My Journey to Christ

Ok, so I have decided to return to my roots. As a child I loved to write. In fact, I would often use writing as a way to express my feelings and my thoughts. I don’t know why but when I was younger it was hard for me to express myself verbally. I was always afraid of what someone would say, what they would think and how they would react. I was afraid of offending someone or of getting in trouble for expressing how I felt. I learned that it was much easier to get things off of my chest by writing it down and then I could decided if or who I would share it with. The problem was that I often found myself writing things down on a piece of paper or in a journal and then later disposing of it. They were what I called empty words. They didn’t mean anything if no one knew what they said, right? Well this time I am writing with a purpose, one that I want to share with everyone.
Over the last few years I have gone through many things. Some good, some bad; some minor and some life changing. But what I learned was that they all worked together for my good. In a way they all brought me closer to God.
“And we know that all things work together for the good to them who love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
So why am I writing? Well, now that I am a little older and a lot wiser J I want to share my journey to Christ with everyone. I am a believer, but I also know that a lot of the things that I do, say or think about may not always be aligned with the purpose that God has for me. What I hope to accomplish with this blog is to be able to let people see that there is no such thing as a “perfect” Christian. We all, at some point, will fall short of the will of God, it’s inevitable! No matter how hard we try we will mess up because we are not perfect, nor were we created to be perfect. The important part is learning from our mistakes, picking ourselves up and moving forward on the right path.
In everything that we do there is a message. I plan to use this blog to reflect on my experiences, what I learned from them and what I believe God was trying to teach me by allowing me to go through them. Hopefully it will make me more aware, and better prepare me for future life experiences. And I also hope that my blogs will speak to someone out there who may be dealing with the same issues.

Welcome to my journey to Christ.
