This is My Life

Hi everyone!

Though I might not be able to see whoever reads this, know that I fully respect and love that you have taken the time to read this, an anonymous voice from somewhere across the internet.

My updates might have been sporadic for much longer than I have ever intended, it has not come without price. That price has seen an increase in importance for me to journal my way through this year's valley experiences rather than plastering them all over here.

Don't you worry, what I am hoping for, is a real sense of purpose to come through out of the aftermath of what I've written since starting my Faith Experience journals...

The Faith Experience

That is what I now call my life; the Faith Experience.

1. Because being a Christian is who I am by and large; and
2. Life is not meant to be lived, it is meant to be experienced!

I have taken myself out to my local library, just to prevent me from creating anymore atmospheres that are counter cultural to my direction. The life lessons I have had to learn this year have taken their toll on me, left their marks, but not before teaching me some valuable life-lessons that I am glad to now know.

I have drifted away from posting content on here that are the fundamental explorations of my faith life and what that has meant for me. As I have said, that is because I have seen the growing importance of not blogging everything that happens.

Not everything needs to be said.

Say Nothing to Say Something

Some of it, as I have successfully now proven to myself, is best kept in my private journals for me to fashion and formulate the best way for me to "work out" my salvation (Philippians 2:12).

The following is an excerpt taken from an article I have found on Gotquestions.org: -

The sense in which we are to work out our salvation in fear and trembling is twofold. First, the Greek verb rendered “work out” means "to continually work to bring something to completion or fruition." We do this by actively pursuing obedience in the process of sanctification, which Paul explains further in the next chapter of Philippians.

Be sure to read the article in full for the complete context that this has come from, as the above is not my own work, but that of the author's.

My commitment to my cause has seen me indeed, as the article says, "actively pursuing obedience in the process of sanctification". This has come by Christ's finished work at the cross where He shed His precious, priceless blood for me and for you. I, myself, have learnt the inimitable value of focusing upon my own Faith Experience as that which is of infinite value to me, something which the Apostle Paul himself echoed in Philippians 3:8-11. As a result, I have seen other activities and people begin to drop down my list of priorities as I seek to put God first in all I do.

There is only so much time that I have in this life and every second that I waste is a second that I will never get back.

This has, unfortunately, seen the rate at which I post upon here drop significantly, but looking back I did offer a warning.

I said that the quantity would drop, just not the quality.

Final Thought

I have inadvertently wrote a full post when I only intended on offering a quick update.

Oh well, you're lucky because a lot of this clearly needed to be said.
