starting from scratch

I am starting from scratch…..

I have walked away from one of the only conversations in the past month that has brought an actual answer to my quesitons.

To walk on from where i am right now i have to start from scratch in my relationship with God.

Basicly i am taking what i have been told about God and starting from 0. I am going to start on the foundations of the faith that are evident and i believe and from there i am going to rebuild my personal foundation.

I am starting with:

1. God is real
2. The Bible is 100% true and the word of God
3. Jesus died on the cross for my sin and redemption
4. God loves me with unfailing love

and from there i am rebuilding.

I am going to start in the gospels and devour them. I am going to get to know what He says about things and what His opinion is…I am going to get to know Him.

I feel like for a while i have been living on what other people say about God and who they say He is…and i have come to a place where i have to have my own foundation or i will be rocked each time something comes up.

So….i am about to embark on a journey that will be hard, and time consuming. But i am excited because my faith will become mine…once again, i am not questioning CORE values of Christianity…I am going to start from scratch and get to know God for me. and leave what i have been told out of it…my source to know God is going to be the word of God and prayer.

I know that there is something out there that is more real than i know or have been told, and until i am face down and seeking God for who He is and not what He can do i will never see it.

I have no reason to share this other than for you to know where i am and where i am going. Thanks!
