Where Am I, How Did I Get Here, and What Am I Doing??

No sermons to prepare, no retreats to plan, no events to organize, no Emmaus team....I have been resting. It is a dangerous place to be. When I rest I begin to drift. It's time to refocus and put my oars back in the water. I don't know which direction to go but I am sure it's not downstream. I pray I find a renewed purpose to motivate me to keep paddling. The cross should be enough for me. Why isn't it? Why do I feel like I need to be doing something? All He asks is for me to be with Him. Abiding in Him. I stumbled across this quote from D. A. Carson tonight and it sure hit home.

"People do not drift toward Holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated." -D. A. Carson
