WANT IT!

Alot of things have been going through my head lately...I have several things to blog about but I just haven't had time to type them out yet. One of the main things I have been thinking about is life and death.

A student here at UTM died about a week and a half ago.
unexpectedly.
Her name was Sadie Cook.

I didn't know her, but I did have a class with her.
This got me thinking alot just about life in general and why we are here on earth.

We are here to praise God.
plain and simple.
now my questions are:
#1. Do you know God?
#2. Have you accomplished your goal?
So our goal of praising God is never finished. Its a life process but if you died right now, what would God say to you?

The line "if you aren't daily in God's word, there's a LOVE issue" has been on my mind lately. so true. All the people that you love, you talk to on a daily basis, right? We have to WANT God. It begins with that want. There isn't anything anyone else can do. It's between you and God. If you don't want to grow, don't expect others to try to push you along.

It begins with you.
If you want your relationship with God to flourish and develope YOU need to do something about it. Whether its telling a friend to keep you accountable, talking with your pastor or someone you trust, buying a devotional book to help you begin, or just jumping into the Bible. I highly recommend telling someone so they can keep you accountable. It will make a huge difference.

WANT it because this IS why you are on earth. to serve God.
