Seek the Lord with all your heart.

SPRING! Oh how I have missed you.
Although the weather has yet to cooperate, spring is finally here, dead things are becoming new once again. Birds are back, and slowly, the old snow is melting to reveled its grass underneath. 
old things become new creations, just as we can become new in Christ. 
It is time for us to put away our old habits that  keep us from God. What keeps you from him and his will? 
not only should we put off our old bad habits, but also take on new ones!!! I feel, as a Christian teenager, that I am always being told at youth revivals and camps and such, what I shouldn't be doing; don't do drugs, don't drink, don't listen to this music, don't listen to that music.... All very valid points, and don't get me wrong, I am sure that there are teens that need this information, but at my point in my life I want to be to WHAT to do.... I know that there are very simple answers to this; Do devotions, go to church, stay with the right crowd.... once again, all valid points but what am I really supposed to do? This is something I intend to study.. and I don't mean go to books written by people, full of their opinions on how I should live a Godly life, but rather go strait to the source, Gods word. This is a challenge I am taking myself, but I would also like to challenge you to do the same. Run to God, ask him to tell you his plan for you life, read the bible, find who you are meant to be in Christ. Strengthen your walk and relationship with Christ.. 
"And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God" Colossians 1:9-10
