Where am I Going?

I've always thought of myself as a God-fearing man who lives his life in accordance to the biblical principles that I was introduced to as a young man and continue to subscribe to. When I hear a general consensus that my relationship with God is not what it was, I'm at first in denial, skeptical, somewhat disillusioned, confused, perplexed, then I begin questioning myself and eventually come to realize that some people have a point - I've let my OWN priorities overtake what it is God wants to do in my life. By keeping myself busy, I worked hard to not have to make time for what he may be asking of me and felt that if I pursued my own interests at full throttle, he would eventually get in line with what I want for me. I don't believe there is anything wrong with pursuing dreams, but dreams need an anchor. There needs to be something that that hope is rooting in so that if you meet with disappointment, you have a base to spring from. When my hope, and faith is in God, there is a soft landing for rejection. When my hope and believe resides solely in me, the landing is a lot harder and it takes longer to bounce back. I've been humbled of late and have come to realize how much I've missed spending time, alone, with God!
