Complacency

Hmmm. Never had more free time in my entire life, but never have I gotten so little done! In the last few days of my trip, I had no internet and was forced to journal by hand. So I was planning on typing it up on here (want to have it all in one place! guess a little of Colleen's OCD rubbed off on me!) but I've been "too busy". What have I had to do? Ride my bike, go to the beach, etc. It has been great, and I did need some real vacation. But it's not the vacation that I'm feeling guilty about - its the complacency. I am so tempted to float along in this feeling of doing pretty good that I allow myself to ignore the things that I claim are number 1 important to me. Reflection (hence the blog) and spending time with God in His word and prayer. I let myself be content with little bouts of stolen time, instead of really prioritizing this extra time I've been given.
But, while feeling guilty - God led me to Romans 3 - ALL have sinned and fallen short. So although I have done badly with my extra time these past two weeks, I know I can count on God's grace to get me back on track. Guilt is a waste of time. Forgiveness is only one prayer away.
BTW - I'm in Michigan. Currently lying on my bed in my new room!
