living or dying

brennan manning says 'we are either living a little more or dying a little bit'.

i wonder which i am.

i've often wondered about my behavior right now, while i am waiting on God's timing. it is easy to say that when i am involved in full time ministry, i will have more time to pray, to study, to bask in His presence. and i've gone back on that and asked myself, 'why wait?'. so i've taken miniscule steps in the present to draw closer to God.

i want more.

i am waiting on the Lord. for His timing. for Him to say 'go'.

and in the meantime, i will check my bad attitude at the door, i will wake singing His praises and end my night listening for His voice. because i want to live a little more, not die a little bit.

but i need strength from Him to do so...and so i continue to pray that He will provide.

Wait on the Lord: Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait I say, on the Lord. Psalm 27:14
