So I was listening to this song while I was doing homework, and it really made me start thinking. I am currently babysitting my nephew Bentley (pictured below), and I just cannot believe how fast he has grown up over two years. I remember when my roommate got him, and how small he was. Before we knew it he was a 50 pound ball of muscle, slobber, and more love than you could ask for! Obviously I love him how he is now, but I wish I could go back to the days when he was so small and needed us for everything. It is in a way, the exact opposite of how most of us, including myself develop as Christians. I wish that I could say that God sees me and thinks, "Reid has just grown up way too fast..., but that is not the case. I know He does not want me to revert to the "little" (pre- salvation) Reid of the past. I really want to truly grow up quicker in my relationship and take my Christian walk to the next level. I challenge any and all of you to do the same. When was the last time we read our Bible and really studied the words, or for some of us even read it at all. Just like we cannot grow without the proper nutrition and food, we cannot grow without feeding our minds and spirits with God's word. I would be embarrassed to have to face my maker today and admit that although I am 22 years old, I am still a spiritual baby. WE GOTTA GROW!!!! Stay Blessed.
