I love God with all my heart, I really do. But I feel like at the moment I'm just stuck, I'm not growing with him, I so badly just want to hear his voice, know for myself that he's real. Experience it for myself, not just listen to what other people tell me. That's not enough anymore, I want to get to know him personally.
But as strong as this desire is I'm so weak, there is so much of the world I so easily get caught up in on a daily basis. I love the Harry Potter series and movies, even though I've been taught to believe it's wrong. My parents know I read them, I'm not lying to them, they don't really mind even though my church has made it quite clear that that's just onew example of something we should bt trying to keep away from. And now I've found the Twilight series which I also love. Is it these worldly things keeping me from God? I know that there is no such thing as magic or vampires. I'm just so confused, is it really this wrong that I like reading these books? Is the reason I've stopped growing in my faith, or feel I am anyway.
Help.
Please.
God Bless.
