So many times, lost, abandoned, but why? I ask myself this question so many times and really am finding out the answers. Slowly, but they are appearing in God's timing.
I have to say a good friend of mine, a fellow brother deserves the credit for inspiring me to finally start documenting my thoughts as I seek the Lord in my day to day adventures. He is one of my brothers in Christ here in the area that have been able to speak into my life. But lately I've been embarking on a new journey thanks to a good friend, a amazing guy, whom I consider more than a brother in Christ, more than a friend, but a true brother. This guy has been looking out for me for the past 2 1/2 years and still is. It's simply amazing to see what the Lord does to keep us on our toes....my only problem was I, yet again, was not receptive to what the Lord was trying to show me, in a sense living a double standard. But lately as I've set some solid new standards I have been touched with love and the abounding Grace with which I have been saved.
God has really been speaking to me, not only with in my personal life, but in all relationships, whether my roommates, my family, my good close friends, or my darling girlfriend. My anger has been ceasing which is an amazing blessing and I've been so much happier these days, excited to see what is coming next.
I need to respond to something to a recent post from my friend, who I previously mentioned, wrote on his blog. Who are we really? Are we truly living as Christians should, or just maybe acting as one but in some areas not? Ask yourself that question...I know I was convicted by the term he used, Practical Atheist. WOW! This was something I have always wrestled with as many of you may have. How can we fix this guys? I know I've been challenged recently and then God has that funny sense of humor to spark the thought yet again to prove the importance. I know I'm stunned at many areas in my life....and I consider myself a Christian!? Who am I kidding. That might sound real harsh and horrible to say about myself, but I'm honestly ashamed.
Many things are changing and developing as I embark on one incredible journey called life. Please pray with me every day that we set aside all distractions and nasty things of this world and can become vessels for Christ. I'm praying for you all, brothers, sisters.

Thank you for your honesty. It made me think and smile.
