Ups and Downs

I have seen God's work in me lately and it is really exciting. About a month and a half ago I was really struggling with a block. There was something that was holding me back from God, but I did not know what it was. I asked Him to show me and He did...all I had to do was trust. So you would think that after figuring this out I would be chasing after God and wanting to do my devotions, but that was not the case. My spiritual life is up and down all the time. This really frustrates me. I was expecting God to do everything and just make me a better Christian, but I have to put some effort in to this relationship too. I can tell that many people have been praying for me. I am no longer frustrated with God. Now that does not mean that I have a perfect relationship with Him, but He is working in me and that is very exciting. I hope that what I am writing will maybe be an inspiration to someone out there. One thing that you need to remember is that relationships take time and you have to do your part in that relationship.
