It's complicated because of the waiting...

"No need for reminding, you're still all that matters to me"

The worst seasons in the Lord are when you are waiting for something. Especially if your waiting goes without answers in prayer. Specifically with my complicated relationship status... It's only complicated because I'm waiting this year to find out if it's true. And then what is the timing of it all.

These past few weeks I feel like God is on me so much about finding the balance between being social and spending time with Him. I have gotten so many different opinions about how there is no separation between secular and spiritual and how you are supposed to glorify God in all you do and I understand implications of what fellowship really is. But I don't really get how you can fully glorify God while playing Monopoly or a card game. Granted the conversation could be focused towards God, it often times is not. Or playing basketball, watching a movie etc. It's something I'm learning because if sin is simply defined as something that doesn't bring you closer to God then I feel like I need to re-evaluate what I do with my time. Even if it is considered a radical approach to getting closer to God/not sinning. It's one of those things where if it's not by Him, for Him, or to Him should I really be participating in it, because I'm guessing it's not helping to bring the kingdom to earth.

The whole point is I know that I am being fashioned into the person I'm supposed to be when the waiting is over. I just don't want to take more time to get there than previously scheduled in His agenda.

Just some thoughts.
