Sylvia's post

Hi everyone I figured its about time I posted something too! actually Kaleb has been asking me to for the past while. I told him the reason that a haven't is because I have to be "inspired" before I write. lol so i guess I got "inspired" hence this post. but no really inspiring things have been happening all around me, Just waking up every morning to the sunrise is a wonderful blessing God is so good!
I have been pondering alot lately about the time I spend with God every day. It seems so often I come to the end of my day and My prayer to Him sounds something of an apology "God I'm sorry for not being a good christian today. I'll try better tomorrow." I feel a twinge of guilt for not spending time in God's word, or thinking about His goodness to me.It reminds me of a song I heard saying "there is more to this life/ more then just trying to make it through the day."
Its amazing how God reveals Himself! the other week i was listening to a worship song ( I still don't remember which song) When I was struck with a "God thought" Being a christian or having a relationship with Christ, does not mean that we squeeze an amount of time in every day and say "God this is your time now, hmmm... meditate... God your good amen!" done for the day!
Having a growing relationship with Christ is to allow his spirit to flow through us every moment of every day! We are not to "stuff Him in" here and there, But instead to wrap our lives around Him. He is to be the core, the center of all we do.
I'm not downplaying spending personal time worshiping, praying and reading His word by any means, I'm just suggesting that there is more then that! For example, if I only spent a small bit of time getting to know my husband on "my terms" everyday, I probably would never get to know him very well. But learning to know who he is, is keeping my eyes and heart open. observing what he does,how he does things, and how he relates to me and others all the time begins to give me a better idea of who he is. It is the same with God, He desires us to see his heart, to learn to know him in every part of our lives! I have so much growing to do in this area, please keep me in your prayers. God is awesome,And I have so much to be thankful for! continue to pray for Kaleb and I as we grow and learn together :)
