I have been a Christian for a while now and the one thing that becomes more clear to me every day is how complicated I have made being a Christian. Recently, I have attempted to simplify my life to purge out all the activities and thoughts that are not of  God and that keep me from getting closer to Him. Many of those activities and thoughts are or have been allegedly spiritual.  These are my insights about the journey that I am on.

I am a Christian counselor and I have the privilege to serve in several mental health settings. I find myself dispensing advice and realizing that the world, even the Christian world, has many diverse views of who God is and what it means to be a Christian. I will not be so bold as to say that I know what God is thinking, but I truly do want to know what is in His heart. The thoughts that I express are an effort to move along the path of relationship with Him.
