the beginning


so here it begins, the start of a bloggifed journey. in truth, the beginning started in february of my freshman year of high school. an evangelist came rolling into town and the Spirit of God moved in me like no other time before. it was the sunday night of his series where God called me out of my sin and brokenness to be set apart, to live for Him and through Him. that is when my relationship with Jesus started.

as for the time between, it's been crazy, sometimes great, not always worthy of noting, but my life nonetheless. but now it is time. it's time to forget who i am, and become who He wants me to be. to be honest, i'm going to screw up. but sometimes, i'm going to do it right, right in His eyes. it's going to be a journey of working my salvation out on my knees. a life lived in devotion to the one true God. so the day that i go to join Him, He will say to me "well done, good and faithful servant."

so here i go, chasing madly after my Creator, following the path He laid out for me. come run along side of me, help me, pray with me, but most of all, worship our incredible God with me by living your life for HIS renown, not your own.

"therefore, i urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will." - romans 12:1-2


in & for HIM
