Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and I want my relationship with God to grow. I know He loves me but I want to fulfill all His hopes for me and I think learning to fellowship with Him is the way to this.
Thanks wordgazer. I'm Donna by the way.
Well.... where do I start ?
I have been a Christian for almost 9 years. I still remember what it felt like when I first accepted Christ into my life and how on fire I felt. I wanted to take on the world and introduce them to the best friend that they would ever have... Jesus. But now, I have backslidden and don't know how to get back. God has taken a backseat in my life and I always find more impotant things to do, rather than spend time with him. I sin everyday and feel like such a hypocite for it. I want to be someone my children can look up to and can learn from, but I lack discipline and Satan always seems to be one step ahead of me. I have been Married for 3 years and desperately want Hubby to grow with me. I encourage him and know that when he was getting his life on track with God, I was growing too. He encouraged and inspired me to grow and be the best I could. But like me he has let God take a backseat too. I have always dreamt of marrying a spiritual leader and my Hubby would encourage and take the initiative to lead us spiritually. I seem to have taken on that role and it is really getting me down as it is not how I saw my marriage panning out. During our early days of marriage, he was great. He was exactly what I wanted in a spiritual leader. But somewhere, somehow things changed. I want the Hubby back who was on fire for God and lead us. The Hubby who had the same desire to lead our children to know and love our lord. I feel like I am walking thir road alone and it saddens me that I have had to take on the spiritual role. I guess I feel a little lost and a lot drained.
Thanyou for listening. It helps to get it out. Am I expecting too much ?
Blessings, Donna
Hello, I'm Warrioress, and am still fairly new to this forum. I'm participating in bringing people to Christ through writing a daily blog in a popular blogging community, and am enjoying meeting other Christians all over the world via the internet. God is great and I am growing in Christ! This is exciting, to say the least. I look forward to many pleasurable discussions here and making new friends through this forum and the exchanges we have. God bless
Hello, my name is Pat I live in Northeast Texas. I been born again and filled for 30 years. At this point in my life I am seeking more of His presence in my life. I leave the debates for the more energetic. All the arguments to those who wish to prove thier theolgical strength. I've pastored churchs across Texas, started churches, I guess you can say I've seen it all. At this stage in my life all that matters is knowing Him in the power of His resurrection. If this forum is about a deeper life in Chist thats what I seek, less of me and more of Him. God Bless.
