Would you repeat it?

I have not been praying enough, honestly, this comes from a lack of time spent with God. How did that ever happen? I don't really know, these past few weeks I have been though, spending time with God that is. I have come to the same conclusion that I have always come to, that is that I need God and need to be spending time with Him, my Father. So as I try to live out this conclusion, or live up to it, I have been keeping my eyes off the darkness, staying away from the closet, and my attention I have desperately tried to keep out of the silence that is always about me. These three things that I have listed to you are my store houses of evil if you will, the things that I mostly keep between God and I. I have enlightened others as I needed to or as God directed me to, but that was only for the good of others or of myself, not to glorify my ill deeds. I know we all have our messy closets at times, we all slip in to the darkness against our better judgment, and we all heed the silence to often.

My prayers these past few weeks have been for strength and endurance. The race we run is not only long, but at most times very hard. It can be a lot of the things that causes this, the stress's of school, weak physical health, normal friends (non-Christian), work place attitudes (yes, not just yours), short comings on goals, and the big question "What do I want to do with my life?" Well, I don't have any answers that will blow your mind or that will seem like some great epiphany to anyone. Just this, God is bigger than your assignments, stronger than your body, your best friend, has the greatest attitude, never falls short, and knows what you should do with your life. Simply put, seek Him always, just because God doesn't speak to you clearly and shake down the mountains with direction for your life doesn't mean that He doesn't have one. Honor God with all your talents and all your actions, use your resources to grow and glorify His kingdom, and be passionate about the passions he gave you! Nothing crazy.

So, what is to be said about your dark places, your closet, and the silence... well as you seek God whole heartedly, "read your bible and pray every day and you will grow, grow, GROW!" Sound familiar to anyone? Yes, the Sunday school song was literal, you need to read your bible and pray everyday. Time yourself, read one or two chapters of the bible and talk with God for a bit, did it really throw of your time table that much?.... When you do this the light in you will grow! What does light do to the surrounding darkness? It makes it disappear! The closet will get bull-dosed! Lo and behold the silence, yes it will get quieter! Silence can do that apparently.

The one last thing I have to say is, "It's not the lies that you sing, but what the silence will scream." In the end, when you stand there and sing, are your lying than? Or, tell me now, would you dare repeat to the world what the silence screams? I know what my silence screams, and I wont repeat it. (Don't answer my questions here, just in your heart)

This blog was for me, I was praying, and I find it easier to hear what God is saying in my heart when I wear out here on my sleeve. I hope if you read this, it will helped you to.

I'm praying for ya, were all in this together.
