It has been too long...

Sadly, I must admit to you, it has been way too long since I have longed for the Lord like I should. There was a time, when I first came to know Jesus that I could not wait to spend more time with Him. I seriously could stay at church all day on Sunday and not get tired. I yearned for more fellowship with believers....I hung on their every word about who Christ is and what He did for me. If I really am honest, I haven't been this hungry for the Lord since....my teen years at Fairfield Baptist Church.

Sad, I know.

I believe, I have steadily held a relationship with the Lord...but, it has been that kind of relationship you have where you were best friends in high school and then as you grow older, you call the person up every now and then to have coffee and chat for a bit. You catch-up during your coffee date...sometimes you decide to hang-out a little more frequently and sometimes life is just too busy at that, so you just decide to call for another coffee date a couple more months down the road to catch-up again.

I, honestly, have recently been blaming my lack of communication with the Lord on my recent church situation. The truth is, of course, it is 100% my fault. It is always hard when the Holy Spirit brings conviction like a train running you over at 90 mph. But what an awe-inspiring, humbling knowledge that He was right here all along just waiting for me to realize the truth so we could be best friends again and pick-up right where we left off...
