The truth is that God asked me to start this blog a few years ago, but after a few false starts and many excuses, I’ve only got started now.
To my shame I’m only starting now because I believe God will not move me and my family in other area’s if I’m not faithful in this one. Fear and pride has held me back for far too long. I still do not understand why God has asked me to do this but I guess I don’t need too, I just need to be obedient and trust him.
The purpose of this blog is to openly document the challenges and joys of living as a Christian man in this world. I want to glorify God by how I live, but sometimes I fail and other times I can see God’s hand in the things I’ve done and it is exciting.
I believe that God is asking me to document the ups and downs of my walk with him. To talk about the situations in my life good and bad. To talk about how I deal with both, about how to learn from both, about how to recover from mistakes and rejoice in the successes.
As I have found so far in my walk with Jesus, as I try and help others I am helped. In teaching I grow, when I give I am given too. So I guess the hope for this blog is that in trying to help others I will learn and grow. As I encourage I will be encouraged, as I love I will be loved. God has the plan, I do not.
More than anything else I pray that in all things God would be lifted up, that he would get the Glory and Honour and the Praise.
