New Beginnings

Towards the end of Spring semester earlier this year, I was having coffee with one of my friends Melissa. She is a strong sister in Christ and I am so blessed to have her as a friend that I can turn to in times of need. She challenges me with my relationship with Christ and always pushes me in the right direction; to grow closer to Him. This particular time we were meeting, I told her about my struggle with knowing that I should read my Bible every day and want to strengthen my relationship with Jesus, but not having the willpower to actually do so. Melissa suggested doing a "fight club" in the Fall which is basically us meeting once a week (we're going through "One on One Discipleship") and talking about Jesus.

 

I'm not going to lie, it's not fun. Realizing who Christ truly is, not just the Sunday School version of him, and everything that he has done for me is hard. I didn't expect this to be as challenging as it has turned out to be. I know that the difficulty of this experience is for my benefit, not my harm, but it doesn't make it any easier. I don't know how to put what I'm feeling into words, but I do know that I will be a better person after this experience. I am beyond thankful that God put Melissa in my life and gave us both the opportunity to go through this.

 

 

I know that my last post was rather depressing and I have had many, many thoughts in between then and now. This post seemed the most worth of being published.
