I've been really busy this week. I joined a gym again, my efforts to work out at home were NOT working, so I've added going to the gym to my day. Suddenly, I'm am feeling a little overwhelmed. You would think working at home would make it easy to get everything done. Unfortunately, I'm finding the older I get, the more ADD I get, or maybe I'm showing my age and not able to multi-task as well. I find myself getting distracted so easily. And unfortunately I'm not getting distracted by the good things usually. Am I getting distracted by the stack of books by my bed, or the guitar sitting on the other side of the room, or even by putting words down on a page? Not at all. Facebook, Today Show, trawling websites, other junk. AUGH.

I think part of it is my old friend procrastination rearing it's ugly head again. Why oh why do I not seize the day and get things done?

One Pure and Holy Passion

Today we sang "One Pure and Holy Passion" by Mark Altrogge.

Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me one magnificent obsession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after you

To know and follow hard after you
To grow a disciple in your truth
This world is empty, pale and poor
Compared to knowing you my Lord
Lead me on and I will run after you
Lead me on and I will run after you

If you've not heard it, find Christy Nockels singing it...her voice has such power and passion. But the words really say it all. I think my favorite line is "Give me one glorious ambition for my life, to know and follow hard after you." I have all kinds of ambitions. Things I want. I want to be a published author. I want to record a CD. I want to get married someday. I want. I want. I want. And in those I wants I almost always forget the most important want...to be like Christ. Forgive me Lord when I let my other ambitions get in the way of the only important one.
