Day One - Becoming a Stronger Christian

My name is Allison. I'm 32 years old, and I'm wife and a mom. I have two daughters, 6 and 2. I also have a 17 year old step-daughter. I want to become a stronger Christian, and get closer to God. I've been thinking a lot about starting a blog so I can be held accountable. It's no different than a weight loss blog in the sense that I want to change to become more like the person I want to be. First of all, I am a Christian. What that means to me is that I have a personal realtionship with Jesus, and I have been saved (or born again). I've had this relationship since I was a little girl. I got baptized when I was 11. I went through some rough years between the age of 16 -22. I got away from the Lord, and lived a life I was not proud of. After I got married, and had my first little girl, I rededicated myself to the Lord. It is still is a struggle for me to juggle the world and God. I have heard many preachers say that some people have one foot in the world and the other foot with God - on the fence. I feel like that person. I feel very lukewarm. I want the passion I once had, and I want to grow closer to God. I set some goals that I have to follow through with because I want talk about each one on this blog. On my next entry I will be honest about a lot of things that I think hold me back from being I think I could be. If you can relate to me in anyway please let me know. Maybe we can go through this journey together. It always helps to have support.
