" If I can't impact the world, I don't want to live in it." -Francis Chan
"We're always praying God change things rather than God change me."

It's a typical (and somewhat depressing) summer occurrence for me. What happens is not depressing, but the fact that I see a cyclical pattern in my life. What is this summertime event? I find that during the summer I draw closer to God. I spend a "little" more time in God's Word, listen to more sermons, read more "spiritual" reading, and in the summer, I find that my reserve tank is refilled. I feel refreshed, and find that within the chasm that has grown in the past nine to ten months betweeen me and God, I am now closer. The distance is not so far.
This is depressing to me because I want this closeness, this peace, this passion all of the time. I think it is good to have a season of refreshment, but I want to further along in my faith.
