Wow, Have I fallen behind keeping up with this blog. Why? Well, for example, right now I have a two page paper one day overdue that is needing to be written. Poor planning and procrastination caught up with me again. However, this is not what I intended to comment on today. Today, God has asked me a question I am having trouble answering: Is it possible to have contentment and still have ambition? Hmmmmm.... I would say that it is. Maybe that is just wishful thinking or arrogance, but I do believe there is a way to walk that line. Right now I am as happy as I have ever been with the way my family life, career, and even my educational situation as I have ever been. Yet, there is still so much I want to accomplish. I still have ambitions. These two things do not have to remain mutually exclusive. The real test is motivation. Is my ambition tied to the mission God has for my life? If it is then I have nothing to repent of. If not, then I have just made an idol. Anyon
