"Be careful how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is."
- Ephesians 5:15-17 (NIV)
I have not posted in my blog space for a while, but felt that tonight was as good as any to do so. Its Wednesday night, and as usual I spent my night at "The Walk". The Walk is a college and young adult worship gathering at Sevier Heights Baptist Church. I started to attend this service last year thanks to some great friends who help me find and return to my faith in the Lord. Tonight at The Walk, Tim Miller started a new series titled, "I have decided..."
We all have skeletons in our closests. We can all be better, and we should all strive to be better. I personally, I have been struggling with myself to be a better person spiritually. Am I a good person? I think so. Do I think I can be better, I know so. I have decided that I want to start a daily bible devotional and try harder to learn about God. I want to be able to use what I am learning and apply it to my life and share with my friends, coworkers and even complete strangers.
I sit in church every week and listen to the message that is being delivered. More and more often, I can relate directly with the message and can find ways to directly apply the teachings to my life. But week after week, I leave church and I forget what I have learned, or I pray on it for a day or two and then become so busy and stressed, that I know longer make time.
I have decided that I am publicly proclaiming to you my want and need to be more dedicated to my relationship with God and the study of his ways. I appreciate your support and prayers! Hold me accountable! For those who wish to mock, I pray that I have the strength to teach them and help them to understand what I know and believe. I hope that I am wise enough to realize and understand that when I am mocked/made fun of, it is satin, using those people to attack me and my belief and love for God.
