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!

NOTE: I have decided that every seventh post on this blog (hoping that I post one a day) will not be a rant or summary of my collective thought about my relationship with God... but rather a written prayer to God...

Lord of all creation, I come before You tonight in awesome wonder of how I can even come before You at all. I have been thinking a lot this week about us and where I am in relation to Your greatness. Things have been fairly normal in my everyday activities, but I have seen several glimpses of Your presence around me (which has been very comforting and encouraging). I am so thankful to be able to petition You. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for standing between an unapproachable, holy God and this sinner. You have made all things right between the Father and me. I pray that my actions will continue to be glory to You. I also pray that my thoughts will be held captive. May my goal be to know You better tomorrow than I know You today. I am NOT THERE YET, Lord; but thanks to You, I am on the right path. In Jesus' name, amen.
