It sounds like there are a lot of doers out there :). Thanks for all the encouraging words. As Priscilla said "Let the excitement and the unknown of life begin as long as God is on the journey with me!" Too true. I sure do hope that we can all have adventure following God! Thanks guys, you are awesome (in the words of Jessica).</p>Heather CottenThu, 13 Dec 2007 21:42:15 -0000http://www.bencotten.net/2007/12/12/distractions-of-life/#comment-3617980<p>awww....Your so sweet, Thanks for my "You lift me up award"!! <br> You said a lot of things in here that I have been dealing with as well. It's funny how God always wants to talk when you aren't on your knees. Most of the time he does his talking when you are right in the middle of something, but I guess he does that so we can put off whatever we are doing and say okay Lord you are number one in my life. I really look up to you and Ben! If anything, I never thought that you have had a hard time putting things aside. I mean come on, yall are doing a brave thing, yall stopped everything to pastor a little church in Kernersville. God is definentally going bless you for obeying him! You really speak into my life!!</p>SabrinaThu, 13 Dec 2007 20:59:56 -0000http://www.bencotten.net/2007/12/12/distractions-of-life/#comment-3617979<p>Wow. I needed to read this right now! I'm a "doer" also. If I see it needs doing, I do - no matter how many "do's" are already in the fire. I believe God is speaking to me about the "doing" because a good part of the time, I feel the "doing" is what defines me. And I think God is getting ready to lead me on a new journey at this point in my life. And, I'm scared because "doing" is all I know. "Being" is something new, unknown, and feels awkward. Letting God define me is what my heart truly wants but it's like jumping off the cliff and not knowing if you're going to make it or not. So, let the excitement and the unknown of life begin as long as God is on this journey with me!</p>PriscillaThu, 13 Dec 2007 11:57:39 -0000http://www.bencotten.net/2007/12/12/distractions-of-life/#comment-3617978<p>This is so "Inspiring," Heather. Really. I have to bounce everything off of Judd, because I do not have a filter when it comes to taking on new things. I fill my life with "good" things and sometimes miss out on the "God" things.</p>Sarah @ Real LifeWed, 12 Dec 2007 16:26:08 -0000http://www.bencotten.net/2007/12/12/distractions-of-life/#comment-3617977<p>Heather, you're awesome.</p>Jessica CottenWed, 12 Dec 2007 15:13:39 -0000
