I am not there yet! That is my life. I have been called out of this world by Christ Jesus, my Savior. I am forgiven by the shedding of His sacrificial blood. I am being transformed into His likeness now. I am not there yet though. I am not perfect. I am not sinless. I am not holy. I am not completely conformed to His likeness. I am still on my journey. This blog serves as a learning tool for myself and other pilgrims making this same journey. This is not a blog that will be about the events or people in my life. It is about the relationship that I have with my Lord and Savior. This blog will chronicle my journey... the ups, downs, self evaluations, desires, and discoveries. This is my journey... I am NOT THERE YET!

"Be still and know that He is God." That is a very high goal to accomplish. My life stays busy. My thoughts are sporadic. I just need to quiet myself and do whatever that might require me to do. Get away from the noise. Clear my schedule. Lock myself away from the world. Silence the many voices that have been given my attention. After all, my goal is to be transformed into His perfect likeness. That requires me to listen to Him and truly let Him reveal Himself to me. It only happens if I let it happen. When I talk I speak from the limited knowledge and futile reasoning that comes from the mind of a finite individual. My wisdom has failed me on numerous accounts. I cannot even explain myself to the level that He knows me. Stop throwing up answers in desperation! Trust something beyond your own wisdom! Hush! I am NOT THERE YET. I am going to stop talking now and spend some time listening.
