I'm still struggling with taking orders -- even if it's something I like, like writing, for instance, I hesitate. What if my words aren't good enough? What if I screw something up and displease Him? Doing things I loathe [like handwashing the dishes] is a lot harder.. my first instinct is to dig in my heels and refuse to budge. My second instinct, the one I follow, is to shut up and get it over with. Complaining doesn't get the work done faster, and it certainly doesn't make Him happy. Because of the distance between us, I don't get a lot of sexual gratification, and it used to affect my service to Him. I used to whine and pout, but that got me nowhere.. fast. Things are better now, though. I've grown accustomed to focusing on my service to Him, and not my service to myself. Honestly though, sex doesn't cross my mind unless I'm doing a specific task -- posing for pictures, for one. I'm not thinking about my sexual needs when I'm doing the dishes, or folding the laundry. I'm just thinking about serving Him. ..ugh. I hope that made some sort of sense.
