My First Blog

This day Sep. 3 , 2009 is a great memorable day as I learn the important of blogging .....As I go on in this activities the more I appreciate the importance in using this mail add and how to compile your life events , in your life. ...
As we go on in our life,God has a purpose of what we learn in every minutes every seconds in our life. But onething that God wants us in our life is , we must have time for Him .As you become more comfortable with the process, you may find yourself spending a longer time.. with Him....
Start small. Use a resource such as The Upper Room that provides short, daily readings in His Words (Bible ) and guides you to look at small portions of scripture. Don't start off planning to spend 30 or 45 minutes. Keep it manageable. Don't set impossible goals such as reading an entire chapter of the Bible three times a day, every day.
Choose a discipline that you can stick with.
Look for help. If you are unfamiliar with the Bible, put a bookmark in the contents page of the Bible you use so you can turn there to find where each book begins. This will save time and help you avoid frustrated searching for a particular reading. If you need help finding something to read that "speaks" to you, ask people at church for suggestions of what they have found helpful.
Find a spiritual "buddy." Ask a friend, co-worker, or someone at church to become your devotions partner. Then, each day, call or e-mail one another to discuss what you have read and what connections you make between the reading and your concerns.
Remember the value of having a pattern. Finding a regular time and place to read the Bible and the day's meditation in The Upper Room helps most people be more consistent in turning their hearts to God. Regularity can become a rhythm that comforts, and having a familiar time and place may help you to settle into God's presence more easily.
Remember the value of being flexible. Doing exactly the same things in the same way can become stale over time. If events in your day interfere with your usual pattern, find another time to read and reflect, or turn your mind to God by singing a Christian song. Don't let a pattern control you and cause you discomfort. The point is to spend time with God, not to do this in a particular way.
Be creative. Try something new from time to time. Here are some possibilities: Read your meditation outside. Write your prayers in a journal. Take a "prayer walk" with the intent of looking for God, and pray in response to the people and situations that come to mind as you walk. Listen to Christian music and talk to God about what it brings to mind.
The most important thing to remember as we try to grow closer to God is that God is already reaching out to us. God is the one who gives us the desire to grow, and God wants us to grow. We just keep showing up, even when we don't particularly feel holy or loving or eager. And we can trust that if we do so, God will show up.And His love will never change remember He loves you so mush more that we know...
