The Actuality...

I never once expected to keep posting on a daily basis, but 11 days without a post is a bit long (even for me).

11 days doesn't seem that long, but when you live day by day it is a roller coaster of events. I still have the faith that God works things out in his own time, but with faith comes the testing of faith. Most of the 11 days were uneventful, with a few religious discussions (one particular at Subway about being wise), other days seemed to coast by on auto-pilot.

The lastest and probably biggest event was news I just recieved about a dear friend of mine who may not ever preach again (according to doctors). This is where faith and strength come into play. I could write on and on, but to sum it up...the "actuality" of it is this -

...that faith is hard, life seems random and walking the Christian walk is difficult but worth it. Keep praying and never give up. Encourage yourself and thank God in everything.

The Process...

This journey is a process. I am trying to put forth the effort that true Christanity requires. I failed yesterday, but there is hope in that fact alone, because it was YESTERDAY that I failed. A defeated Christian will live in the past because that is what Satan uses to distract us from the victories of today. I asked for forgiveness, and now look forward to the opportunity to use the strength God gave me.

I love humor and I believe that God uses humor to help me realize He is always with me. Humor gets my attention, then God is able to speak to me. I am blessed today and looking forward to Wednesday night, knowing that God will work!

2/365.

Moving Forward...

Moving forward. It is a simple concept, so why it is so hard to do? Why do we become complacent with our status? Why do we feel like we are turning our wheels with the parking brake on?

I started this blog as a witnessing tool to help others. Sadly, this tool, as well as my door to door witnessing has screeched to a halt. At some point I began believing that I could coast through my relationship with Christ and still maintain the level of spirituality that I was at a year ago. In retrospect: FALSE!

With God's help, I hope to break my spiritual stalemate and return to the place where God would have me, the place I can be most beneficial to those around me. The place that is nestled in the middle of God's will and God's hands.

I start my journey today!
