The words "luke warm" continue to resonate in my mind. The other day, my mom told me about a sermon she had heard about being luke warm. Since then, those words are stuck in my mind. I have really been doing some thinking on this lately, asking myself the question, "Am I luke warm?" I believe I am; in a couple of areas in my life. First of all, I think I have become luke warm in my walk with the Lord. I want people to see Jesus in me when I make my first impression. I can't say, without a doubt, that this is the first impression I give on a constant basis here lately. That, I am going to change!!!
On another note, I think I have become luke warm in my job. Even though I truly care about all of my students, at the end of many days, here lately, I find I am asking myself, "Okay, what did I REALLY accomplish today, besides getting all of my students seen?" I think I have spent more time making sure I get all of the scheduled times in, instead of meeting the kiddos needs. Between ARDs, paperwork, and "getting the times in," I think I have slacked on the quality of service I am providing. I have got to get back to what is really important....making a difference! Sometimes it is just hard; the juggling act can easily become consuming!
Chama, I believe most of us move in and out of being "Luke Warm," but how wonderful when our eyes are opened to it. I personally believe when you dive back into your relationship with Christ, all of the other stuff will fall into place.
