eyes of a banana munchkin...for now.
