I'm pretty sure my mind is still programmed to be believe that if I am investing time in "secular" things then I am pulling away from God. I've gone 10 days now without reading "church books," instead I've picked up some Dickens and Tolken. As I was spending time processing things today I realized I felt a little disconected. I told God this and his response was "Why? I've been right here."
There are no secular and christian areas of life, God is "over all and in all..."(Eph 4:6) My job is to stay mentally and spiritualy connected to Him always. I have got to retrain my mind to stop flipping a switch on and off when ever it assumes "God is in this, oh but God is not in this, Oh yes, God is in this again." I guess its more than just staying connected to God in all situations, I could hold hands with someone and be connected, but still be 5 feet away. Its about remaining IN Him (John 15:4-7). When I am finally IN Him wherever I go/whatever I do the Holy Spirit will go before me, every action will reflect Jesus' character, and God will increase as I decrease. He is always there...am I going to be in Him?
