A Different Adventure

It's been over a year since I've written a blog post here. Many adventures have taken place, but absolutely no documentation has been made (...at least on this blog). Oh my, this is the story of my life; I repeatedly start new journals and blogs, but don't keep up with them. Sigh. Will I ever learn?

The main reason for writing this post is not to tell about a grand vacation pending, but rather to propose that I start blogging about a different kind of adventure. An adventure about everyday life as a Christian and what that walk entails.

I'll start off with saying that my walk hasn't been easy as of late. I have found myself discouraged, lacking in faith and hopeless of God's providence. Why? I really do not know. He has never failed me before. There is really no reason for me to feel distant from Him because I know He never leaves my side. Therefore, a self-check must be in need. And sure enough it is. I, the human, who am so often wrapped up in the things of the world, forget to pursue the only substantial thing that truly satisfies my soul. It is I, Rachel Grace, who hasn't been investing, seeking, and challenging my faith.

...Oh, how many times will I place God on the back burner? How many times will I forget to actively pursue Him? The answers to these questions only God really knows; however, I can say that no matter how many times I fail or I wander off, God won't let me go too far and I am so very thankful for that. And to top it all off, even in the seasons where I am the most desperate and least deserving, God will still be there with me, and he will be actively using the season for His glory and for my better good.

"Having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us." - Romans 5:1-5

God really rocks. enough said :)

Well, that's it for today. Thanks for reading!

Your adventurous writer/blogger,
