Spiritual Bulimia!

I have Bulimia, and it is bad. I am completley serious too, Although I do not purge on food and then regurgetate it I still have bulimia only... a different kind. I have Spiritual Bulimia! I have been reading a book called "Irresistable Revolution" and he mentions "Spiritual Bulimia" in passing, I havn't gotten very far into the book, so I don't even know if he goes further into it. But with his breif explanation I was able to identify myself as a bulimic! I classifiy Spritual Bulimia as: Taking in as much spiritual content as possible like Devo's, t-shirts, music, teachings and bible but taking in TO MUCH and not taking time to digest it. Not thinking about or meditating on the meanings or purpose of each element we are adding into our lives. Then at our next chance at fellowship we regurgitate it all back up to our sundayschool teachers, friends, leaders, parents and anyone who will listen to a spiritual conversation. You don't understand it neccasarily, but you are able to spit out the answer anytime you are asked. I did not realize I was bulimic... but latley even though I have continued to discipline myself in my relationship with God I am realizing that in some cases I do not take time to digest it's meaning. I read God's word, but I quickly move on with my day and rarely look back. It's not about having the answers, it's about learning who God is and what that means to me! Who is God to me?! I know he is my Healer as he has demonstrated to me freely in the past...but why do I know he is my healer? Because I took time to digest what was going on around me as he put back together the broken peices of my life. I need to start paying more attention, take some down time to relax and digest in a day! I want Passion and Intimate Love with Jesus ALWAYS, but I can't have it unless I am comprehending the miraculous and awe-inspiring things that my Christ is teaching me on a daily basis! I'm not going to even ask if you think you've got Bulimia, but if you do...your not allone. I don't take the time either. The Lord Bless you and encase you in His strong and loving arms! Lord, help me to digest the things you teach me. Help me to claim the blessings you give and live passionately in knowledge that you are the ultimate forgiver, thank you for waiting for me to wake up and eat the "Meat" you have presented to me. I love you, Amen!
