Time To Catch Up

Just from my small group today, I have a strong inclination that about half of our team is behind of the Proverbs reading right now.

My suggestion right now would be to get caught up, and not get behind again. Figure out what time each day you will do your reading and let your parents know so that they can help hold you accountable. If you are looking for a "pump me up - make me feel good" Mexico trip this year, then go ahead and do all your readings the last day, but your Mexico feelings are going to disappear just like every other year leaving you to question whether what you experienced even happened at all.

But, if you want the type of faith Jesus had...the type that he taught the disciples to have...the kind that doesn't disappear after a spiritual high...then learning to hear from God daily is so important. And the Numero Uno (check out my Spanish!) way that we hear from God is through his Word.

Maybe in the comment section those of you who are making the time to read every day can offer suggestions as to what is helping you. Others may post why it has been tough so that teammates may offer helpful advice.

I continue to pray for you...may God open your eyes, direct your heart, and order your steps so that you may follow him every day of your life.
