Getting Better.

Hey all,

I've recentley taken up rollerblading. My brother and I usually go, but alot of the time I go by myself. I plug myself into my Ipod and hit the road. Don't worry, I make sure the music is quiet enough I can hear the cars! At the beginning, I was absolutely horrible. I'm not the best skater in the world, so rollerblading wasn't much easier. Honestly, if you were driving, I'd say clear the road. I was a mess. But, I stuck with it and slowly got better. I'm still no master, but I can stop and slow down and move without falling all the time. But what would have happened if I'd just thrown in the towel after the first try and said, Nope. I'm done. It's hard, I look like an idiot trying, I don't care? I would have given up on something I know now that I really like.
Your relationship with God is like that too. So is mine. So is his and her's. We're all getting better. At the beginning of my relationship with God, I wasn't really sure if He was there, but I didn't give up on Him. There have been moments when I've questioned if everything's real and if there's a point to life, but I didn't stop believing.
So I challenge you guys to look at your relationship with God the same way you did with something you stuck to even when you thought it was hard. Maybe learning to play the flute or getting to a new level on your Gameboy. You did it right? And I bet you're really happy that you stuck with it.
God's always there, always willing to listen to whatever happens to come out of your mouth. So don't stop. You're always getting better.

Happy Friday!
