A Life Bought Back

As I sit here I am motivated to share with those who will choose to read my blog a part of the deepest and most sacred thoughts, hopes, dreams, of my heart, even the icky and the lovely, in which the Almighty God is forever tweaking and perfecting. The life set before me has been given and entrusted to me, a gift in which I choose daily to be led and driven by the Spirit of my Father. I am proof that there is such a thing called freedom. When darkness and death seem to be crawling into life and which overcoming all evil seems completely impossible, I am here and alive to say it is not impossible. My God is greater. My God is healer. My God is the author of all life and He has given me a chance to live passionately alive. Because of this second chance which has been graciously given to me by my Redeemer, I want to share with all the world of what He continues to do to conform me more and more unto His image.

Although God has brought me from death unto life, the life He has given me still carries the evil fleshly desires, thoughts, and even actions of this world. I struggle daily to follow God's heart and not my own. We walk a life journey of molding into the likeness of Christ, a goal which cannot be entirely attained until we meet our Savior face to face in the home He prepares for us now. Walk this journey with me friends, may we walk the adventure of life hand in hand with our God while never losing sight of the cross...

"Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me His own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:12-14
