ever feel like you're putting things off until some distant tomorrow that will never come? so, i'm watching dr. phil (oh, pish-posh . . . you love him, too) and he said, "things aren't going to change until you decide that you can't live with your [bad habit, deceit, lifestyle, whatever] another minute of another hour of another day." so, it's more than, "man, i should work on that." i need a clean break from some of the things i hold onto so tightly.
sometimes i go through huge experiences of self-revelation and self-exploration . . . and leave it there. steve osmond (who, yes, continues to make sense to me) once preached on moses and the (not)burning bush saying, "moses didn't just think, 'huh, interesting. better journal that!' he was COMPELLED to go and check it out!"
all that to say this: when i realize something about myself or the world or God - be it big or small - there is more that can and should be done with that knowledge than simply journalling or blogging it. i must always be willing to CHANGE how i'm living, based on what i learn.
