Random Thoughts
These are some random things I've written down over the six months I've been a Christian.Why do I find it so hard to tell people how much I love God?
Why don't I bring my bible to church? I'm afraid I'll be too busy looking for the verse pastor named, and miss something important he has to say.
I think wearing a cross necklace to church is like wearing a budweiser shirt to the bar. Your presence there it already announcing you like the beer.
I don't like to pray in front of people, or in groups. I know it shouldn't, but it feels personal.
What good is it to put a Jesus Fish on the back of my car?
Other Christians are confusing to me, and for some reason I'm a little scared of them.
This honesty is killing me.
I hate it when my dad tells me how glad he is that I attend the house of the Lord, when he's never once told me how glad he is that I've found God.
I can't stand wondering if my friends will ever find God. There's nothing like hurting for people you love.
I don't like thinking about if I will ever be content with where I am at in life. I feel like whatever point I'll be at, I'll always be wanting something more, feeling like it's just out of my reach, and I think that something is to be with my Father in heaven.
I know that there will always be something there to make me unhappy. I'm not being pessimistic, I'm being realistic, and I'm talking about the lost. According fo Joseph Campell, suffering cannot be denied if life is to be affirmed.

Christianity is a personal relationship ----you talk to God as if he were a friend---just respect his holiness. He died for YOU....if our eyes are on others, there will be disappointments and letdowns, and because of sin, we WILL mess us, we just have a way to confess and move forward (prayer)!!! God longs for us to be close to Him and to talk to him MANY times a day---start praying aloud witha friend or children - both love you and do not look for perfection, but a tender heart. You may also start praying for meals or when out with friends! :)
Parents look for change---they do not often see our change as a sought after salvation....just keep changing so there is no doubt of your repentance!
Our ONLY contentment comes through Christ--man lets us down and so does live---all that must be given to HIm, and each day, we recommit to making Christ our all in all and to be satisfied with his provision and blessings....we all are undeserving!! Because of sin, there are many things we must deal with in life ---but we must choose tyo deal with them through Christ, thus our HOPE -that which the world neither has nor can it offer....just emptiness. STAY IN THE WORD AND PRAY......get to know fully for yourself WHO your God is!! God bless you----as you enjoy this journey!
