Five Minute Friday: Stay

I’m joining the Five Minute Friday crew today. Click here to see the rules!

Prompt: Stay

I have to say my natural inclination is to run. Not to physically run (as in to exercise...I wish!) but to figuratively run. I want to run from challenges, friendships, frustrations, etc. In fact, the current season of life is pushing this desire to its maximum. I want to leave this place that I’ve called home all my life. (Even though I’ve lived elsewhere, this has always been my home-base.) I want to run from some of the challenges that are present in my life right now.

Despite the urge to flee from trouble, I know that challenges and obstacles will find me wherever I go. And when it comes down to it, I would rather face those things knowing I’ve done as God led. Right now, He is leading me to stay.

What does discipline look like on me?

Over here I wrote about discipline and how much I admire those who employ it in their lives. I’ve continued to think about discipline and the ways it would be best employed in my own life.  While I’ve come up with many answers to that question, I think the first way I should focus on living a disciplined life is by using my time intentionally.
