I did not make it - no IT is making me!

Wrestling with God

If you're a Christian, you are not someone alone on an island. You are part of a body, or a community, or a family. This local church is often a good experience - sometimes it's not. One thing it usually is though is fairly fake in terms of authenticity. We don't really know how everyone else is doing in their walk with God - and when people ask us how we're doing, it's usually "fine - how 'bout you?". Because we don't know, we can't support each other either. It leaves people to wrestle alone with their problems. We wrestle with our Flesh by ourselves (and if you're like me) and often lose. We wrestle with God trying to figure out how to crucify that flesh, and follow Him and His specific will for our lives - but again, it is often a personal battle alone.

Consider this my invitation to not wrestle alone any longer. Come with me, and we'll struggle along together. Maybe this can be one piece of that larger puzzle known as Church.
