Squirrel!

I've come to appreciate those people in my life who have the uncanny ability to identify my "Squirrel Complex" and speak a few simple, if not bluntly clarifying words in to my life.

Recently, I've been questioning God's call on my life, and wondering if I'm really headed in the right direction. This restlessness is a constant battle in my heart. After all... there are so many things that I want to do, see, and accomplish.

That may seem adventuresome, and maybe there is a part of me that truly possesses a bit of wander-lust. However, if I were to be brutally honest with myself, I'd have to admit the reason I've cast all of my nets at the same time happens to be because I feel like I'm behind. It's the same old comparison game and lie. Those around me are moving forward, and meanwhile, I'm desperately looking at all of my nets, realizing I'm not catching anything.

"Focus."

That was the one word of wisdom I received today. It's about priorities, it's about obedience, and it's about God's calling.

I have no reason to fear being left behind. I am bringing in all my nets, and instead will be casting just one.  No more "Squirrel Complex" for me.
