If hungry, Eat.

God gives us a spiritual hunger for him that we feed through time spent in prayer, worship and reading the word. Its a void that some may attempt to fill with things of the world, and relationships. Many blame their own churches saying "I'm just not getting fed there" So your saying The church isn't worshiping for you, they are not reading the bible and spending time in prayer for YOU? If your hungry... EAT.
When I was in high School, I was apart of a youth group made up of tons of great friends. Unfortunately I would goof off while the speaker was speaking and during worship. Then I started to feel a lack-of God in my life, and silently began to blame the leaders for my hunger. I now realize that church is for fellowship, but also a safe place for Worship, and prayer without judgement. I know now that to feed your hunger its up to me to take responsibility to do what it takes to strengthen my relationship in Christ. Pray always, worship often, read the Word of God and Live your life with a pure mind and heart, and a God-like Love. 
Thank God for the leaders in your church! Don't blame them for your shortfalls.

I Need an outlet

With my Sweetheart five hours away and no way to be there permanently at the moment I'm lonely and often have trouble with anger and impatience. I look to God for a little bit and then something tells me that I'm not worthy to come to God with my problems, and he doesn't care. Although I know I am indeed unworthy of God, I know he cares and Loves me deeply, but for some reason or another I often listen to this destructive voice. And continue my life disregarding God, and being impatient with him and anyone else. I've been having trouble with WANTING. I WANT to be there with my sweetheart, I Want to goto College, I Want friends. But with Want comes impatience and anger.
I feel God all the time, and I feel the desire for him growing in my heat and soul everyday. And sometimes I fuel that hunger but other times I allow my spirit to starve only making things harder for myself. Why do I do that? I know I need an outlet, so I try different things like listening to music, or driving around, or spending time with others. But things end in fights, my car gets problems, the radio broke. God want me to listen. So here I am.
I'm listening God.
What would you have me do?
Sometimes he tells me to keep singing.
Other times he tells me to sty with him longer.
And I get impatient because hes not making things happen for me.
But why? Isn't it enough that the most high God want to spend time with me?
That This creator and Ruler of the Universe holds me in his hands, no matter my sin, no matter my problems, or my faults, he Loves me! He Cares for Me! Isn't that MORE than enough?
I need prayer. I need fellowship. I need to tell my story. I need to be heard. I need to sing again.
Praise the God of Second chances!
