  • Prayer Request

    Wow I haven't written in this thing for a while. Anyways I am just here asking you saints to pray for me. My name is Cynthia and latelyI have been really struggling with my faith. Its been hard to read the bible, I mean I have barely touched it accept for when I am with others. I also didn't even want to go to church today and thats just not like me. I used to too look forward to fellowshipping with the body but lately it has become a chore. I took on the responsibility of being the president of a Christian club on my college campus but I am not too sure whether I want to participate anymore. I just feel really dead and down. Like I am not alive anymore. Like I am just drifting. I mean I know God is with me, I know for a fact that he isn't far away from me but I still feel so stagnant. Whoever reads this please just pray for me. Pray that I start enjoying the Lord again, that I find some peace and contentment again. That I find the strength to fellowship. I don't want to end up falling from grace.

    So yeah thats pretty much it. Thank you for reading and praying for me.

  • Shouldn't God be Enjoyable?

    I don't know but it seems like a lot of Christians, counting myself, have this concept that worshipping God should be a serious thing were no fun is involved. I honestly don't think that is biblical, I really think its just tradition and whatnot, also our natural religious concept. I mean why should it be a chore to go to church, read the word, and pray? Shouldn't it be something we enjoy? Something we look forward to doing regularly even, not just once a week or whatever. I mean think about it if you love someone, don't you look forward to spending time with them or talking to them? So if we claim we love the lord shouldn't we be overjoyed to contact him? All I know is that I want to enjoy God more, because I notice that those who don't enjoy him are super religious and are envious of those who are enjoying something.

    I don't know, what do you guys think?

  • Knowing the Lord

    Personally I think its important that we as Christians read the bible at least once. Its surprising that so many, including myself, haven't read the whole bible through at least once but instead of just sitting here blogging about it I am actually doing something about it (myself reading the whole bible that is) by making plans on finishing the new testament by August. I went onto this website, readhisword.com, and made myself a bible reading schedule. I praise the Lord for the brothers who came up with this idea. And so far I have been reading the bible almost everyday, I mean I missed a couple of days on my schedule but I caught back up very easily. But yeah, reading the bible is so important not just for knowledge of scriptures because an unbeliever can gain knowledge of the scriptures. But as Christians we should know this Lord we believe in and I personally believe that the best way to get to know Him is through his word. Alot of you may think that you can just pray and get to know Him because you are talking to Him but you are not always going to get an answer. Plus, how else can you get to know a person but through what they say and again the bible is God's word.

    Do you think that its important for a Christian to read the bible, the whole bible at that? Have you read the whole bible? If not, are you planning to?

  • The Conscience

    Lately, I really have been feeling that there is something between me and the Lord. Like something is blocking my fellowship with Him. I mean I have still been reading, sometimes praying, and meeting with others but it doesn't feel the same. Its like I am just going through the motions and honestly I am starting to get tired of that. I mean it just feels like I am not spiritually progressing and that I am just there...I know that there is alot going on inside of me that I need to deal with before the Lord but I am way too scared. You see I have this thing called pride which makes it hard for me to apologize to others and I am afraid that the Lord is going to want me to make some things right with other people and I my pride doesn't want to humble right now lol. I know that the Lord is only doing this because He loves me but I am so not ready to be subdued yet. I am not ignoring the Lord, I hear Him. I guess I am just not ready to obey. I know that sounds so sad and whoever is reading this is probably questioning whether I really love the Lord or not and I do I just am not ready to let go of my pride for Him just yet. lol Oh Lord Jesus that sounds so bad but I am just being honest here.

    Ok christians how many can testify that there conscience is completely and utterly clear before God?

  • Marriage

    Man so many of my friends are getting married left and right. I mean this summer is like a race to the alter. My homegirl Becka just got married last month, Jessica is getting married in July, and another homegirl is getting married in october. I mean its like wedding after wedding after wedding. But yall know what I admit I am somewhat jealous that my dear friends have found someone to spend the rest of their lives with. I mean they all have these great guys that are christian, well at least two of them do, and love the lord as much as they do. I mean my friends are so blessed because they have partners to pursue Christ with. Which is exactly what I want in a man. Ok I guess my jealousy is a little silly cuz I sort of just want the whole spectacle of it all. I mean getting married is big and in reality I am really not ready for the big things in life at the moment. I am still trying to get my bachelor's degree without taking out any loans. lol. I am still saving for a car, and still trying to take care of my financial debts as well.

    ok my question to you all is at what point in your life do you think is the right time to get married?
