i want more Posted by poolboyjames on July 19, 2010 at 12:58 PM comments (0)the thing about Christian life that i am dealing with lately is the fact that i tend to struggle with needing something to latchonto
like if u just live how u want to live then u can latch onto a lot of different things.. drugs, sex, alcohol, partying (which leads to the previous 3 lol), u can watch any entertainment, listen to any music, there are many things u can plunge urself into and latchonto.. and they're all easy to do but being a Christian and really trying to do what's right, u look around and u say.. hmm.. ok... so this is wrong because of this, and that is wrong because of that, and u go down this long list of things and u come to a place where u ask urself... "ok, so what am i supposed to do then?" perhaps that is the beginning of a true WALK if u will.. because u are literally wondering where to go like ok i had my place in the past, but now that i'm born again.. who am i? what should i do? and where should i go? i feel like i am at this place right now.. like i need things to replace my old life.. not even saying i was so bad or anything but i am just saying i finally RECOGNIZE that i have to find my niche in Christ like for example, u could replace the strip club with church u could replace ur drinking buddies with ur Christian homies and the list could go on but what do u do when u come to a place where u don't know what the replacement is? or if the replacement doesn't seem like 'enough' to u like for example say u went out drinking 5 nights a week in your old life.. u looked forward to it every night after work and that was your happy little ritual but then u become born again and church is now ur happy little ritual, but your church only meets 2 days a week, and u feel like there is less of a comaraderie there so u feel unfulfilled i tend to deal with this lately like i'm trying to live according to the Bible and find good things to latch onto but its like where are they? like for example where are the young Christians? everyone at church is old n ish i don't want to go to a bar or nightclub, so where are the clubs where we have Christian discussions and then go out and help people? u feel what i'm sayin? like i want to really be involved in the Christian life, not just sitting around thinking about how "holy" i am.. i really want to like help people and have good conversations with people, and have a real Christian life in the same way that sinners have a life like i died to SIN, i didn't PHYSICALLY die u know what i'm sayin? like i want to get out and enjoy being a Christian, help people and pray for people, and help old ladies screw in new lightbulbsand ish LOL so i'm just keepin my eyes open for opportunities to really live up to this way of life u kno what i mean? peaCe
