Intermittent

Hi, I restarted my blog now that I realized I do have a lot of things to say. Some have been inspired by others, some by the mere coincidence of a functioning brain and a situation that has made my neurons work overtime.

I wanted to start this blog with something witty or interesting, some catchy phrase, some really funny story. However, I think blogging should be downright honest and what is on my mind today is something that I assume every Christian confronts in their life as believers. Katy Perry sings it well when she says "'Cause you're hot and you're cold, you're yes and you're no, you're in and you're out you're up and you're down". That kinda describes my relationship with God very well! And unfortunately this is a low phase.

What is wrong? I am doing great, and when I do great, I forget to be grateful. I also forget to be humble and give thanks to those who prayed for me when the going was tough and things looked pretty messed up. But then, when I am really sick or worried sick, I turn and pray like crazy. Hypocrite me!

This year, one of my 12 resolutions was to pray more often and read more into being in a relationship with God. I wanted to read the whole bible, pray for an hour a day, listen to Christian music, the whole works! The first 3 days, I totally missed out on fulfilling my three-hour-a-day Christian marathon. Then our pastor sent the weekly newsletter, very appropriately talking about the famous New Year's Resolutions, and it hit me, like DUUUH! Like when you're doing math and just don't get it and then for a moment your brain turns on and you see the answer right before you. Of course, you HAVE to start small! You have to start by resolving within you to give baby steps and build toward a higher goal. So what is the higher goal? I have no idea anymore. I just wanna start with reading the Bible for a few minutes, take a daily step towards God and his awe-inspiring truth.

So this year I have started off with reading a devotional. Sounds pretty easy, right? Yeah, and then I'll be moving on to ruling the world!!!

What are your New Year's resolutions? Are they baby steps or ambitious plans to rule the world too?
