Where have I been heading???

When do you need to stop reaching out to others and recognize that you need to focus on yourself? 

I have been so focused on praying for my roommate to attend a sports ministry camp called Ultimate Training Camp through the organization Athletes in Action, that I have not focused enough attention on MY walk with Christ. All I have been doing is asking for prayer for her, helping her raise money, praying over and over again for her eyes, heart, and ears to be opened  for what is to come. Although, after reflecting over the past few months I have realized the power of prayer. I have have prayed harder and more often that I have ever done, and God has provided my roommate with the opportunity to attend this camp. 

I have realized I do this [focus on others to a point that I risk my own relationship with Christ] so often, focus excessively on others and not enough on my struggles, issues, and personal walk. I get too caught up in others and wanting to help, and forget my relationship with Jesus. How can I reflect Jesus and share him with others when I am not focused on him and learning more? 

But the big question is how. Now that I have graduated, I no longer have all the support and fellowship I did at school at my disposal. This makes it harder...thus why I am looking forward to UTC (Ultimate Training Camp) and then FCA Camp I plan to work at the end of June. But I can not depend on these fellowship and learning opportunities to carry me throughout the summer. I need to take it upon myself to study and be focused on the Lord. 

So...as you as my witness, I am going to focus on MY walk. Take time for MY growth. So if you know me personally, people don't hesitate to keep me in check and accountable. Please ask me and challenge me to grow because we are all brothers and sisters and pursuing the same goal: to be more like Christ.
