So I guess the real battle for me to keep this going is to actually find the "time" to really commit to this. I would like to believe I will be faithful and dedicated to the cause, but realistically, my life is so busy that time is something I do not have much of. But isn't this the case for many today?!?! We all sing the same song of our life being so busy, overscheduled, over-committed and burned out! I believe this is the curse of our culture!! BUSYNESS... It is so interesting how this generation and society gives us the impression that community is highly valued and sought after...so, does this not sound as though we are all just sitting around, spending time together, getting real with eachother because we are so comfortable with one another due to the time we put into our friendships?? The reality isn't even close! I feel this "idea" is mainly only a desire to have community because busyness is robbing the ability, that it is rare and in high demand. As a result, we are forgetting what it means to really be in community! We flake out on committments, friendships, accountability, and transparency of ourselves that things feel shallow, superficial, random, and lonely.

Melissa, you need a vacation. Though, you are right. It is hard in modern day society to even care about the most simple things anymore. What once was most important, now seems insignificant in the big picture. What we seem to forget is that our friends and our families are our lives and without them, we really do cease to be the people that we once were, the people that had fun, hung out, did whatever whenever we could. Wouldn't it be nice to taste that feeling again?
