When you talk about Jesus everywhere, in your relationship with the Lord, in your everyday, do you feel like He's calling you to that in your life, that you're doing things consistently? Is that a call for your character?
It has been in the past. I had to choose which areas of my life I was going to be consistent in. I can't be consistent in everything. So choosing which things God was calling me to be consistent with. I think now, because I've narrowed down a lot of what I'm doing, I would call it Probably excellence, because I think before I was putting excellence before consistency and I was driving myself up a wall because I was trying to be excellent at absolutely everything and then also be consistent. But there was way too many things to hold to be excellent at it all and consistent with, with that excellence for it all.
