the relevance of God

I was once at a place in life where I would do anything for my God. I would go anywhere to spread His fame. 

I moved on. 
To express that God has lost all relevance is a sad thought. 

But I must be honest with myself.

God can handle my honesty.

As long as I'm not doing anything "sinful" (as through the eyes of the church) than I'm doing alright. 

I have reached a point in my life where I'm questioning how relevant God is to me, to society, to the world. I'm sure in some parts of world, He (God) is alive, active, fresh, etc. 

Just not to me. 

Honesty may be a step to God becoming more relevant in me. 

Today I'm asking, "how relevant is God?"

hindrances

A hindrance is anything that blocks the way for me to do the work God has called me to. To knock down those obstacles, identification is key.

A couple years, my struggle with my sexuality was a hindrance. Now it has become an opportunity for me to share how God has worked in my life. 

Today, hurt has become a hindrance. I fear getting close to a Christian community will result in the same type of pain I experienced in the past.

I need to let that go.
