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 see people that radiate Christ. I see others who I know are Christians but their relationship with Christ is kept vague. I am wondering if my light is radiant or dim. Does my life exhibit Christ to others? Is my life a pleasing aroma to Christ or does it stink of sin? I read accounts of people who have encountered Christ and their lives are drastically changed. Mine has experienced a change, but it has been a gradual process. I am not blaming God. I have been slow to surrender my life to His control. I am NOT THERE YET, and every day I am reminded how much I am still sitting on the throne of my life. I want to be bold, but I am timid. I want to be proclaim His message loud in my life, but I am unfortunately ashamed when pressured by the eyes of this watching world. He did not save me to be afraid. He is with me in the public arena of life. God has filled me with His Spirit to seal me until the day He returns for me. I am NOT THERE YET.
