True Woman Blog: Transformed!: Relationship and Discipline
I can remember sitting in tiny, windowless practice rooms for hours on end as a college student, playing the same piece of music over and over again. I knew I would never reach my goal—to make beautiful music—without that rigorous discipline.

Spiritual Growth in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Peter writes about spiritual growth in this verse. He says that when we pay attention and dwell on the words of the prophets we will be filled with light. When we meditate on the scriptures they slowly transform us from a being of darkness to a being of light.

But, in fact, those activities have slowly crowded out that precious private time with Jesus. And that time is the fuel for any valid ministry!
