ON THE WAY
This is not my first attempt at a blog,but I am not an experienced blogger.My goal is to establish a site where Christians can lean who and what they are in Christ as taught in the Bible. My background is one of having been a believer for around 36 years. And in that time I struggled with life as we all do with many ups and downs. A couple of years ago I found myself a newly retired senior ,home alone and in shock after 40 years of ruining my own Barber shop. No longer the boss, owner or needed by my many clients for their hair care, in other words a nobody. Also due to acquired poor life choices I was the unhappy barrier of a unhealthy mental attitude as well as substance use issues. Still a Christian in my mind , but a failed one. Then one day about 2 years ago I awoke one morning feeling particularly low and found myself on my knees crying out to God; My prayer was as follows , "God I pray that you take me from this world as I cannot live up to what I have become in my life as Christian and if this is all that I will ever be please take me from this world. But if you choose to leave me here please show me what I can be . I would rather die than live like this, I need you to change my life and show me a new way , Amen". Well what do you know within a few days I found myself with a new outlook and begin to have a desire to search the Word as well as study a book I had, called THE COMPLETE GREEN LETTERS...........The subject matter was finding our identification in Christ. Also I found a book on Romans by William R. Newell.The Bible and these two books were then carried on a road trip of long duration. After much study and prayer I was driving on the open road between here and Canada and I asked the Lord, how God can I do, or live these thing I'm learning. A answer came like a bolt of lighting , as they say, You will do nothing I will do it all. Since that day He has, and now in the following weeks I hope to interest you as to what and how he took a sorry defeated worldly Christian sinner and showed him a entire new life. Hope you ll hang in there with me the road is very exciting and there is awaiting you a great reward I promise along the way.
