I was thinking today how I had been in such good time of growth and connection with God during lent and leading up to Easter. I was getting fuel by reading and doing a devotional, and I was paddling by writing out prayers daily. But now that Easter has come and my Lent devotional is over I realize how much like a boat I am. Back then I was fueling my motor and had my paddling arms ready... Now I just feel like I am coasting and riding my momentum until it stops.
I think I get in the cycles often and I am praying that God would help me keep up with my momentum all the time, not just when I get stuck. Especially because it is so much easier to get started back up when you are still pointed in the right direction and have some speed going!
