Medication

So I've been officially diagnosed as ADHD.  The counselor said I was the "winner" ... as in I had the highest score on a test you generally don't want to have the highest score on.  So with that I went to the Dr. and scored some meds.  Not the kind that put Johnny Cash in jail, but the kind that take 3 weeks to get into your system.  After 4 weeks, i stopped taking them.  Not because I'm against meds, but because they weren't working for me.  My body wasn't responding well.  Felt like I had a blanket over my brain.  weird.  So I'm going to go back to the doctor and try something else.  Maybe he can give me the Johnny Cash special. 

Everything in me wants a pill to fix it all.  A once a day tablet for all your woes. Wouldn't that be nice?  Especially as a Christ-follower. If you know Jesus, chances are your eyes have been opened to the broken, jacked-up world that we live in.  You know that Adam sinned, but Christ fixed it.(Romans 5:18)  That's the short version.  Where was I...ADHD kicking in there...Oh right!  We want a quick fix.  That's how I'm wired.  I want what I want before I want it.  If I don't get it, I quit.  This leads to a very frustrating life.  No one told me this would be a journey.  Countless sermons and it never really hit me that this would be the longest, most difficult thing EVER.   But the people that really love Jesus?  They talk about Him like they know Him.  They can't talk about Him without getting misty or staring off in the distance or rambling on and on about Him.   So...I've come to this conclusion.  

ready?

-Anything worth having is worth working for-

I know...genius right?  The only thing worth having, really is Jesus.  And even then it's only a part right now.  This is the response Christ is prompting me for right now...That I would want Him and need Him enough to lay down my incessant desire for instant gratification and take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me...HEY! I just got that!  (Phil. 3:13)  

.....response?
