Summer Resolution...Failed?

Before I post I want to say,hello everyone! I'm back!(: Haha,okay.

--Before summer came I made a resolution to study the bible and read it everyday so I could become a better person spiritually and in the world. But I've failed. At first I did really good. For the first few weeks I wrote in my God journal and read a chapter or two every day. But still I felt nothing. The words I were reading weren't speaking to me and with my sister sharing a room with me,I never had time to read (She's nine and watches tv alot).

So,I stopped reading the bible. I went back to my old ways and reactivated my facebook;which my parents forbid me to be on. I stopped coming on here and I did things I am not proud of. But now I want to change. I feel guilty and angry at my self that I did such a thing.

I want to go back to school and be a new person. I want my old friends and people who have yet to know me to look at me and know there's something different about me. I no longer want to be that girl who dates any guy who looks her way or the girl who doesn't care about anything. I want to be known as the girl who loves everyone and loves God. The girl who's not emberassed of the Gospel.

But it's already August 13 and school comes back on the 27th for me. I'm not sure if I'll be able to fulfill those goals but I was hoping some of you or whoever reads this could give me some tips. Like what to do when my younger sibling wants to watch tv and I need to read the bible. Stuff like that really. Because I really want to change so I can be on fire for the Lord.

Thanks for reading(:

God bless.

xoxox,

Kanisha(:

I can not figure out how to do this but my friend, Taylor says I need to find time to spend time with my Savior but I just really to be honest, don't want to and don't get what the bible is telling me.

Comment by Evangeline Colarossi on August 17, 2012 at 10:14am: i am the same way. i have 3 sisters, and im homeschooled, so its not liek tehy r at school all day, and so i NEED to read my Bible, talk to God, and exersize, but with 2 lil sisters (2 and 6, abnd teh 6 yr old has downs syndrom) i have to help and watch them and clean ect a TON, and i dont get a lot of free time, my dad is a part time semi truck driver, so he isnt always at home.

i dont really have a time OR place to go for quiet time, my closet and room doesnt have any door on tehm since it is a newer house that we h ad built last year.. but i feel like when i DO get myself time, i shouldl be able to read or do soemthing i like, since i talk to God like He is right there, at my side, Like a kid wopuld talk to an imaginary freind...

I talk to Him all day, and i do devo at nighty, so when i DO get free time, why should I have to sacrifice my rare time, for what i constatntly am doing?

Also, if your sister is watching tv, go to a different room! Go somewhere you can be by yourself for a little bit!

Comment by Sarah R. on August 15, 2012 at 10:33am: here's something I realize. we can't make ourselves into a better person. all we can do is realize how big GOD is and let him change us for the better. It may seem like a weird concept, but read Revelation 4 to get a scope of how big and powerful GOD really is.

Comment by Alysha Argot on August 14, 2012 at 10:12am: I know how you feel about reading the Bible and not feeling anything. You can pray that god would reveal Himself to you when you are reading the Bible, and also there is a book called The Story and it is pretty much the Bible in story form. Is there anywhere else in your house you could go to read your Bible where you will not be bothered?

Comment by Shandelys ramos on August 13, 2012 at 6:12pm: Hey girly I was like you once when I read the bible it felt like I was reading a blank English book but as i drew closer to god he revealed to me what he was saying in the bible and it became a great experience when I read the bible. A big tip is to have a bible that you can translate and understand like a teen bible for girls. Also about wanting your old friends not saying it's a bad thing but when you give your life to Jesus you tend to realize that the things your old friends do is not something you want to be involved with even though you love them you guys are unyolked and that's bad company. And when you sibling wants to watch tv tell her hey I have a better idea do you want to hear and awesome story about jesus or Moses or joseph and tell her that after you guys can watch tv.I hope this helped :)
