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 was reminded today that the eyes are the window of the body... and I chose to open them to God's radiance and allow His light to shine. I live in a world that is filled with so much darkness. If I focus on the negative things around me, I become engulfed in darkness. I instead meditated on the truth of God. It amazes me how much everything around me is seen in a whole new light (the lens of His great truth). I see people as beloved creations of God the artist. I see problems as a means to reach an end that makes them worth it. I see life as an abundant experience with a purpose to honor my Lord and Savior. I have enjoyed basking in the warmth of His love today. I don't know why people would refuse to open their eyes to His light and accept His love. I can't wait until the day when His light will shine so bright in His city that there will be no need for the sun. I am NOT THERE YET, but just thinking about it is like peeking through the windows of my eternal home.
