Ever look in the mirror and not like what you see? Sure, we have all had moments where we regret decisions that we have made, actions that we have taken, and words that we have spoken. However, I also find that this a completly absurd concept. Why?
Because we are who we choose and decide to be! We are the product of each of our thoughts, decisions, and actions.
The majority of people (Christians included) go through life in a fog, not really paying attention to what's going on around us, about the decisions we're making, and about the way we live our lives?
Now wait a minute, you might say! That's not true, I pay attention!
Really? Do you? Do you really take the time to consider the possible outcome and results for your actions, your words, your decisions? Do you take the time to form a plan that will lead you to attain all of those dreams you have, or for the ones that God has for you?
Most of us simply live in the moment; not giving any thought to what we're doing or how what we are doing will affect our lives or the lives of those around us.
In reality, every thought that we entertain, every word that we speak, and every decision that we make, leads us down a path. They lead us down a path that, for better or for worse, makes us into the people we have and will become.
So who are you? Are you satisfied with who you've become? Do you think God is satisfied with who you've become?
The truth is that you and I are the people whom we've chosen to be.
And if we're not satisfied with that, then we have to decide to change. We have to change what we allow ourselves to think about, how we make our decisions, and what words we choose to use.
And if we feel that God is not satisfied with who we have become, then we must be instrumental in making sure we seek His guidance for what we allow ourselves to think, to descide, and to speak.

Welcome to my world. Seeking God, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is my main goal in life. Before you think me, holier than thou, realize that I didn't say, I was good at it. I simply make it my purpose, my goal, my vision, my reason for being. I will share who I am, how I got here, where I hope to go later. For now, it is enough to state my beliefs:
1. Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God. He left heaven to be born of a virgin (Mary), lived a life where he committed no sin, at age 30 began a 3 year ministry in Israel to teach man what God was truly like, was sentenced to death and crucified for the sins of the world, died and rose from the dead 3 days later, appeared to his followers, and then rose to heaven to re-take his proper place at the right and of God. He will one day return to gather all of his believers to and take them to live with him forever in heaven.
2. Jesus is my personal Lord & savior. Even though I have sinned, along with all human beings, my acceptance of Jesus as Lord and His redeeming work of dying on the cross for my sins cleanses me from my past. Because of this, I am now a new creation; a new being. I still have the old habits, memories, and tendencies that I had before accepting Jesus; however, I now have God's Spirit living inside of me compelling me to do what is right in God's sight.
This is why seeking God, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is my main goal in life.
I hope that you will join me in seeking after God. Whether you believe what I believe or not, I invite you to check back and follow along as I tell my life story and journey from a non-believer to a believer.
