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!

God gives me grace for every moment of my life. I am tempted... He gives me a way out. I am depressed... He consoles me. I am lonely... I feel Him close. I am puffed up with pride... He humbles me. I am happy... He rejoices with me. I am angry... He allows me to vent to Him. I am suffering... He can relate to me in my pain. I sin against Him... He forgives me. Every emotion that I have, He is touched by it. God is not aloof from what is happening in my life. He knows me so intimately. He is here right now. He is listening to the outpouring of my heart right now. Wow! I am so glad that I can say that I am a friend of God. My heart was once set against God, but His Word penetrated my heart of stone. I do not chase after God like a wild goose chase. I walk in a relationship with Him. I cannot wait to see His face. I am NOT THERE YET.
