CHRISTIAN LIFE EXPERIENCES

I don't think the Christian life is meant to be lived out, just in church or just on Sundays, but the Christian life is just that....LIFE.......things happen, we get upset, sad, mad, happy, but the more I realize that I don't ever have to live my life alone the more my life has meaning, and direction....I wonder if a person can ever get too much of God??!!!

I was thinking about life: a bunch of everyday experiences, that make life fun and interesting....but we need as Christians to think about how we experience GOD in our everyday life too....but that is part of the problem....a lot of people, myself included lack experiences, or maybe lack the willingness to try to experience something new, to "step out in faith"....It's like this...you can tell a child all day long how to tie their shoe, but until they experience tying their shoe for themselves it will never be a reality for them ever!! so...until we experience God, all we can do is live our Christian life vicariously through someone else like telling someone about Mint Chocolate chip ice cream but never giving them any.....I used to think this.... "oh that's great for them, that's exactly what God made them for....but what about me??" sometimes I think it's a lack of faith or trust....not trusting or "experiencing" the plan God has made for you and me, God knows... HE KNOWS what he is doing....and HE who began a good work in us, will carry it out until the day of completion... (I think I need that verse posted somewhere where I can read it every morning for 6 months straight!)


Another Thought-Sidenote-about Christian Life Experiences

I just want to say since going to Stone Creek my life has never been the same...it's like my heartbeat, my walk is different...it's like I really do want to find out what God is all about and what He wants me to do with my life....It's like I'm on this journey, this walk with God...and I never want it to stop!!! I never want things to get old to me, or stop having the child-like wonder, like a little preschooler when you tell them Santa Claus is coming to their own house, and they stay awake all night to see what presents they received from Santa. Lord may serving you never get old, or boring!!! Lord I love You, I choose You, Your mercies are new EVERY morning!!!!
