Addiction

I'm addicted to his presence.
Last night was reading a book titled, "Living for God, beyond the spiritual high."
Which is so... right... Sometimes I feel we go to a conference and we are high, and then we come back to our life, and hit a wall, conform to the world, and then in my case, become frustrated with ourselves because we are back to the same person we were.
You see, this all changed for me over the past year. I made a commitment. I realized I needed to give my all in order to continue to live, it was too hard, I was living too many lives and I couldn't keep track.
Then I found this verse.

Romans 12:2 ---
So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

Side note:

This verse really made me pull up my socks, it inspired me, in ways. In other translations it says that after you no long conform to the world you will be transformed BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, THEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE GOD'S WILL, HIS PERFECT AND PLEASING WILL. I love that!

SO, back to what i was reading last night, people have come up to me and said, it's so hard to find time to be with God, to soak in his presence and grow. So, here's what I got. Take time in the morning, as soon as you wake up to come to him, and like he promised, when we come to him he will come to us. Read his word, worship him and spend time hearing his voice, training yourself to obey. Pray and ask God to give you the ability to continue talking to him all the way until lunch. Now the reason I say that, the bible says to pray continuously, but that it is definitely a little tricky, so what about, every time you start something new like a class, a work project, a chore, you pray to God to continue to guide you through the day and just spend time talking to him. Then at lunch, ask him to help you continue to talk to him until Supper, you continue with your day, and then at supper you pray the same, except this time, until you go to bed. Soon enough the day is done, and you've been talking to God all day.
As humans we get distracted, but let that verse be an encouragement to you to continue to strive to always talk to him, wether it be in your head, a whisper, a quick direction, anything.
Like I said I am addicted, and this really helped me out. Now I am always talking to my Lord, and what is better then getting what your addicted to, all the time? If it's healthy, then nothing!
God bless.
Let's do this, let's commit.
