Please comment and criticize my blog, I enjoy and learn from the feedback even if it is negative. Give me your views on the topics. They are set to anonymous so anyone can comment but if you wish you may leave your info or contact me that is fine also.
This space is the space where I discuss the things going on in my life and that are important to me. Most of the things posted here will be the messages of God I hear and learn from various sources. Those messages are from the church I attend or from scripture . I like to relate them to my life to gain insight on what God is trying to tell me. I wanted to make this partially to share the word of God with others but it helps keep me on track in life also as I am by no means a perfect Christian, but all we can do is try our best.
The bibles I use are The New American Standard Bible, and The Message. The Message is a plain English bible and is my favorite to read from as I don't struggle to understand whats going on however if I am studying a particular topic I use both to ensure I'm not loosing anything in translation. I will usually use The Message to pull verses from for this blog.
The church I attend is The Crossing and they have sermons available online for you to listen to if you like: Crossing Sermons
About Me
I was not always a Christian early in life. I felt like God allowed bad things to happen in my life and to those around me because I didn't fully understand the way He works. For a long time I didn't know if God existed and it was hard for me being a engineering/science major to dismiss evolution. No one ever really took the time out to teach me about Christianity until about two years ago when one person changed my life. I started to learn the ways of God and understand more about how He works in/through us. I followed his teachings for a while and then I stopped going to church and reading because I was going through a hard time in my life. I pushed those closest to me away and hurt them. I see now that was the wrong path to take, at the time I was blinded by my challenges and short comings. I slowly started reading scripture again over the past few months and went to church once in a while, but I was living in a daze. Recent events in my live have pushed me to a point were I could not handle it all on my own. I had to turn to God for His help. I prayed to Him and started to feel Him in my life for the first time. It inspired me to pursue my faith by being a more active Christian. I feel that these writings will help me and others learn from Christ.
I am at a point in my life where I am faced with a darkness that has to be walked through but I have to have faith in God, I realize I must put my life in his hands for He knows the right path for me and will lead me to the other side. Despite the fact that I am scared of what may happen, I place my faith in God because He is the only one that can help me where I am going. It is hard for me because I want to take charge of my own life. I have always had trust issues however I feel that changing.
