Un-Monkinisom

(Now if you haven't read Monkinisom yet you should before you read this post)


         If you just read or remember from my Monkinisom post I was fasting from a lot of stuff,  using my gifts God has given me was one of them. At the end of the fast I thought I should be trying really hard to use my gifts because when I didn't God told me I should. When I came back from my fast I started using my gifts more because I thought of how I should be using my gifts all the time because He gave them to me for me to get the best out of them. However, when I did the opposite of when I was on my fast I still felt like my connection strength with God wasn't what it should be.

        Then God spoke to me. He gave me the thought "When you were fasting you weren't using your gifts enough. You should have used some of the extra time you had for that. However, when you went the other way using your gifts a lot it took too much time."

        I learned you need to have balance. You can either do too much, too little, or just right. I can't be an extreme "monk", but I also can't use all my time using my gifts and forget my relationship with Him. Its all about the ballance. God is that balance. If I put Him in the center both sides will eequal out. God will tell me whether I should do more or less if I listen to his voice. there is only one thing I need to do constantly and with all I have. Follow God's Profound direction. God made us to do many other things too.
