*Little bit of a different kind of post today, but it's what I'm feeling*
Since 8th grade, I've been working on my relationship with God. My family didn't go to church every Sunday, but we usually tried to go once a month. I'm a firm believer that going to church isn't what makes you a good Christian- it's your actions and your relationship with God.
Over the past year or so, I have been struggling with my relationship with God and putting my trust in Him completely. I've asked numerous questions many times- Why are all my friends in long term relationships, and I can't even find someone who has the tiniest bit of interest in me? Will I ever find someone to love?, etc. It would be great if we could see our futures then come back and play them out, but that kind of technology does not exist, yet. I find myself often praying for these things, but I am trying really hard to be patient and rely on His timing.
I'm a pretty patient person for the most part, but learning to wait for God's timing is something I struggle with. It is hard for me to trust people, even someone who is so much greater than me. I have started exploring my faith in new ways, in attempts to grow my relationship with God and put my trust in Him. I always pray for others before I pray for myself. I also started doing daily devotions each night before I go to sleep, and I try to pray more than once a day when I remember to do it. I started reading this devotional from Amazon on my Kindle, and I can really relate to it so far.
I really love the verse above, and I am trying to live by it. I may start posting a Bible verse each week on the blog, we will see! Feel free to share your faith stories with me, I'd love to read them!
Have a wonderful day!
