Process

It's not about perfection; it's about our intimacy with God, or our connection, our relationship with God. Once we get through that, once we realize that we can be imperfect, flawed, broken; those kinds of things are the ingredients of spirituality. - Mike Yaconelli

Awesome qoute. James might've used it, but i honestly don't remember. But this is truthfully my life in a nut shell. I always thought you had to always be committed to praying EVERYDAY and reading your bible EVERYDAY...and if you skip a day...UHP! You're in trouble! And though these things do really incredibly help our realtionship, doesn't mean they MAKE my relationship with God...

At youth conventions I feel really...attacked. They do altar calls and ask the crowd all these questions like if they've doubted God and things like that...and I always feel myself saying 'yes' to every question...and I'm already a CHRISTIAN! So I never go up...but when I talked to Heather i found out I'm just vulnerable...I don't have a very high opinion of myself as a Christian...and those youth rallies just ATTACK ME spiritually...which is kinda messed up.

But this qoute makes me think of a true christian...one that isn't perfect...one that I am. That's encouaging!

Yay for Mike Yaconelli!
