Spiritual Discipline

Last night i had a conversation with one of my favourite people, the one and only Jenny "I'm so awesome" Chang.
We were i suppose just discussing where we both are in life at the moment, specifically how our relationship with God was/is going.
We came to the conclusion i think that both of us were in a place of flux, a fluid place where God was glaringly absent from our daily routine.

So we decided to endeavour to change this.
We needed some discipline, some routine to our relationship with God, we decided that every night we were going to read a chapter of Ecclesiastes write down our reflections and then pray to God specifically to ask him to direct us and also to ask him to ground us, whilst praying for other things also.

It was great for me, it gave me peace of mind and a positive feeling, one of accomplishment. A chapter a night might not seem like much and to be fair it isn't, but it wasn't about quantity for us, it was about dedication to God and doing something pro active concerning our relationship with God.

I also jotted down some thoughts about my plans for Ngaruawahia, re-establishing my drive essentially.
It was very calming to remember why I decided to follow God to Ngaruawahia.
To learn more about my culture, to eventually be able to turn self imposed negative stereotpyes on Maori youth into positives.
To have a life dedicated to God and his call, to have a life buried in prayer and scriptural study.

It was a good night, so for the next six days it will be more internal reflection, and a bit of fine tuning on our parts i think.

God is Good
