sanctification.

my blogging really sucks. but, it’s somewhat of a good thing. i’ve been able to really catch up on my sanctification.

“to become more like Christ, or holy.”

my small group leader, jared, and i had a wonderful chance to meet at a local starbucks, and talk about my life. it was great to tell jared my story. during that talk, we discussed my faith, and my journey with God throughout my life. we talked about his life, and his purpose. he taught me a couple cool ways how to grow even more in my relationship with God, and he showed me how to really dig in to the word.

here’s the thing. when you’re reading your bible, and you feel like you have to just read to read it and read a lot; you’re wrong. even if you read a couple lines a day sometimes, that could be just as good. i realized that if you really focus on what the Lord is saying in just a few lines, then it’s possible to get a lot out of it. it’s crazy.

God’s word amazes me sometimes. scratch that. a lot. we have such an amazing God. as Christians, we need to evangelize to non Christians. we need to shine a light in our school, jobs, etc. we need to act as Jesus did. it’s hard for all of us, but, the more we do it, the easier it may get. as i’ve talked about here, i really want to show God’s love at my school. many of my friends know that i go to church, and i choose to make good choices. i feel like that’s the first step. the next step is to encourage someone to perhaps come to church with me, or even just talk about God with me. it doesn’t have to all happen very fast. in fact, it should take time. i’m willing to do that for my friends. i want them to love and know God more than anything.

thank you God for my life, my blessings, and the person reading this right now. (yes, that’s you)
