Just when I make the declaration that I am going to complete the assignments GOD gave to me last year, I find myself doing any and everything but the assignments. Ugh, Distractions.

Definition:

Distractions - a thing that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else.

For me there are 3 types of distractions; 2 of which I have experienced many times over, but the third is something new.

1. Beautiful Distractions - These are intriguing, enticing, mind altering, beautiful people, places or things, that will pull you completely away from what you should be doing. Your heart, soul, and your emotions can get all entangled by these types of distractions. They potentially can stick around for quite a while and cause major heartbreak.

2. Time-Waster Distractions - These types have one purpose and one purpose only, to waste your time. They don't necessary cause you heartache, they are merely annoying and upsetting. Once you wake up from the distraction, you realize that you have wasted so much time, and you have not much if anything to show for it.

3. Uncomfortable Distractions - These types start out as beautiful, and they definitely waste your time, but unlike 1 and 2, you are aware that it's a distraction and your choice to participate in the distraction. Basically, I chose to take part in this and I'm not even enjoying it, it's no longer enticing, it's definitely wasting my time, and because I am aware I am super uncomfortable because I see what it is doing to me.

Being in or working with an uncomfortable distractions is a horrible place to be but it is also a great place. It is the uncomfortableness that pushes you to make a change, for some of us, well most really, being uncomfortable awakens us and moves us closer to GOD to hear HIS direction, as well as forces us to change our behavior, so we never come back to this feeling.

I can't stay here!
