Bumps in the road, Awesomeness, and Procrastination

So I can't even tell you how cool God is. Nope. Can't do it. Cooler than cool. God is awesome. Amazing. Wonderful. 

I don't know where the doubts come from, specifically. There are multitudes of places where they can just pop up and trip you. But it doesn't matter, they're there - and they trip you, and sometimes you fall, and sometimes you don't want to get up right away. Sometimes you keep walking but you can't stop thinking about that little rock you tripped over. Whatever. None of it is as important as keeping your eyes forward, on God. 

My dad isn't a Christian the way that my mom is. I've never really experienced a guy (my age) whose beliefs were passionate and strong and joyful. But, lately I've been experiencing that in my super dreamy boyfriend. Right now, what I'm cherishing so much about that, is that I can feel kind of blah, and he's gonna be my rock for my connection with the Rock. My human relationship with Tim is almost flawless (perfected in its flaws :) ) and God has just been "pruning our branches" lately, and its kind of awesome. Actually its 100% awesome. Anyway, so, there's a big difference between having girlfriends you can chat about God with, and the love of our life being will to talk about the Love of Life with you. To hear him get excited about Him, to hear him pray to Him and to hear the joy he feels and the difference He makes? Amazing. It's cool to see your friend do it, but it brings you to your knees to see your soul mate do it. 

So I don't know whats up with me right now, but I think its this awesome little sin called procrastination. I don't know where exactly it says that procrastination is a sin, but I'm pretty sure its not God encouraging me to be lazy....and I don't think its debatable that laziness isn't highly recommended by Jesus. So, I was praying after my bible study a few minutes ago and saying, "Lord, whatever this little annoying feeling is, can you take it away?" And since then, I've been hearing this voice, "get out of your house! Go to school. Work on your school work. Learn what I have to teach you about the talents I've given you. Get up, get dressed, and be in my world I gave to you instead of inside your little box of an apartment." So, the really cool thing about that is that God really cares about things like if and when you're doing your homework. And, its not a sign of some huge crazy terrible thing for me to be antsy because I'm refusing to DO anything. Sadly, I'm totally using this blog and probably also the bible study I just did as things to do instead of my homework, but I've obviously lost credibility on that excuse. 

"Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good.
His faithful love endures forever."
