Ok, so I guess I need to explain the name of the blog. When I was 16 years old, I was challenged by the words of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthian church. In his second letter to Corinth, chapter 5 verse 17, Paul says that if anyone is in Christ Jesus, he is a new creation.
That night I realized that I was old. I still belonged to the old way of life, despite the fact that I grew up in church. Despite the fact that I had "walked the aisle" at age 7. I realized that when I was 7, I desired the safety of God. I didn't want to go to Hell. I mean, really, who does? But I didn't want to neccesarily follow Christ either. I was having way to much fun saying, doing, thinking, listening to, deciding, etc. what I wanted to do. But at age 16, my "wants" changed, because Christ changed me. My wants were His wants, as Jesus became alive to me. I became a new creation that night. And as a result, I am not myself today. I am not the man I once was: lost, depraved, degenerate, hopeless. And thank God. No really. Thank you, God.
So I started a blog to provide a board to ramble. To share things that this God that changed my life lays on my heart. Because He continues to change my life...daily. Prayerfully, yours will as well.
