For sometime now, it has been on my heart to start a blog, so today I will. Oh my, what to name it? Looking at my life's journey, the name presented itself clearly, "Ungraceful Progress". What's that mean? Well the definition of graceful is, "characterized by beauty of movement". Add the "un" and there you go, not much about my life has can be characterized by beauty of movement, but more like, "learning the hard way". The good news, I'm still moving forward and making progess, one day at a time.
All credit of progress goes simply to my faith in Christ, and the direction he has set before me. Everyday is a journey in which I look to see what opportunies are before me, try to look past the distractions and obstacles, and confidently know that God's in charge and has a plan. Many days I trip over my own pride and stubborness, but with hindsight and accountability, I repent, learn from it, and keep striving forward. God has taught me tons through this iterative process, and therefore gave me a passionate heart to help guide others and make committed disciples of Christ.
The single most important truth that I will end with, is that you cannot seperate your faith in Christ, and other aspects in life. If you truly have a relationship with Him, then there is no seperation. You cannot consider yourself religious on Sundays, and live life your way the rest of the week. Christ isn't a religious activity, event, or way of life, he is Life itself. Without this simple truth, you are missing out.
