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!

I can see that God has wonderful plans for my life. I can see that even in my ordinary, daily endeavors that my life has a purpose. It amazes me that I can be an influence to those that I run into on the street. I was created to serve God and bring honor to Him. I was saved to be an ambassador for Him to a world that needs to be reconciled to their Creator. I can see that I have various areas of influence. I have those who are close friends and family that know me on levels that others do not. I have other friends that are not quite as close. Then I see a lot of other people that I come across on my daily tasks. It is overwhelming that God wants to use me to be an ambassador for Him to all of them. I have found that it is easy to share with some of them that I am a Christian. I would hope that I can live my life with a noticeable joy that reflects the glory of Christ living in me. I am a very flawed individual and I know that I have hindered some from accepting Christ. I also know that I will have to give an account for every careless word or deed that has been a bad testimony to God. I am thankful that I will not have to pay the price for those sins (doing what was wrong and not doing what I know was right) because Christ has already paid that price with His own life. I am NOT THERE YET... my prayer is that I can be Christ to all though, that I might lead some into a saving relationship with Him.
