Welcome to my story

I am a child of God. I believe that the Bible is God's word. Jesus paid the price for my sins and because of Him, I am redeemed. I am a Christian, a follower of Christ. I am trying to live out God's greatest command: Love God with all your heart soul and mind and love others as yourself.

Easier said than done.
I have had a relationship with God since 1985 and since then, we have walked together through many peaks and valleys. God has surprised me in more ways than I could ever express, all of them ultimately good and many of which I will chronicle here. I believe with all my heart that God withholds nothing good from me--but our ideas of what is good often don't match up. This blog is meant to explore the journey I am on to accept the good God gives me. He is writing my story and it's all for His glory. I write my plans in pencil and give Him the eraser.

So why start this blog now? I have several other blogs, so why get all spiritual??

Because for longer than I care to admit, God and I have been having a long-distance relationship. He is beckoning me to return to Him. I am finally willing to start the process and I feel He has asked me to chronicle it so that others may be blessed by it and so He will receive the glory.

I hope you find inspiration here. I hope you realize that you are not alone on your journey. A lot of imperfect people have found God and He invites everyone into a relationship with Him. Welcome.

I hope this blog encourages you as God writes YOUR story. To God be the glory.
