Study

I'm gonna start for saying sorry this is late but I have had bronchitis last week and I am still recovering.
For me studding goes hand in had with mediation because when I read His Holy word I meditate on it after it and ask God :what are you trying to covey to me in your word. There is always a lesson some more powerful than others. Some are a great realization ,he even reviles something about himself, and comely the slap in the face I call it in how he is correcting me in my way and reminding me that I am not as great as I think I am.

"Many Christians remain in bondage of fears and anxieties simply because they do not avail themselves of the discipline of study."

I feel remember this all to when when I was a camper. Be enveloped in this broken world so easily, going to church, youth group, and putting on my Christian costume, but after continuing in life as normal. Not letting the word really affect me. I as genuinely seeking to worship him, but was never in the word myself.

Last summer I wasn't volunteering for Sonshine, and I later realized God was teaching me something. I started actually being in the word everyday, and studying it. I has created me to be a much happier and more fulfilled person in life and in the Holy spirit. Last October I came to realize the realness of the verse "Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that come out of the mouth of the Lord." I went to Arizona with my family and  forgot my bible at home. I felt malnourished and longed for the word of God.

I'm glad they brought up one of the things I was studying when i was Sonshine staff before. (John 8:32) That the truth will set us free, and we are no longer a slave to sin, and we are sons, and daughters of or God. When I was a camper I was caught up on the "camp high", and "high on Jesus" will set me free.

"I once heard that dogs bark, bees sting, cats meow, cows moo, birds fly, and human beings worship."

I'm not proud to say this  but I still find myself sometimes getting caught up in worshiping "false gods" during my day life money, school, and success. It has become a sin issue that I have been trying to work on for years now, but I feel the need to make people i guess proud of me. I really just realized it does not matter what other think of me, But what God thinks of me. Bazinga

Well thanks for reading and me actually for the first time in a long time pouring out my heart. Something that is hard for me to do, but will hopefully get easier.

One last thing I want to thank you guys for praying for my friend, My friend Scott and I talked to him and got him to come back to Christ, and at least to go back to church. Praise God!!!
