Life post-Colorado/KC has been good. I've learned a lot and met some good new friends and spiritual mentors. It's been a growing process and I've failed many times, but His mercy is neverfailing. Isn't that awesome? He loves us in spite of ourselves.
Lately, however, I've noticed the spiritual "high" beginning to wane. I guess that's the ultimate test of one's conversion experience: how one functions and continues to move forward without the constant feelings of the spiritual buzz.
When you strive for purity (in word, thought, and deed), the battle may seem tough, but you must remember: the Lord is on your side and while you may lose a battle or two, the war has already been won by Him :)
So time to get some things in check. I'm off the fairway and into the rough, but I'm not in the sandtrap or lake yet! Keep me in your prayers, o faithful readers. Pray that God will help me choose the right club to get back on the green :)
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Phil 3:14
ReplyDeleteEven when you feel like you have failed Him, keep pressing on. He knows we are not perfect, yet He will always be there to pick us up.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Phil 4:4
