So I have thinking quite a bit lately about how I interact with God and what my relationship with God really consists of. My thoughts and putting these thoughts here stem from reading James this morning. James 5:16 reads, "Therefore confess your sins to each other..." My relationship, or lack of relationship has been bothering me and this is an attempt to start the process of rebuilding and pursuing God.
This is what I wrote down this morning:
I am bad at this. This being a great multitude of things, in which I can only ask God's help and forgiveness. I rely too much on ME. I make almost zero effort to ask God for help and rarely do I strive to be closer to Him. Is this really what a Christian is supposed to look like? I know I am never going to be perfect, but I imagine that God is not pleased with my faith or my relationship with Him. My life, my body, my thoughts, my actions are not my own. I am sorry for this distance between us. I need your help.
what inspires you?

About Me
- Alex
- I'm Alex. Some people still call me the Kid, but that is fading. I married Lindsay in July of 2007, which was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. We have a cat (Millie - himilayan), a dog (Zibby - lab/st. bernard mix), and a dog (Kate - golden retriever). We also just had our first child, Isabella Grace Stebing. She's amazing! We one day will end up overseas on the mission field, but we're unsure of the timing and the location. God has a way of working all that stuff out in his own time.
