Back to Blogging

I started this blog back in October.. i'v only posted to it 6 times, and the last time i posted was in November. Thats 6 months ago! I'd like to get back into the swing of blogging again. I would really like for people to know my thoughts and see my heart. So here is what has been going on in my life.

I'm still living in Indiana with Jared and Tina and their new baby Titus(cutest baby alive.) I work at a place called Dream Street Graphics, which is a vinyl graphics/vehicle instillation company. We specialize in putting the "big stickers" on vehicles for companies and individuals. I am also still running Vardagen.. which I will talk more in another blog. I am still dating the most wonderful young woman in the universe, Kasey Anne Miller. I am soo thankful for her! This June, i am planning on going on a vision trip to New Zealand. I will be going as a part of an 8 member team from College Park Church.

Those are just some of the happenings as far as lifey things go. Now for the spiritual side of things. Right now I feel very weak. Some days I do great. I'll be in the word and in prayer, but other days i just fee like I'm not really geeing fed from anywhere. I tried to attend a Thursday night bible study, but things just kept getting in the way, whether it was work or other plans it just didn't work out as great as i had hoped. Although CPC is a great church, with really good teaching, i just don't feel the community there. It's too big to be noticed or recognized. I've gone with Kasey a couple of times to her church, and although the service seems "old school" to me, it is very much grounded in amazing truth. The sunday school following the service is wonderful. I went last Sunday, and that has been the best spiritual anything I've had in a long time. I miss having good fellowship and good community. I miss going to church every Sunday and having consistent solid truth. I miss having deep conversation with my friends about God, Christ, and all parts of Scripture.

I'm convinced that the reason for my "ungrowth" spiritually is due to my own selfishness. This seems to be a constant problem in my life. I am always keeping things inside, bottled up. That is one of the reasons I want to start blogging again, so I can share my heart and thoughts with others to reply to and help me out.

I think I'll wrap this blog up for the night, but as I said previously.. I would like to start blogging much more, and to anyone who reads, i would love to have some input, so feel free to reply!

It is amazing Dusty, that you see a need for growth. But I feel that on top of that, it is even more incredible that you feel that you know the heart of the problem for it's hindrance, your own selfishness. I suggest searching locally to find more solid teaching groups. I think that a very practical way to feel much more committed is to try and develop ongoing relationships with them. Share emails, facebooks, whatever...that way they can stay connected with you and ask you if you will be there. Maybe that would instill more of a sense of obligation to continue going?
