Growing Pains

Many people are more eloquent in the way they communicate their thoughts and feelings about spiritual matters or anything for that matter.  But I want to share my reflections on faith. I want to know how others’ faith is stretching and shaping them.

In the last year and a half, I have found myself having crises of faith.  Not a feeling of wanting to give up or run away but motivation to plant myself firmer in my faith in Christ.  It is painful and why shouldn’t it be?  What Christ suffered was the ultimate price because the fight is so hard. And being a disciple of him is not meant to be going with the flow.  I am glad I have a relationship with Christ.  For a long time, I did not really know who he was but I had a desire to find out.  Yes, I knew all the Bible Stories but knowing them and knowing Him are two different things.

I am still a baby in his Gospel.  My relationship with Him can be so much more.  But I am seeking him out and I know He is waiting with open arms.
