Thoughts From My Life

I was thinking about my life, I am back to writing not just a blog, but the things that I have learned through life.

God has taught me so much. When I first started writing this blog I wrote it without God and then I realized that He is the only way I am who I am today. I needed to give Him the glory and the credit for the man I am. I don't want to hide His light from affecting others, I need to allow Him to shine brighter for me to be a mirror and reflect His Love and reflect Him.

He has changed me. Yes, I had to make the choices to allow Him to do it, but He has made me new. I have been a Christian my entire life, but I didn't really make the connection of what it meant until about 3 plus years ago. It is through this time that I have seen Him move mountains and really become real to me in all that He has done and just to think He is not done with me yet, He continues to change me. I am a work in progress, I am a painting and yet I don't know what the painting is, He is making me who I need to be and in that yes it is scary, but I am trusting Him and in due time He will reveal who I am to be, but right now I write to express what He is doing and has done.

When I look back over the last 3 years and all I have learned. I asked God why He taught me so much about love, so much about loving the way He wants us to love. I asked Him what is the use if I am to walk this world alone. He brought me the love of my life. I didn't think I would find her and I wouldn't have, but God. I am excited that He continues to teach me about loving His way. I continue to fall in love with my fiance and allowing God to teach me about His love. I have my human struggles, but God has been faithful to remind me of His love for me and His love for her. We continue to walk closer together and God reveals Himself to us both.

I have had to make some choices and one of them is complete surrender to His will. Saying Lord this relationship is yours, just like Abraham did with Isaac, starting in Genesis 22. I need to allow Him to work and allow Him to continue to show me the man I need to be, the fiance, the future husband, the father and the future step father. I need to allow God to work in me in doing all of that. I know that He continues to change me and in that I am encouraged to be the man of God I need to be.

Thank you for joining me on this journey as I share it with you. I don't know what it looks like to you, but I am excited to see what He will continue to do. I am excited that He is in control and that He will open doors and close the one that need to be closed.

I came across this song this morning and I wanted to share it with you.

Keith Green – Oh Lord, You're Beautiful

Oh Lord You are Beautiful
Your face is all I see
For when Your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me

Oh Lord, please light the fire
That once burned bright and clean
Replace the lamp of my first love
That burns with holy fear

I want to take Your Word and shine it all around
But first help me just ot live it, Lord
And when I'm doing well, help me to never seek a crown
For my reward is giving glory to You
