"Write about your relationship with God, do you have one ?"
I started to talk about lately I have fallen away and was scared that my seed has fallen into the thorns. But, I started to talk about how I use to label myself a Catholic just because I was born into a Catholic family. I thought to myself .. Oh, I'm not a bad person- I try to obey my parents, I go to church and pray everynight.. I'm good for God. Until, I finally opened my eyes to God, I finally realized that my label will get me no where without having a friendship with God and following this a heart that is willing. I over looked how my relationship has grown and fallen from the past 2 almost 3 years that I've been saved. Being a true follower of God is hard, especially in High School with all the temptations that hit us. I mean I can't give myself the allaby that I'm human so it's okay to sin, but I just try to not push my faith to limits and see if it will make it through all the temptations, doubts and trials I face. I've seen my faith drop and I've felt that wonder feeling of your spirtual high, and then I noticed that I've written 2 pages about my relationship with God, and I still wasn't finished.. I ended with saying, I've come so close that my heart was open to God throughout the day.. that's why I always seem to come back to the heart of worship.
I'm here to prove that I just don't label myself, but show what I believe is right through my actions, words & not giving an allaby.
"Break my heart for what breaks yours."
I will not fall into the debts of my sin. I'm a part of the next generation, and I will rise up.
"LEARN from the past, LIVE for today, HOPE for tomorrow."
Sincerely,
Kathleen Michelle Reichenberger
The Question (from your previous post):
ReplyDelete"But, In my mind.. what's the point of striving to get out of the hole ?"The Answer:
"To prove that I just don't label myself, but show what I believe is right through my actions, words & not giving an alibi."I want you to know Kathleen that those who fall into good soil still face trials. Christ calls us to "enter by the narrow gate."This means that experiencing hardship not only around you, but in your heart also, causing you to struggle with your faith, does NOT mean that you are in the thorny soil.
The one who falls in the thorny soil is the one who falls and chooses not to get up.That isn't you, Kathleen. This is you:
"I will not fall into the debts of my sin. I'm a part of the next generation, and I will rise up."
So rise up! We will be here to help you.
