Religion or Relationship

As our time in the US draws near I find myself diving deeper and deeper into God's word. It is all I have to comfort and direct me. I still ask "are we doing the right thing"? Is going to Thailand how God wants me and my family to serve Him?
Our good friend Jill gave my wife and I a study book, Experiencing God by Henry and Richard Blackaby and Claude King. This study not only reinforced the things that we know about God but has also kindle our hearts to seek more after God's heart. We don't want to be religious about our daily activities with Him, we want to be all about relationship. Most people get turned off to religion because it's based on customs and traditions of the past. When we share that Christianity is not about religious ceremonies but a relationship with God, people often are more curious. I pray that you are seeking a honest relationship with God and that you are searching for His will to be done in your life.
Luke 9:23-24 "Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it."
