7 Vital Signs of Spiritual Growth – Conclusion

Well, here we are.  The end.  I’m actually going to be surprised if anyone is still reading this far into this little series.  But, I really did feel like God was asking me to put this out there.

Please know that I have not told any of these stories to put a spotlight on me.  Furthermore, I have not told any of these stories to put a spotlight on anyone else either.  I simply wanted to illustrate how these things can be real in your life.

I want to restate something from the introduction:

“I don’t want to leave the impression that I’ve got it all together.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  In December of 2011, I had a stroke.  And to be honest, I don’t think I had a reasonable conversation with God after that for at least 9 months.  At the time I needed Him most, I was running away.  I don’t study the Bible daily.  I don’t have a mentor currently.  I am not purposefully mentoring someone else.  My prayer life is constantly interrupted by my undiagnosed ADD.  I miss the daily miracles because I’m so busy.  I give money but withhold time.  I resist building community with people who aren’t like me.  I don’t like singing hymns and it distracts me from true worship.  My witness suffers greatly from my occasional foul mouth and bad attitude.”

However, I always desire to be a part of a church that is striving to grow spiritually.  I hope you do as well.  I trust that you’ll find that place and plug in.  Once you do, please don’t suck the life out of it.  Be a part of the charge that drives the growth of that local community and brings them closer to Him.

Thank you for following along.  May God bless you.
