Restless.

My whole life I have had what I can only assume is a form of OCD. Life is going along fine and then one day -BOOM- I must have change. I usually use this as an opportunity to rearrange furniture or paint something (like a room). As long as I can remember I have had this happen about once every three months. And anyone that has lived with me knows that I like to change things up. The reason I feel like it's a little obsessive-compulsive is that it is never something risky. I am never willing to change something in my life that might affect who I am. I stick with the safe things: ie. organizing cupboards, rearranging furniture, getting rid of stuff.

Today I am feeling restless for a change and I realized something; I haven't spent much quality time with the LORD lately. I wonder if that has anything to do with my discontentedness. So, I am going to experiment. I will not rearrange anything, paint anything, or purge anything. I will sit down with my Savior and ask Him to "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts." (Psalm 139:23) Pray for me.
