Yet Another Blog?

Since August 20th, the day I wrote the first post, I have been pondering the reason why I created this site and what , after sharing my testimony, would I write about? What would be the point of yet another blog? After contemplating, praying and staying in The Word, I believe that this tiny space in the universe is to be one where through honest conversation, the healing power, love, grace and mercy of Jesus can be shared in such a way as to, as Paul puts it in Philipians 3:14, "... press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

If you, like me, sometimes feel as though this walk is uphill, against hurricane like winds, that takes every ounce of blood, sweat and tears to keep pressing forward, here you will find encouragment to keep on pushing. Or, perhaps you are walking on dark roads, unable to rid yourself of destructive habits or life patterns, and wonder if love and light are ever to be found. Many of us have been where you are and here you will discover some amazing ways by which our lives were changed, and hopefully, yours can change too.

I pray that through laughter, tears, screams and shouts, we can all find the love and life that our Maker wants us to have. One wherein we: (1) discover and use gifts we never knew we had, (2)are unafraid and unashamed to let others know the source of our joy and (3) become the men and women we were created to be. This journey will not always be easy. Some of us may have to revisit places in our memories to which we never wanted to return. Others of us will have to get honest, real honest, perhaps for the first time in a long while, or ever. But without facing the giants in our lives, we cannot obtain the victory waiting right behind it. God told the leader Joshua, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." No matter the giant, no matter how long it's hovered over you, no matter the lies it whispers, know that with God, it can be defeated!
