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!

Some people may call Christ a crutch. They may ridicule that I need to believe in God because I am lacking in self-esteem or self-confidence. I am limited in my thought process and unwilling to face the facts. Perhaps I am too self-centered to think that others could possibly be right and, thus, making me wrong. I just need to give up the very idea of God and the religious chains that have enslaved my life. I am not a prisoner to God though. I am a voluntary slave to God. I have been given a free range of life that allows me to do whatever I would ever want to do. I still have a choice. I choose Christ and His love, because everything else is empty in comparison. I find satisfaction in Christ that cannot be found elsewhere. I can partake in all that life has to offer. I can seek to satisfy the parts of me that are temporary (its physical, emotional, social, and psychological aspects) and its desires through all that can be consumed through the senses. The one aspect of my existence though that equals true satisfaction is the spiritual part of me. It is amazing how feeding one part of me leads to all the other needs being met. I am NOT THERE YET... to the ultimate fulfillment of my faith (SIGHT), but I am hungry for more of the only thing that has ever satisfied my endless search for fulfillment.
