Echos of a creative Creator

I have decided that the things you love to do and the best things to do are the hardest things to do. Everything that I am passionate about I procrastinate the most with. Everything that I get the most joy from I avoid doing. If I begin something it somehow becomes the hardest thing in the world to finish. Why is this?

I shall propose my theory...

The things that make us happy, things that fill our hearts with joy till they are ready to burst, are the things that we were made for. We were each uniquely created with different talents and personalities to display those talents and each of those unique things are a reflection of the unique and magnificent God who created us. I am in Christ, but I still war against the flesh. My identity has changed and my heart made new, but sin still clings to this frail humanity of mine.

Working, and fighting, and struggling against the flesh is not a natural habit for me. I must learn to do battle against taking the easy road through life. My flesh wars against these things that I long to do, because these are the things that bring the most glory to God and give me the most joy in Him.

So, here's to throwing off encumbrances, running the race, and fighting the good fight; for the glory of he who created me and in whom my heart exalts.

And for me doing this means...

being a better student, in school and of the Word
singing
writing
drawing
seriously learning to play the guitar
turning my writings into songs I can play on my guitar
ministering to people I am around
being a part of the Church, locally and globally
being around children
learning to be a better cook
eating well
disciplining my body to LOVE exercise : /

This means not spending hours lost in random social media and unedifying television. Not that there isn't any value in these things, or that they can't be used well, I just have had more than my share of them in the past years and want to choose to do the BEST things and more valuable things. I want to learn to use various forms of media, but not be dependent on them.

I hope to become less "connected" and more developed in the coming years.

off to cultivate a lifetime of pursuits,

Katina ;)
