Reflecting!

Wow im really sucking at this lol

I’ve been doing this thing for 4 years now where on a certain date I just write a message about how my Christian life is going, what I need to work and just random stuff like that. It started 16/09/09 where I wrote a quick message and vowed to look at it again a year later and although I haven’t really been getting the exact date right, I do end up looking at it and just really reflecting on my year.

As I miss the 16th again its just really interesting to look back and just see what you were thinking. I always think that when I was younger my faith has always been better but its like when I read back it’s like I’m always praying and longing to be closer to God and yet I always seem to be so far and so off in the relationship.

Recently I’ve been having issues with people going how’s your devotions going cos I dont believe that you can say how well you’re going through whether you’ve been doing devotions and it occurred to me that the only reason I say that is cos well… putting it bluntly I havent exactly been the best with devotions and what not. Its funny how I can read back a year or two and be having issues with not praying every morning cos I have early mornings and I don’t remember to yet fast forward a year or two, now I struggle with that drive to want to learn and want to seek.

I don’t know where this is going… maybe I’m too proud to ask anyone to help me in person. It’s like when I read back I just think how young I was or how immature and unknowing of the world I was back then which is why I was able to have such a stronger faith. Its only as a get ‘older’ that I really get how you should have a child like faith.

It's been a while

I haven't blogged for ages! The app has even updated like twice since I last did. 

Quick stuff. I'm beginning to appreciate how amazing the world is. Normally at 5:15 in winter the skies already dark and it's really gross but today coming out of the tunnel and seeing blue sky, it's a reminder of how amazing Gods creation is. 

I feel like I'm immune to all those natural wonders and views after seeing so many from a young age. I never understood what my dad meant when he would say look at this view when all I could see was an expanse of trees and some water. It's only now I realise how amazing Gods creation is. Not just at those one off hidden waterfalls that take a day to hike to but also in the closer environment all around.  

Good to be back! Let me leave you with a pic of the sky 5:20 Sydney 12/09/13
It may not appear that amazing but it's appreciating the little things. The natural changes that work so perfectly together. 

Xx Jo (I kinda like looking at the sky ahhaha)
