trying to get back in touch…
It’s been awhile since I’ve been on here, but I just really felt the need to write this down, so that I would have it somewhere to look at and to not forget.
Along with the events of this past month, and the craziness that it’s included has been a desire to really reconnect with God. To be closer to my Lord and Savior and to REALLY remember that, that is who he is. That he’s not some nameless, faceless person far far away, but that he’s close to me and should be something and someone really close to my heart.
I’ve been trying to remind myself that it’s important to take the time to include him in my life. To remember that it takes work and energy to maintain any relationship, and why should I give less to the most important relationship of my life. As a result, I’ve been pushing the goal that every time that I want to do something that isn’t really meaningful, like watch a tv show, read a book, browse the internet, that first, I sit down and I read from the Bible. To really be able to focus all of my energy towards building my relationship first, and then entertaining myself second.
I just wanted to leave with this:
“And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.” Ephesians 3: 17,18
I hope that this year will be a blessed one. Full of promises anew and the devotion to be more like him who strengthens us!!!!
