But before I go on, congrats on the 25 years! That is definitely something to celebrate! And I doubt you were a pitiful kid ;)You had some wisdom and good sense to turn to the lord at such an early age!<br /><br />I agree with you, accepting God's grace is a challenge. Better yet, sometimes it's a difficult thing to understand. You hear the word "grace" all the time, but never really take the time to understand that word. You hit it perfectly when you said that society trains us to believe that we have to earn everything. I tend to humanize God a lot. I'm not saying that I think he's a person haha but sometimes I forget that God's love for us is already there. <br /><br />Great examples you used from your actual experiences! and thank you again, for your explanations. I always ask people questions relating to this subject and they look at me like I'm a moron! haha. I'm reading the Bible for the first time, so I'm just learning things. Even the things in Zach's blog are new to me. Some people say "well you shouldn't call yourself a Christian yet, if you aren't where you need to be" I've just been praying for guidance and I've been struggling lately. It's probably a tiring subject for anyone to hear, but it's the truth :( lol. I guess the first few steps is to forgive, and put pride and shame away. <br /><br />It's cool how you kind of answered a question that's been floating in my mind without me even asking. It's obvious that I'm lost jk lol. I do enjoy your entries and they are always helpful. Your friendship is special to me too :)Jon B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17605142073824250397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4857424508033691127.post-69018277033987067562012-07-03T20:05:48.260-05:002012-07-03T20:05:48.260-05:00Great work!Great work!Tim Gillamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804444352639075749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4857424508033691127.post-87035411409801191572012-07-02T15:05:55.821-05:002012-07-02T15:05:55.821-05:00time is flying by so fast! I can't believe it&...time is flying by so fast! I can't believe it's going to be a year since we've been living in L.A.! 25 is a great amount of time! That's inspiring for me :) <br /><br />This is a really good post! Adam was asking me what he should do to be "better in God's eyes" and I wasn't sure if he meant what he can do physically, or what he can do for himself with his personal journey with Christ. I did explain to him about salvation, which is a common confusion. It took me a few years to really understand that. I'm sure you know that my dad is currently struggling with that understanding as well. Sadly, a lot of potential believers turn away because they feel that being a Christian is too much work, it's really not as difficult and scary as they think. Trust and faith are important.
