I've been tagged by my dear friend Leslie...apparently she's interested in knowing 5 of my weirdest habbits. I really had to think about this one....and I'm still thinking!! I'll have to get back to you later on that one! If anyone has noticed any of my weird habbits then let me know so I can add them to my list!

In other news, I woke up this morning with a very old song in my head. One of the lines goes, 'though the way be dark and rough, if He leads me tis enough'. Easy to sing, but hard to do. There are many life moments when things get rough and the last thing on my mind is to say to God 'if this is your doing then that is enough for me'. How do we get to the point in our Christian walk when that becomes easy to say? When things get rough a lot of people turn to God, but I turn away. But then, when things are going 'smoothe as apples' (as my husband likes to say), I get lazy with God and He becomes like one of the 17 bibles sitting on the book shelf. My prayers become weak and I float through life just pulling God out 'as needed', like a library book perhaps. How do we keep the passion and fire lit all the time, in rough times and in good times. How do we not become too comfortable with God??? It was a very interesting thought at 7:30 this morning that's for sure!

I totally agree with you on this point. I've been in a sense of complacency the last couple of months myself and it's hard to know how to get out of it and to feel that fire and passion again.

I struggle with this as well. I often use God as '911' use in case of emergency only. But I know that I should be using God as '411' use for information frequently. Its real tough, it was easier when I was in Bible college and going to class believe it or not. I get so comfortable and I don't want to change that.
