Along with swimming, sleeping in, and week-long Monopoly games, our summer break also needs quite a few activities that are not quite as fun, but just as important: medical check ups. These past few weeks have been filled with various doctor and dental appointments. Some reports were good - no cavities, hooray! Other check ups led to referrals for additional procedures for some of us - MRI, mammogram, and a labial frenectomy (I had to look that one up!) Definitely not fun, but very necessary. We also had our first Home Study visit with our His House Licensing Specialist. That "check up" was actually pretty fun! Pictures were taken of every nook and cranny of our home - every room inside and out, along with every view and angle. We were also interviewed and had to answer tons of questions about what our childhoods were like, how we met, highlights and low points of our lives, why we want to foster/adopt...just to name a few.
All these check ups got me thinking about what a spiritual "check up" would entail. What would an appointment with "Dr. God" look like? What should it look like? How often should I have that check up? It should happen more often than annually, I would hope! Should I be the one to "make the call" to set up an appointment, or should I wait for a "reminder" call from His "office"? May I not be as reluctant with these check ups as I am with my dental appointments!
