I am not so good at this thing.....

So it seems that I am not so good at this blog thing. I don't know why. I love to write, talk, debate, think.... So this should come naturally. But it doesn't. It reminds me of other things in my Christian life. Oh, by the way, I have not abandoned the Orthodoxy thoughts, but I am attempting to refine them before I go further.

So, back to my other train of thought. It seems blogging does not come natural to me. Just like another part of my Christian life. Prayer.

You see, I do pretty well at giving. I do okay at study. I like to think I am compassionate. I share whenever I can. But I struggle with prayer.

I don't know why. Maybe because it forces me to face my sin and I sin (even the same sins) more than I would like. Maybe because I let myself get too busy. Maybe because I am more task than person oriented.

But God as part of his salvation has given me the ability to pray, to bring him my praises and my worries. I believe he has called me to share my thoughts with others. I must commit myself to following through in these pursuits. Being not good at doing it regularly, or being too busy, these are not valid, they are not reasons.
