Soul searching

@ 04:14 PM (7 months, 17 days ago)

I'm posting this as sort of a public soul searching event. I'm wanting to get a sense of the calling that God has on y life. I know I won't find the asnwer here, but I feel like I really need to get some things off my chest, talk about what I like and dislike. I love writing my poems, I like having the time set aside to do so. I love beign surrrounded by animals of all sorts except pigs. I'd love to one day plant a garden and be able to truly enjoy where I am. I want to be able to just stop and smell life all around me. I want to marry a good man, a wonderful man, who would complete a family unit. If he's my opposite, that would be fine as long as he is living for Jesus Christ, Baptized in JEsus' Name, Filled with the Holy Ghost. I wnat to enjoy every season God made and called Good, and I want to enjoy and find joy in all seasons of my life. I want to joy in the simple things as well as the grand. I'd like the freedom to persue what interests me, or curiosities. I want whatever I do to have some meaning. I want to impact this world for Christ, and make things better than when I came here. Even if God doesn't wnat things to get better, i.e. His second coming, things will wax worse, before He comes, I still want to do my own part of trying. I don't just want to lay down and forget those who are struggling. I want to be ready, a part of that church without spot or wrinkle. I want to be in the center of God's will, not my own or mankind's, but God's. I want to be able to be used by Him, for His glory, not for bad things in the world, but a force for good.Amen.

  1. Well I hope you find what you are looking for...I don't do the church thing myself, due to some bad experiences with the local; clergy being pompous asses......But I do respect those that do find strength and purpose there....I go for the spiritual but not overly religous idea.....If I feel the need, I talk to him directly...lol...later and good luck soul searching...riff

  2. well, you know...something a local pastor said to me about seeing all the hypocracy in the church and letting that lead us astray: "If THEY are the reason you aren't coming to church, then they are closer to God than you are." Thathas really been something that has stuck with me through the years, through all my church ups and downs. The Bible specifically says to "Forsake NOT the assembling of yourselves together." I would suggest finding another place to assemble with like-minded believers, who preach and teach the Bible, not their own opinions.
