What Critter Are You Based On How You Work?

Five Minute Friday is so much fun for me. No pressure! Simply a word prompt on twitter (#fmfparty) on Thursday night and then write. No over thinking or editing. There is a linkup on Friday at http://katemotaung.com where we can read other’s five minute free write.

This week’s prompt is: CRAVE

Okay, I have to admit, I WAY over thought this prompt! I almost decided not to write anything as I couldn’t decide which direction to go with it. So, I’m simply sitting down to write and see where the words take me.

We all crave. It’s just in us to do so. We’re created that way.

But how many times do our cravings lead us astray?

[Tweet “When we use other things to fill the void in us instead of the Holy Spirit we get out of whack.”]  

God keeps leading me to scriptures and lessons on intimacy with Him. I do spend time with Him but am I still enough to soak in His presence? Or am I letting outside distractions continue to keep me from the fullness of His presence?

I long to crave closeness with our Heavenly Father more than anything else in this world. I’m learning that all the other distractions in life do just that – distract!

So I’m putting those distractions in their place. I know the path to full joy is being in close to the heart of Jesus. So I’m going to say no to cravings that don’t glorify Him and yes to those that do!
