What in the World???!!!

why has everyone been slacking on their posts. why has the only person who has encouraged me to blog been criticising my lack thereof? why do I find it so hard to do the Love Dare? The answers to these questions are not as nearly important as the answer to the following one. Why in the world is it sooooo hard to be a christian. Why is it so hard to resist the devil? I am in a spiritual rut that has lasted for years and I hoped that it would pass and I am sure that I need to more proactive about it........... any thoughts???
