This thought came to me tonight at church. The narrow road of the Christian walk is like a narrow country road. It looks simple enough...pretty easy to walk. So we start down the road and soon find it's full of twists and turns, hills and valleys, and maybe a few things jumping out or blocking our way.
So many people think they can walk it alone...but in reality, we need each other... and of course God. He placed people in our lives for a reason. We are to bare one another's burdens. Look at David and Jonathan (1 Samuel 18)...they are a great example of what Godly friendships should be.
One of my goals this year is to honor Christ in my friendships and relationships with family. I believe they represent what our relationship is to Christ....so am I honoring God???

Happy New Year!
I haven't been on in awhile! Sorry about that! I hope you all had a blessed Christmas celebrating Christ Jesus' birth!
So much has happened this past year...good and bad. I was reading today and came across this verse found in Ezekiel 23:35 "Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms." There were a lot of people asking "why" last year....especially during the shootings and election. I believe this verse answers it quite nicely. We reap what we sow...ever heard that one? :) We've kicked God out of our schools and a bunch of other places....so why should we be surprised when He's not there to protect and help us in those areas?
This new year I hope we will all examine our own lives to see where we may have "kicked" God out, then open the door and let Him back in. If we ask Him, He will show us the areas to work on. I don't know about you, but one of my goals is to grow more in Him this New Year! Are you with me? :)

You've probably figured out that I like music by now! So, here's a song to leave you with :)
