Introduction

I struggle with keeping Christ involved in my life just like so many people. Basically, I'm going to be using this blog to write and expand on my thoughts. It will also help me figure out how I plan on building, strengthening and renewing my relationship with God. I always hear things such as:

  • Keep Christ in the center of your life
  • Always praise Him
  • Give your life to Him
  • Listen to Him
  • Make sure Christ is a constant in your life
  • Live as godly as possible
  • Stay connected and have a strong relationship with Christ
People will also give you various ways you can achieve these goals. Some of the goals are common sense and some can be grouped together as one. I'm going to be jumping around the Bible, piecing together information to give myself and anyone who reads this a sort of trail or path to working on creating and maintaining a connection with God. 

I had created this blog over the summer but never wrote anything for it until now. Since then I feel more encouraged and I have a greater desire to know Christ. I'm single, financially insecure, busy, and a college student. As a single person I have the ability to better put my faith and trust in Jesus AND go to Him for comfort not another person. Financial issues have always been a soft subject for me. Matters of the heart and money are some of my biggest anxiety triggers. This gives me the chance to really trust in God and work on having faith that he will provide for me. I have a horrible habit of pushing God away when I'm in trouble and that is when I need him most. Being in college allows me to go against the grain of the usual spiritually lacking individual and spread God's love and wisdom. By being busy, I learn to not only balance but PRIORITIZE keeping God in my life.
