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 am reaching goals. I am seeing small victories in my life. I can see how God has changed me. I can see how God is changing me. I can see that the more I focus on God then the less I fall back to those things in my past. I know better than to set my goals to high and unrealistic. I do have an ultimate goal... God's holiness and His holy standard. I realize though that I cannot reach such a glorious prize without taking the individual, daily death of my desires, pride, and self. I cannot commit a lifetime to God without committing my individual days to Him. So, tomorrow is the first goal to attain. I want to be with God tomorrow, so that I can be with God the next day and every day afterwards. Included in that commitment of tomorrow, I will do what God has given me to accomplish with joy, purpose, and a self-sacrificing attitude. I have been crucified with Christ... and I am really living. I am NOT THERE YET... but I am taking it one step at a time.
