busy body.

I really swore to myself that this time around I was going to be more diligent in keeping up with my posts. Not necessarily posting everyday, but weekly, maybe a few times a week if I was on top of my game. 

Then life catches up with you and --- BAM! It has been almost 2 weeks since I was last on here. Fail. It's so crazy to think how the small things cause such big distractions. Looking at life in general it is always the same excuse in every arena - I'm too busy to do a quiet time, too busy to go workout, too busy to leave work on time, etc. etc. I have let my "busyness" take over the things that I truly love doing. I love blogging and man, I would kill to leave work on time one day. 

So why do we do it? Why is it that every good intention seems to fail and every act that is supposed to lead to more successes ends in a big womp, womp, womp ... 

We are HUMAN. 

The remainder of this year is going to be full of challenges for me, literally and figuratively. I am taking part in the the #100HappyDays Challenge, which you can read about in my previous post. And I have decided to take on the I Am Second 22 Day Challenge. The general gist is that you receive a video, one per day for 22 days, that you must watch, then share and complete the challenge that comes along with it. On day 4, my the challenge that was sent over along with my video was, "Confess to God what you still hold back. Then give, donate or volunteer some of it to others." 

What I hold back ... is my time. I am selfish with it. For real. I do, what I want to do, when I want to do it. If I were to wake up everyday and start fresh with a quiet time, just me and God, can you imagine what my day might be like? The list could go on for days! So here I am not only confessing to God what I hold back but confessing to each (and all one of you) that read this thing. I am going to give my time. Volunteer my time. Donate my time. That is my challenge. That is where I am going to start.
