discipline
I got up early today to play tennis with a close friend. Let's just say that it was much needed.
But as my alarm went off early, I had the anticipated dreaded thought, "I'm so tired. I want to go back to bed." And God whispered something in my heart.
"Discipline creates intimacy."
It gave me some extra boost to keep going and actually enjoy being up early to be quiet with God before and after tennis.
I've allowed myself to be lax lately... not necessarily in my time with God, although some, but in areas of my life that it is just easier to focus on other things. And in turn it affects my relationships with God, Lacey, and myself.
It's hard to explain, but I know this: that my decision to be disciplined will create a new closeness as I detach myself from my work, it will create a time for me to focus on me in all aspects (physically, emotionally, spiritually), and will develop an awareness that God is always present, available, and willing to transform me if I will be intimate with Him.
