I have had many challenges in my life. Looking back at these experiences I realize that it is my personality to solve these issues by making a multi-step plan. This is the same plan that I have used for as long as I can remember, for school work, sports and even my spiritual walk with God. This process normally works well and has brought me a decent amount of sucess in the past. However, I am discovering that this may not be the best approach toward getting closer to God. Reaching God is not a step by step process and trying to build steps toward God is not going to get me very far. The process of reading my Bible and praying are good and do bring me closer to God, but these ways are the ones I have been taught since sunday school and may not be the best for me spiritually at this point in my life.
Now that I have discovered that the step process has become stagnant in my life, I am looking toward new solutions and feel that I need to try things that I never have before. Although trying new things may put me out of my comfort zone, maybe that is the perfect place I need to be to find a better understanding of God. Instead of having planned steps to find God, maybe I should look to tear down things in my life that are keeping God at a distance. As I explore new ideas and possibilities I hope to discover more about who I am and how I can best relate to God.
