    I understand some spiritual things. But there is much more I don’t understand. I have always believed in God, but I haven’t always seriously pursued Him. I am tired of being stagnant in my spiritual life. I attend church regularly, pray every day, read scripture most days, but… I feel I am going through the motions and getting nowhere, spiritually speaking. Its time for me to get with it.

    Having been a Christian for 50 years or so, and having come face to face with the depth of my own sinfulness after a major moral failure 30 years ago, with all the ramifications of a long hard season of confession & repentance, involving deep levels of honesty wit God, Myself, My immediate Family, and Church Leaders / Mentors, I think I have a fairly good understanding of my Faith & Spirituality. That said, there are many areras where I still find new and fresh perspectives, and expect that will always be the case, especially as I interact with increasing numbers of people who worship in different expressions of the Church. I am moderatley excited about the possibilities and new discoveries etc – but guardedly so as there are area of my life which I have which have been a real struggle for many years, and which I despair of the breakthrough which I need to finally experience real freedom & maturity.

    I don’t know as much as I think I know, but hopefully I know more than people give me credit. I seem to live in a world where if I don’t agree with everything the other person says then I obviously I don’t understand. This makes conversations with others difficult. I think I am one of those individuals who “walk to a different drummer.” If the drummer I am following is God, then I won’t mind being out of step.

    I think for the most part I understand a lot about spiritual things but also know there are depths I don’t know. Hopefully through getting a “bigger picture” approach will teach me more.

    I think I have a pretty good understanding of spiritual things, albeit I know I still have a lot to learn. I have been a bible student for years and the things that have happened to me in my 53 years on this earth have taught me a lot about God and His guiding hand in my life.
    I am excited about the possibilities of new discoveries about myself and God. I have always wanted to know my purpose. I’ve also wanted to know how people perceive me, what flaws they see in me. I believe God is showing me the direction I should take to fulfil my purpose. The guidance has not been easy, in most cases, they have been hard and scary. At the same time, the revelations have been exciting and opened my eyes as to how good God is. I am looking forward to the journey for I know great things will come out of it.
