What a great line from the song, Our Finest Year. Finally, an appropriate time to use it as a title. Really, tonight I feel like love has made a rookie of me in my 6 and 1/2 year, and I also think that this could go on to be our finest year.
That's the nature of it I guess. Every once in awhile in a relationship you get to the point where you feel like you've hit rock bottom. Sometimes it's because things seem like they're going bad for awhile. Sometimes it's because one or the other is disatisfied about something with no easy answer. Or sometimes it's a whole bunch of stuff rolled into one crappy bunch. Although some people seem to have perfect relationships, they will hit these points somewhere along the way. That's just the nature of it.
Lisa and I don't pretend to have a perfect relationship. Outsiders probably wonder how we make it work. Sometimes we wonder ourselves. The good thing is that we know the secret to making any relationship work: God.
I've been spiritually apathetic for most of my college career. I hate that, but it's true. I've been completely aware of it and at times have tried to curb the trend. I'm judgemental of others. I feel fake at times. I lust. I am basically a Sunday morning Christian. I know this and I would like it to change, but until now I have been unwilling to put the effort in.
Last week I began to pray again. My prayer life in the last few years has been non-existent. Tonight it became evident that I have also let our relationship falter because of our lack of spirituality. God can make everything new.

I found your blog because I was lookin around to find out who won SIFE Nationals. I was there but only as an observer for University of Portland, but didn't make it to the last day. Congrats on doing so well, and hopefully we will get to compete next year (We finished 1st Runner Up in Regionals this year) Hey just wanted to give you some positive encouragement in your walk with God...I was the same Sunday Christian for my first two years of school, but coming back to the Lord has been my most positive experience in the past year. So kepp on pressing in it's so worth it. God Bless!
