WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT

​

     Why did I choose this title for the site?  It actually came to me by accident.  One day at work I came out and was headed to my car and noticed a license plate on a car in front of the office where I was working.  It was a simple plate with just PS 138:3.  This intrigued me so when I got in my car I pulled up the scripture in my phone.  It was Psalms 138:3 and it read:

​

When I called, you answered me; you greatly emboldened me.

​

     This simple verse stuck in my head and in my heart.  It took me to my present situation and also to my past.  I was raised in a Christian household for the first 19 years of my life and thought of myself as a good Christian who wanted to follow God all the days of my life.  Little did I know back then that my life would change so drastically in the coming years.  I graduated High School and started working full time at a few different jobs but soon found myself joining the Army and leaving everything I had known behind me to start a career in the military.  Slowly at first, I began to forget about being a Christian and began my fall from anything and everything associated with the Church and with God Himself.  I was living a life of sin that I thought was normal.  I lived without God for many years and didn't think anything about it.  I thought I was fine and happy and didn't need God or the Church.  I was comfortable with my sin and my way of life.  I was more concerned with self than others.  I didn't care about anything but living my life the way it was.

​

     But God had other plans for me.  While I was content where I was, little did I know that the Lord had not forgotten about me.  As Jeremiah 1:5 says:

​

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

before you were born, I set you apart....

​

Though I thought I was complete, I kept getting this voice in my head saying, "Read Isaiah".  This went on for a couple weeks every evening and I just kept ignoring it.  Then one day when I got home from work, tired and dejected from a bad day the voice came again.  This time more emphatic.  "READ ISAIAH".  I gave in and reached for my bible and opened it to Isaiah and began reading.  I read a couple chapters every night when I got home from work until I reached Isaiah 53.  As I was reading verses 3-6 it suddenly hit me.  Jesus was real and he suffered and died for me.  Even in all my sin he had done for me what I could never do for myself.  I began praying and calling to Jesus and the Father to forgive me of my sins and to cleanse me from my transgressions in my life.  That night I was started on a path of repentance and service to my Lord, Master, and Savior.  I called and He answered me.
