Consumed In Christ

You know what bothers me? Spiritual people... I don't like them. They make a big deal about things they don't even understand. I might be rebuked for such a comment but seriously why do you have to make everything so mystical? God has placed us in a physical world, with emotional yet intuitive minds to conquer a spiritual plane... this much I understand. The Spiritual Realm is all around us, in everything we see and a part of everything we do. But what people don't seem to understand is that everything that is spiritual is represented my something physical. I guess this really isn't at much debate but what I see most common in this era is a people who are so excited about God and the things He is doing that they forget the blessings of the past. They forget wisdom, they forget understanding, they forget knowledge...

I'm trying to hold on so ever tightly to my God and be joyful in His never-ending graces but time seems to push harder than joy.  My purpose in writing this was not to be sullen but rather to lift my spirit... I have found an answer. A few months ago I attended a college retreat with my church and...

What is kept in secret is bound to destroy. What is exposed is fated to bring about only freedom. So I begin this blog, these series of letters and notes to myself and God, to bring about a transparency that I have not yet accomplished. These words reveal my heart, they reveal my passions and my greatest strengths, but they also shed light on what I'd rather keep in the dark. I am weak, feeble, undeserving of this Grace that has beset me. And yet, I remain. Even in this dishevel that has become my life I have found favor in my God's eyes. My desire is to please Him and only Him. So may these following posts be testimony to how I desire to live and whether or not my decisions follow that desire. God Bless...
