I will get back to posting as soon as I can. It has been a really busy few days for me.

God is Good

Hello all!

I am getting back into the "blog scene" that I once frequented. I think it will be good for me to "find my way", as well as share my thoughts and readings along the way.

I grew up in a baptist church, and I was baptized when I was 14 years old. I went to an awesome Christian camp every summer, that just did terrific things in helping me understand my faith and God and relating with other Christians. I always felt like other kids made their profession of faith so early, and I just wasn't there yet. From there on out, I just rolled along in life. I had my ups and downs just like everyone else. And there were times when God just really grabbed me and pulled me in. From 2012 to maybe 2014 I was on a pretty close journey with God for a while. And it was totally awesome!

I read "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young every morning in 2012. It is a really cool thing that just started my day off right. I've never done any other devotion like it. Just spending a few minutes every morning reading Jesus Calling, and reading the scripture.

The next year I read "Abundant Life" by Nancy Grace; it is definitely a similar experience to Jesus Calling, and it really helped me to stay on track for the day ahead.

Since maybe some time in 2014, I have not been walking as closely with God. I read Jesus Calling sometimes, I read the Bible sometimes, and I go to church sometimes. But I do know now from looking at the last 8 years of my life, that things are a lot better when I strive to do those things all the time. So that is what I'm doing now. Striving.

So my goal is to share my thoughts on what I am currently studying as often as I can!

Feel free to leave comments or ask questions!
