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!

What can I possibly offer to God? He owns everything because He created everything out of nothing. I don't know what He ever saw in me. I know He created me the way He wanted. I was made perfect. I became flawed and damaged by sins of my own choosing. I have been forgiven by His very blood. I can offer at the least all I have to give. Yes, it is nothing compared to what He has or what He has given me. Yet, what I offer Him is somehow transformed into more than I could ever imagine. I see God multiplying my gifts to reach so many more than I could ever reach. I see my talents expand with power from God. It is so hard to believe that anything that I could ever offer Him would be a sweet aroma to Him. I am NOT THERE YET... but He accepts my offerings that come from my sincere adoration. He sees what I can become because He created that way. I am NOT THERE YET... but when I get there, I will lay any reward that I might receive (only by His grace) at His feet in worship.
