I started this journal because I wanted a way to document my feelings, thoughts and prayers towards God. I believe in Christ Jesus and that there is no way to the Father in Heaven except through relationship with Him. I believe that He died for my sins upon the cross over 2000 years ago.
By being a Christian, it doesn't mean that my life is easy. I have just as many problems as anyone else in this world does.
My Mum has chronic Myloid Lieukemia, My dad has anger management problems, I have a brother with both ADD and BiPolar disease, another brother who shuts himself off from the rest of the family and three foster sisters.
My life can get a little hectic sometimes and this is a place where I can sit and reflect, often after church or after Generation (my cell group), where most of my complicated thinking gets done.
But Christ brings so much peace and love into my life that I can't deny my love for Him, regardless if I get angry or upset sometimes. He is the wind beneathe my wings. Sometimes, the wind doesn't always take us where we want it too, but its there to catch us all of the way.
I'd love to have the support of other Christians and to know that Im not alone in the life I've chosen to lead. Please feel free to create conversation about the topic of religion and/or the Bible or anything else that comes along. :)
If you've joined this journal simply because you're curious and you don't agree with my beliefs, thats fine, but please respect the beliefs that I have and I will respect you.
Pslams 63
1 O God, you are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you,
my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
3 Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
4 I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5 My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6 On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.
7 Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8 My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.
9 They who seek my life will be destroyed;
they will go down to the depths of the earth.
10 They will be given over to the sword
and become food for jackals.
11 But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by God's name will praise him,
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
