First Blog Post..

It's been a long time since i last put my thoughts into actual words. To be quite honest, i dont really like doing it. I figure, though, the more i do it, the more i'll be comfortable with sharing my ideas, thoughts, struggles, emotions, and everything else that flows from me, and makes me, me to others around me. There are constantly things on my mind; whether it's as simple as what am i going to eat, or if im really contemplating characteristics of God, or if im thinking about my girlfriend. I think it might be a good idea to let others read and see what im going through, what im thinking about, and see the things on my mind. That way people know my heart, and they can know what to specifically pray for. Prayer.. its such a powerful thing! Its almost like i can see the affects of it all around me all the time. I am so thankful for the people who do pray for me, my parents, siblings, other family members, close friends, and church members. I wish i could just assure every one who is praying for me that im being faithful and reading scripture daily and that im following Christ, but that would be lying. The truth of the matter is.. i do a poor job of staying in scripture daily. I let my mind wonder off way to much, and i get distracted with the things that the world has to offer, and its wearing me down. Im tired of it. I really need some good, healthy, hearty, solid teaching! I feel like im missing out on all the amazing things that the Bible has to offer. There is so much in that book that i dont think i can tackle it all myself. I try, but then i get stumped, or confused. What i need, is a teacher. Im really ready for someone to over see me, to challenge me, to really get me thinking and to make me work hard to dig into God's Word. Im ready to grow. Im ready to learn. Im ready to work hard.
...Im ready.
