This is my first attempt at Blogging, and I am a baby in Christ. I feel as if God has something for me to share with you guys out there in cyberspace; about God and His infinite wisdom, glory and provisions.
This has been a most peculiar year for me. I met a beautiful woman in November "08" - who I fell in love with, I got laid off in December of "08", Got saved at the beginning of "09"...I have had my truck repossessed, my townhouse has been foreclosed on...I'm presently at a Days Inn here in Houston...and while we still love each other my girlfriend is having a rough time with my being unemployed (which I understand from a secular point of view).
However I must say that God has been faithful to me this entire time (He has not let me down for one minuet), while it may not seem it to many who read this, but there is so much that God has done for me during this time. He has been teaching me things about His glory, and about me being patient, He has been a caring Provider and through "HIM" I am about to make a serious life altering move into missionary work starting out in Africa...something that I never imagined myself doing. BUT that is how Our God works, He has you do things that He needs you to do. And I owe all these changes and alterations in my life to God...
I give Him all the glory for everything that is taking place in my life. I try and wake up every morning and Praise Him...thank Him for giving me another day to serve Him. It isn't easy and there are those days when Satan gets a hold of me and just tortures me. By inserting doubt, shame...hopelessness...it is truly a roller coaster ride, but one that I will continue to ride the rest of my life, because it is better than the alternative. The thought of being in a place like heaven for eternity...walking side by side with God...WOW...it is the only way to go...you see before I made the decision to "give my life to God". I feel like I was the worse kind of sinner. I didn't have an excuse of having a drug addiction, nor was I an alcoholic. I drank like a fish...and that adversely effected my life in many ways...but I was not a Christian because I "CHOSE" not to be. I ask you; how lame is that?
I didn't live for anything but me....
I am starting this blog to log my growth in Christ, to log my journeys with Christ at my side, as I walk with the Master. He is guiding me and He is the reason that I am going to get to do something for Him by me going to Africa. This is truly going to be an experience of a lifetime and I am going to share it with all who want follow my journey in life, and in Christ. I hope that it will be interesting for you to come along with me on this journey that God has chosen me for, and that I will be able to share the greatness of God through the adventures that He is allowing me to experience.
Until next time...
Father God I come to You today to ask You to guide my words so that they are able to show Your Greatness and Majesty. I ask that You use the Holy Spirit to touch the souls of everyone who reads this blog in the way that only You know Father, and for whatever reason that You would have, for You are our God and our Provider, these things I pray to you Father God, in Jesus' name...Amen.
