i have quite a few comments to make about this, but I can't think about them all right now... (so nice that livejournal makes it so easy to comment multiple times..) comment 1) i just wanted to see what you got for the power color, because i was hopeing that it would be one where you and i would gte DIFFERENT results. :-) cool to see that for once we DID, right?
all the other comments have something to do with "it is good to be honest with yourself whenever possible" more (later.)
I've never been a "good" Christian. I used to go to church 2-3 times a week and all that, but I never devoted time to read the Bible except when I felt like I wanted to; I never made myself read it when I didn't have to

Hypocrisy. Ugh. It's one of the things I hate the most but I'll be the first to admit I've been there, done that before. Though I try SO hard not to. I'm sorry you've been so hurt and turned off from the things of God because of that. Christians should be good examples but when they're not, just remember Jesus was a perfect one and He's the only person we can ever trust 100% not to let us down. I know, that sounds like a cop out answer, but it's not.
As for having trouble finding the desire to read your Bible... oh my word, can I relate. I am so bad about that. And praying. I used to pray more than I do and certainly at WOLBI I read the Bible more. I really need to get back into it. I know that. And I even have time. I just never seem to think of it. I'll make you a deal: you pray for me about having a desire to read God's Word and I'll do the same for you. Deal?
I think also I need to deal with all this stuff underneath that is keeping me from wanting to... otherwise I know I will go through this cycle again... it has happened before...
I think it is something that everyone struggles with, even the ones that seem like they have it all together... :)
