Over a week. This is crazy. I have a lot of writing to catch up on! :( I had a lot of work this week, but there were some days where I could have come on for a little. I just wasn't motivated enough. You know what, though? That is how problems are. You put something off for a day or too, and the more time that goes by, the less motivated you become. Your tiny problem that can be fixed easily soon snowballs into something overwhelming.
This leads back to commitment. The definition of the word is "the state of being bound emotionally or intellectually to a course of action" or a pledge, which means "a solemn binding promise to do something." When you promise to do something small or large, you need to be aware of the compromises you might need to make in order to fulfill that promise. Stay emotionally involved and remember why you're doing it.
As Christians, we have a commitment to God. We might not want to take the time to pray or read our Bibles, but if we really love God, we need to. I struggle with this too. What would happen if Jesus didn't follow through with His commitment on earth? We'd be doomed! He didn't want to die, but He loved us. We owe Him, even if it's only five minutes. I know it can be hard, but you can do anything if you put your mind to it.
Phil. 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
