Build a Habit, Reap a Destiny

One of the pastors that I listen to on podcast once mentioned this, I do not know where he got it from but it makes sense:

Sew a thought, reap an action.
Sew an action, reap a habit.
Sew a habit, reap a destiny.

I have been attempting to sew the action, and there for making a habit, of journaling. Everyday for a personal one and once a week for a blog. Needless to say, my attempt has been poor in the results department seeing as how my last post was two months ago — don’t even get me started on the daily journaling.

I find these things to be helpful though to see what I have been through as the fog of time can change details and omit things that should not be omitted. A standing telling me where I have been, and perhaps, clue me in to where I am going.

In any case, the reason I am attempting to do this is because God has been telling me from multiple people that I ought to be writing and drawing in addition to the leadership roles I have.
Strange though as I myself do not particularly want any of these things. Leadership means that you need to keep yourself more accountable. Writing tends to reveal yourself to others more than I would like since you can only really write well about things you know. Drawing, well, I enjoy that but sometimes I think perfectionism gets in the way and ruins the whole experience. I frequently have to remind myself to just do it and as you do it you will improve.

Sometimes, for sanity, it would seem better to just leave well enough alone. Then again, pursuing the things God tells you to do should be a noble things to pursue should it not? I think somewhere I have heard, or been told, that if God wants you to do something he will equip you to do it and give you a heart for it. I suppose that, sometimes, this takes time. I suppose I shall continue as best I can and see what transpires.
