The Journey

We are all on a journey. However, unlike most journeys, we not trying to go further, we're trying to go higher and deeper. Higher towards God & deeper in our relationship with Him. The more of us that join together on this journey the easier it is.

Walk with Me

In a few weeks time I'm walking a marathon in aid of the Mums and pre-school group I run for our church. I'm one of the most unfit people you'll meet and this marathon will either be a great success or may well be the end of me!!! It's going to be tough but I'm confident of making it for one reason only. That reason is a friend who has agreed to walk it with me. Without him I wouldn't stand a hope. However, with him by my side, encouraging me, helping me, distracting me from the pain I stand a fighting chance.

So it is with the Christian life. Alone we would give up or wander aimlessly from the path. Together, we stand a fighting chance! Here I have found many people on a journey of faith. I've seen people encouraging each other, caring for each other, answering one another's questions and helping each other out along the way. In this group I hope we can journey together. My prayer is that we can encourage each other, inspire each other and give each other a fighting chance. Here is a place to share what we have found helpful on our journeys so far. A place to sure up the stragglers and encourage the front runners. A place to be vulnerable knowing we're not here to judge but to build up and encourage. A place to experiment with new ideas and thoughts knowing we're all on the same team headed in the same direction. A place to be who God wants you to be, to realise your potential through the help of those walking alongside you.

As we journey together we will need the fruit of the spirit as we bear with one another and as we bear together one another's burdens. We will look to God for His leading and follow accordingly. I can't promise to know where this journey will lead us, but I'm excited and know God will use this for His glory. Get on board, get involved and enjoy the ride!!

Comment by mia smith on September 8, 2011 at 3:10pm: My believe is being a Christian mean, it is not a religious. being a Christian mean know the Who really GOD is, which the LORD JESUS, The Creator and Creature, who really we are. we as Human being, the Image of the Creator. it make us very special. each every one Created by the AMIGHTY GOD. Who love us very much give a HIS LIFE for us to lives forever. also we need to know about sin and death. onece we learn to find out about the perfect Salvation Plan of our Heavenly FATHER, we start to open our Spiritual eyes to see Beauty and Wounder of the GOD. HIS LOVE, HIS MERCY, HIS GRACE, HIS COMPASSION, HIS JUDGMENT, HIS FORGIVENESS. every Human being was and is going to see, True beauty and wounder and mistry of the GOD. because HE=JESUS is First and last, beginning and End. <:><. mia

Comment by Martha L Shaw on August 6, 2011 at 10:17am: So, is being a Christian and having a personal relationship with Christ the same thing as being religious? Based on my experience thus far, it hasn't seemed that way and so I share this bit of writing with you:

Comment by william g. hays on May 30, 2011 at 2:44pm: lifes journey: well in this life we travel we see and find many differant excuses for many things from why i didnt do this or that to what should i do next. we as humans need more of GODs dission in our lives. cause when we just do as we please we sure ask for trouble. but when we ask GOD first then our help is there and our answer is sure. so ask GOD first what it is HE wants done. askseek,knock best we have..

Comment by mia smith on March 17, 2011 at 7:48am: When we experince tragedy, we may wounder about GOD`S Goodness.

Is GOD always Good?

Yes, HE is.

HE doesn`t promise that bad things never happend to us,

but HE dose promise to be "our Refuge and Strength" (Psalm46:1),

HE doesn`t promise that we will never walk through heart-wrenching circumstances,

but HE promise that we won`t be alone (Psalm23:4).

this is my Journey toward understanding. <:>< mia

Comment by Edgar Alan Smith on February 27, 2011 at 7:22pm: I just cannot walk away from God, nor turn my back on Him, because I know the life I left behind, and I do not wish for that life any longer. He is my love today, and in that Love I have found a friend, or rather, He found me!
