If he’s not calling you, it’s because you are not on his mind. If he creates expectations for you, and then doesn’t follow through on little things, he will do same for big things.

These were all simple acts of obedience I missed. But not missed because I was unaware. They were missed because I was busy–caught in the rush of endless demands. And the rush makes us rebellious.
