Stop Hitting Snooze!

Well... I managed to FAIL Epically in updating this regularly this summer. :/ sigh. figures. oh well.. I've spent the past week and half home in McIntosh. I'll be heading off to Hattiesburg in a few hours.

But for now, I'll share with you what I wrote in "my brain" AKA my journal the other night. It was really challenging to me, especially as one who is very good friends with my snooze button! I hope it is as encouraging and challenging to you as well!



<1 Timothy 1:19>

"Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked."


-Paul instructs Timothy to cling to his faith and to keep his conscience clear. These are very wise words for young (and old) workers. Both in the ministry, and [ those who are not] as well!

It is so easy to get caught up in the tasks of life and forget the most important things! Thankfully God built us with an alarm system that goes off when something is not right.

Problems arise, however, when we choose to ignore that alarm. Just like hitting "snooze" too many times can lead to falling behind in your day, ignoring our conscience can cause major setbacks in our spiritual life. Ignore it too many times and you are liable to sleep straight through your alarms eventually.. And no alarms means not being awake + alert to what God has for your life. Not to mention, you miss out on so many amazing opportunities! No matter what, your faith will eventually suffer, and even shipwreck!

Moral of the Story? --> Cling to your faith + stop hitting snooze!
