Focus

That title made me laugh. I am a very motor driven person and focus is sometimes difficult for me to achieve without some type of motor involvement. Therefore, when needing to sit and listen I am usually chewing gum, gummy candy or playing with my pen or some other type of hand fidget. In addition I must need lots of proprioceptive (joint compression) input because I'm always shifting in my chair, maybe it's the motor not the proprioception??

See what I mean... Focus is the topic and I cant' even get the first sentence typed without losing focus.

At a DivorceCare group tonight and reminded about Jesus walking on water (yes again)! In Matthew 14:22 and following the scene goes like this. Jesus walks on the water out to the boat. Peter almost challenges Jesus and says "If it's you Lord tell me to come." Well Jesus says just that, "Come." And Peter focused on Jesus begins to walk towards him. Then Peter loses focuses and the scripture says that as Peter began to sink he cried out "Lord save me!"

Got to thinking tonight and have been thinking about this actually for several months... why do we wait when Jesus says "Come." And then why when we lose focus are we so hesitant to just cry out "Lord save me!"??

Just where my brain is tonight.

So I ask, "What if it changed your life?"
