All or Nothing!

Being the kind of person that tends to do things all the way or nothing at all is very frustrating and exhausting at the same time. For anyone who knows me they know I am not a neat person. When it comes to cleaning I tend to lean towards the nothing category, but then come days like today. I finally reach the breaking point and clean non stop all day long until I am completely exhausted. What brings it on I am not quite sure. That is one thing I think I shall always ponder. Another thing I do that way is exercise. I have to work out everyday because if I take a day off it tends to turn into a week off. It is so annoying sometimes because I know that if I did a little all of the time it wouldn't be such a big job in the end.

This even shows up in my walk with Christ. I will read my bible every night for a month and then all of the sudden for no reason I can find I won't pick it up for a few weeks. Or I will be very diligent to pray for a friend and then all of the sudden I seem to forget them. Either I am busy being involved in everything or I am doing nothing at all.

I think those times of doing noting are times that I feel most comfortable with my relationship with Christ. I was thinking last night of my relationship with Christ and how it is so comfortable. Kind of like when you have been dating someone for a long time and the two of you can sit in a room and say nothing to each other but you are comforted simply because they are in the room with you. You don't feel like you have to "make conversation" to fully enjoy being in their presence nor they in yours.

I believe there are times when God calls us away to do nothing just so we can rest. But we also need to be ready for those unexpected times that he calls us to action and be ready to give it our all. So needless to say that this character trait of mine can be annoying to myself and others around me at times, God uses the strangest things to teach us about who He is.
