The Trinity
Ok so usually I post what I have recently learned but in this case I am doing something different. I am trying to wrap my mind around the trinity and it is just so freaking confusing to me. I already watched the sermon by driscoll and it helped a bit but I still feel like I am in way over my head on this subject. If anybody has any ideas on passages I can read that may clear this up a bit more I would appreciate it.

2 months
I can't believe it has been two months since I wrote anything. Sorry to anybody who actually takes the time to read this. First I got caught up in projects, then exams, then winter break, and most recently winter weekend. Going into this past weekend I was very unsure about alot of things.
For a few weeks prior to this weekend I felt like my relationship with Christ and my walk was dead as a doornail. I felt so far away from God and whatever it was He had planned for me. I fell back into the content ways I struggled so long to get out of. The very thing I wrote about on this blog months prior became my enemy again. Laziness, contentment, and excuses littered my life and I struggled in my walk because of it. For those thinking I am just looking for sympathy here I assure you that is not the case and there is in fact a happy ending to this story.
A week ago I decided to start preparing for wyldlife weekend. This was extremely difficult when I felt sooo far from God. I became very anxious as to how I was expected to share Christ with kids if I was struggling myself. At times I contemplated whether or not I should continue leading or just hang up the towel. Thankfully God got to me before I did anything to rash. The very thing I was going to talk about with the guys who were already Christians is the thing I was struggling with myself.
A relationship with Christ is not just accepting that Christ came to earth and died for our sins but it is also about pushing deeper into a loving relationship with Him. The bible isn't going to open itself and read it's words aloud to you. YOU have to take the initiative to get in there and read the word and spend time with the Lord. We need to be steadfast in our longing to know God and we need to put an effort into praying continually and spending time with the Lord. God gives us the tools to get to know Him better but if we neglect to use things like the Bible then we are rejecting one of the greatest gifts God has given us on this earth.
2 verses that I have been focuzin on alot lately:
1Thessalonians 5:16-18- Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
1John 1:9- If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
