get closer to God

Though I said that I reached this goal, I want it to be clear that I am no where near done. The Christian journey is one that lasts a lifetime. I am excited about what God has in store for me…
Jeremiah 29:11

My life orbits around God, and wish to never lead a lesser life, in fact i wish to increase my faith and actions daily

I want to be able to have a close relationship to God. I want to trust him and love him as he does me. I want to comfortable when it comes to the subject of God.

I want to get closer to God. I love to learn about the differnt topics in the Bible and have been making a list of differnt things that are in the Bible such as all the rivers, the type of plants, animals, kings and such. It is a great way to learn the Bible.

Today in the early afternoon I was baptized. I’ve dedicated my life to the Lord. He’s done so much for me, I tahnk him for always loving, guiding and protecting me; even when I strayed.

I have definitely gotten better at tithing, but I need to be consistent. I need and want to get to the point where I tithe no matter what else is going on…I truly believe that it will actually cause a finance surplus.

Printing a guide to read the Bible in 1 year and, begining to attend Church services more regularly hs been a great help in working towards this goal. The guide to the Bible has given me many things to think about and learn. Attending Church more often has allowed for a tighter bond with my biological family and my speritail family. In a sence it’s made me more accountable.

Yesterday a friend shared with me the theory of a group of followers who belive that the world will end on December 20 2012. Though I know the Bible says, ‘no man knows the day the hour or the minute’,I couldn’t help but to slip into deep thought. If the world were to end at this moment would I be ready. Would I go to Heaven. What about my family and friends, were would they go? Being ready to enter the Kindom of God requires more than simply being a good person; but what does it take to be ready. Are your ready?

I can’t believe how far I’ve come in the past few months. God is truly working some things out in me and through me…I’m excited!

I’ve been a Christian all my life, yet when I think about it, I haven’t really been a Christian if you know what I mean. But lately, I feel a spiritual closeness with God and i’ve felt like this before, but its different this time and I just want to stay that way and get closer to God by reading my Bible and praying as often as I can.
