Breaking Down Walls : 11/21/12

1 Corinthians 10:13
13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

At first, I knew God was our creator, my friend, and someone to look up to, but He is so much more than that.  God not only made us in His image so we could worship Him, but He made us because everyone has a purpose on this earth.  Many people think Christianity is just a religion, but it's so much more than that. It is the relationship with our Savior that is even deeper than religion.  Some of the barriers I've been hitting through this project are distractions   Over the past week, we, as in my family and I, have been setting up Christmas decorations for when some of our family comes up for Thanksgiving, and I haven't seemed to find much time to focus on this project, and to basically fix my relationship with God.  I've also been on the computer way to much, spending most of my time on Facebook, and listening to One Direction's new album that recently came out last week.  During my Sunday school at church this past Sunday, we discovered some bad habits we have, related to our Spiritual lives.  I thought it was really cool that this was brought up, considering I'm trying to 'fix' my faith in Him.  Anyways, at the end of our conversation, we all made an agreement that we would read at least two verses in the Bible every night for the next two months, so that it becomes a habit.  Since I am wanting to read the Bible more, I think this will really help with my relationship with God.

  1. This is neat that you are going to read two bible verses every night. I tried reading the bible before but it was really hard to comprehend but seeing that you're going to do this is really neat and might make me do it. I am also doing God in this project and it seems that you're trying to strengthen your faith just like I am. This is going to be a struggle but I think it is worth it.

  2. I am very impressed that you are going to read the Bible more often then you have. Like Brooklyn said, it will be a struggle to not only stick with that but to comprehend. I think that it is awesome though how you want to strengthen your faith and I think this project is perfect just for that! Good luck and I hope you grow closer to your faith and God!! (:
