Hi everyone... it has been a long time.. I promise from now on I'll be on here reguarly! Finals is coming up and like most college students I can't wait to stay up late studying and stressing and then to celebrate when summer is finally here! A lot has happened with me lately... school, our head coach resigning and my recovery not going as planned! But one thing that I'm continually working on is to not be a lukewarm Christian.. I have been reading several books.. one of them beinf "I kissed dating goodbye" which is an amazing book about love and relationships and how to keep it within Gods standards... recommended to me by one amazing girl, Caitlyn, thanks again!! And another book I'm rereading called "Crazy Love" it is also a must read... and I just read a chapter talking about the lukewarm Christian and it really made me examine my faith....
Here are my thoughts after reading it... Wow... what a challenging chapter to get through.. it made me really examine my relationship with God on the personal level and on the outside where people can see..there was probably 15 different ways in which a person is lukewarm in their faith and I aligned up with too many of them... like 2 Corinthians 13:5 says "examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves".... lukewarm and uncommitted faith is completely useless, God didnt say that if you wanted to follow him you could do it in a lukewarm manner. He said "take up your cross and follow me"
Okay I hope this will help many of you like it helped myself.. hope everyone aces their finals and doesn't stress too much... remember we are all too blessed to be stressed!
