One of the podcasts I keep on regular rotation is one from the church I’ve been attending, Fellowship Bible Church in Little Rock (Fellowship). My ex and I used to attend here when we were dating. Many of my friends and coworkers also attend here.
When I downloaded last week’s sermon, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. My number one struggle is slothfulness. I think every bone in my body is composed of lazy marrow. I wonder sometimes if it is genetic because my mom is exactly the same. It’s one if the things I hate about myself and angers me about my mom. My dad is exactly the opposite. It’s one of the things I love and respect about him. I have always wanted some of his initiative to rub off on me . At the age of 70, he can run circles around me. I just always take the path of least resistance in every part of my life. My physical, work and spiritual life all suffer for it. Lately I’ve wondered if I should fill every available minute with activity because I tend to get things done when I’m extremely busy. Not sure that is the answer. But I was overjoyed to listen to a motivating sermon on laziness that hit me right where I am, but did not condemn. I’ll be listening again (and maybe again and again) and praying God will imprint the message on my heart and mind. It will be the kick in the pants I need to get my life in order and make some real changes in areas that have been long neglected. Definitely one of those times when you know the sermon was meant for you and your bruised toes. :-) <3
