whiteinkI've spend the last 15 minutes or so reading over my journal entries from back in February, March, and April that I have posted here. And as I read over them I realized something - I miss that person. Yes - I had frustrations and problems back then just like I do now - but when I read over those entries I realize exactly how much closer to God I really was. And now - I'm not that close, and it's my own fault.
I used to be able to spend hours a night doing "devos" - I'd focus on a passage from the bible, answer bible study guide questions to it, sometimes I'd get onto my livejournal and journal my thoughts about it, and I'd pray - and not just say, "God bless my day and here are my requests" but I'd PRAY - I'd listen and interact with God and His word and what He was teaching me that night,
And lately - I haven't done that. "Devos" have been reduced to reading a devotional book and saying a quick prayer. And that's not cutting it - I'm not growing.
So it's time to make a change - and I'm not real sure how to go about doing this, but something has to change. I have to get more serious in my communion with God if I expect to grow and change and become more like Christ.
