I am really happy that you have found your way to my blog. I don’t know how you found it, you might have seen it on Facebook, maybe someone told you about it, but most likely, you found it while aimless browsing online. But, whatever led you here, I believe, you are not here by accident. No matter the path you followed here, you were sent by the Holy Spirit. That bold statement may lead you to believe that I suffer from delusions of grandeur, but I assure you it is exactly the opposite. I take responsibility for what I write but no credit. For, I am nothing more than an instrument of God and everything I write is enabled by Him.  So, if anything you read helps you in any way, if you find it inspiring, or even if it merely entertains you for a few minutes, for this you should thank God. If anything here offends you if you find you don’t like it, well that you should probably take up with me. It will be safer that way.

As for me, I have been on a journey to find God for a few years. For a very long time, I wasn’t aware He was missing from my life. But, through a series of plagues he sent to me, (I say that with humor) I came to the understanding that He was not happy with our relationship. In looking back I can see why he was not satisfied. I mean He makes no attempt to hide the fact that He is a jealous God, that He wants no one to be more important in our lives than He. Well, I must admit that until He convinced me I needed to change things, there were many things more important to me than God.

It took awhile for Him to convince me, I held out for a very long time. Today, I have no idea why I felt it necessary to hold out through so much pain. But then, there are many, many things about my former life which I can not explain, even to myself.  I decided that if I was going to have a relationship with God that would satisfy Him, it would require that I find out just who God is. When I began that search in earnest, it was very confusing. Although I did not believe, at that time, that the Bible is the literal word of God, that was not the obstacle. The obstacle was trying to understand what He was saying.

I know it is a cliche, but the Bible is too hard to read. You have to admit, in the Bible, He does not speak in the linear fashion most preferable to us in the western world, in the 21st century. So, I knew I would have to find a different way. I figured if I was going to be all in, I should ask God to tell me how to do it. So I prayed for Him to show me the best way for ME to get to know HIM. What He came up with was fascinating and it opened my mind to the idea that perhaps this guy did know me personally. In case you are wondering, no, He did not speak to me in a booming voice, it was merely an idea He put in my head.

The answer He gave me would use my talents, my interests, and my most efficient way of learning to create a path I could follow to know Him as personally as, it seemed, He knew me.  The answer was through writing about Him.  The answer quickly became the basis for this blog. I hope you find it interesting, I hope you like it, I hope that it is useful to you, But more than any of those things, I hope it brings you as close to God, as it has me.
