Last year (technically not last year; but its almost the new year) a lot of things went on in my life. Friend drama, too much school, etc. I was letting all these things become an excuse.
"Oh, I can't read my Bible because too much was going on in my life."
"Oops I didn't do my devotion because of all the drama going on in my life."
No more will I use these excuses to skip out on my devotion time.
I need to become a better Follower.
I can't wait anymore...the time Jesus comes back could be any day....I want to be prepared!
I love reading my Bible! I love the fact that there are still prophecies becoming fulfilled, even though the Bible was written over thousands of years ago!
On Christmas Day, I wrote my blog Setting Things Straight. Afterward, I listened to Casting Crowns and danced a little. Then I felt the weirdest feeling.
I wanted to read mt Bible.
I don't think I have ever felt that way before...not once in my new life with God. Let me just tell you right off, that feeling is AMAZING. I didn't want to do anything else- not go on the computer, watch iCarly, ect. I want to read.
I'm currently reading Acts. It is so amazing. It is all about the fact that the church is the people, not the place. In Biblical times, they didn't even have like church buildings! My pastor Mikey, he always says, when your sick who do you go to? The doctor. The doctor will take care of you and not leave you alone until you are better. We, the church, need to be like that. We can't leave someone alone when they are hurting. We can't pop a pill in there mouth and just leave..that would be very wrong because if they had an allergic reaction, and nobody was there to help, she/he would die. We can't leave the patient alone.♥
