pretty. neat.

"When I’m not doing something that comes deeply from me, I get bored. When I get bored I get distracted and when I get distracted, I become depressed. It’s a natural resistance, and it insures your integrity."
— Maria Irene Fornes

Isn't that true though? Particularly of our spiritual lives. If we're not operating out of what God has placed deep within us, ultimately if we're not living a life that ACTUALLY requires us to take active steps of faith, we get bored and distracted and a bit disillusioned about our walk with Jesus. A relationship with Jesus is anything but boring, but only if we are actually relating to Him, and when He says "Get out of the boat now, sister", we get out.

(my delightful bestest pal in the world Jill compared faith to a tree... which was an illustration that just made a lot of sense to me... more on that later)
