A learning process, that's all it is.

So, I went away this weekend with a ministry team called Youth Quest. I have to say, I had some preconceived notions about this team and, as usual with my condescending judgment, I was proved wrong. I say condescending because, honestly, who am I to judge anyone? Needless to say, they're a great group of people with hearts filled with love and a yearning to do more for Christ. I am privileged to have worked with such a group. 

I noticed a few things about myself and my walk with God as I worked with the kiddies this weekend. Through a series of events (not to be confused with the Lemony Snicket kind), I realized I hear what God is telling me to do, but I doubt it for a few minutes and let the moment pass. I then lose my chance to be in complete obedience. Obedience is supposed to be automatic. I should jump at what God has told me to do. Instead, I question if I really heard it from Him, or what other people would think if I did it, and by the time I decide I'm going to obey, the chance it gone. 

I realize I'm not being very specific about the situations but I don't really feel like going into detail. Sawwy. But just know that I'm always growing and learning and God hasn't given up on me yet. For that, I am eternally grateful to Him.

in the beginning...

Well hello. This is my first blog, people. Ever. So..don't judge so harshly yet. I'm currently sitting in Physics class and should be working on my Education homework. Or maybe paying attention. Hense the title of my blog. Avid.Procrastination. It's what I do. Sorry this first post is lame, but I'm sure I will have some pretty profound posts to hit you with in the time to come. Just wait for it.
