I need help...
For me being a christian for as long as I have been, you would think it would be realtively simple to work through tough spots concerning my own spirituallity... One would think...
I would be able to let you know where to go to find the answers you would be looking for, however, I am a spiritual mess...
How do I know this...?
Though there have been some tradegies in my life over the past few months I just can't find my JOY... Everything in my life seems to be wrong... The only thing that seems to be right is my wife and my son...
Amy, I love dearly... Benjamin the same... But, I seem to take Amy for granted on a daily basis and find fault in a lot of things she does... I get angry and frustrated over little things...
I am not even sure what to do...
If someone where to tell me all of these things, this is what I would tell them:
It seems to be that there is a void in your life right now... A void that cannot be filled by work, money, things, addictions, family or anything you choose...
The only thing you can do to help that longing is to fill it with the bread of life... The thirst you have can only be quenched by the living water...
This may all be well and true... But, where do I start... I could pick up the Bible and read it, sure... But, where should I read...
Good question... I am not sure where to tell you... I guess a good start would be in the book of Phillipians or the book of James... Those seem to be favorites of mine and when I have gone through tough times, those seem to help...

I am here... and will pray before I respond with my comments.
This is what you've GOT to do... drop everything, grab your wife and drive for twenty-two hours (heading west). Stop at Buffalo. Come hike, fish, sit, and bask in the solitude of the hills. They are healing me, and I think they would heal you two too. Our home is your home... for as long as you'd like.
It is something I really would love to do sometime...
Sometime? Is there any time like the present? Plus, we are not going to be here much longer.
The only problem with that is I don't have much time left off for work... With a couple of deaths in the family and various long weekends and some hunting/fishing trips already planned... I am spent...
Long? How long... Where will you go next...? Back to Michigan? Colorado?
Unless God designs otherwise, Michigan is not in our immediate future. We just left there and spent way too much time there, more than we were supposed to.
As far as where... it is where the Lord leads. We were only commanded to go. It might not even be a state, it might be a country.

Check out my blog sometime if you have a chance.
Reading your Bible by yourself, at least for me and sounds like for you, is often dry and not as satisfying as it ought to be. You need good teachers to get your spirit recharged. Lately I've been getting really high on two studies worth every penny.
1) http://www.lifeway.com/bg/
"Believing God" led by Beth Moore--especially her "lecture" is awesome
2) http://www.lancelearning.com/content/MiniShop.phtml?cat=22
I bought the whole DVD set--$100 I almost choked, but it's worth every penny!! Dr. Lance Wallnau teaches on how to realize your destiny and fulfill your dreams--very deep stuff. I've listened to some of it more than once just to absorb it.
I hope these links work. If not back the address down to the home part and do a search at the lifeway site for "online Bible studies" and on the lancelearning site for "life changing products."
The Lord promises those who seek Him will find Him--so just keep on pestering him.
Hello, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!
