I "know" these things, but I don't know and feel these things like I ought because of how I'm living. I just feel like I'm distancing myself from God.
It seems like every time I make a step in progress, I take two steps back. I'm ready to change, but I've said that so many times before.
Those who actually walk the walk, how does it feel?
Im in the same boat bro..
I have taken positive step forward and then take so many step back..
Sometimes i get annoyed with myself to the point i want to give it all up..
But since i have felt how good it can be when im trying my hardest, makes hang in their.
My pops always told me, " no one said this walk would be easy fun or popular, and u will have ur ups and downs no matter what, but the key is to try ashad as u can and the Lord will do his part."
if u look at success it is birthed from some sort of routine or practice, so i encourage u to stay in ur Word, Prayer, Fasting and fellowship with others thatare truly walking the same path and the Lord will open those new doors u seek and those feelings u want as long as its according to his will.
And if u wanna change , just change. I think a lot of the times we make things harder than what they are, but we make the decisions to do right and to do wrong, to try hard or not try at all, so i say if u want something just go get it..
Now if i can only follow my own advice..Lol LOL.. I hope that helped..
PS...it would be best just to ignore those people posting in this topic if they have nothing to add to this specifically. If they have a different question ora feeling pertaining to Christianity they should feel free to start their own topic ( its a free forum ). But we should focus are attention to contributing tothe related discussion and not filling it up with arguing back and forth. And from what i have been reading their many intelligent people posting in here (Christian and Non-Christian alike) i think we can do some good..
