About me

Introduction	4-1/2 years ago the Holy Spirit spoke almost audibly to me. He set a challenge before me. He told me I had to choose, this day, who I would follow. Know this, I was a believer in Jesus Christ, this I've never doubted. I would classify myself as a "carnal Christian." My biggest concern in life was my own agenda, how to do what I wanted, when, and how. I could no longer ride the fence of being lukewarm. Soon after making this committment the Lord provided me with something amazing, an insatiable hunger to learn about Him. The last 4-5 years has been a very trying time for me personally and for my family. My health issues have owned me at times and navigating unchartered waters in this area has brought me to my knees daily. My mom was diagnosed and since has died of cancer in this time. I feel the aftershocks of her suffering and subsequent death each day in my faith. We all have great faith on the mountain top, but what is that faith made of in the valley? People mostly say God has blessed them when life is great and things are going just how they want. It has dawned on me that the true blessings come in the fire. So here it is...thoughts from my heart.
