and I realize how terrible my old life was.


Sometimes I really take advantage of the love Christ bestowed upon us. Tonight has been nothing but a constant reminder of why I should be in church.

I have been skipping on Sundays and my wife has been taking the baby by herself.

I realize now how selfish I have been and how blessed I really am to even have a family who loves God as much as I do.





I know this is a random spurt but I really feel like its a good thing for some to read.


Even tho I miss my old life and the stuff I used to get into the lord has really given me a new beginning and the most beautiful family I could ever ask for.


"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus"

Everytime I read this verse I realize its never too late and it doesn't matter what we've done.



God is good. Hope you're all having a blessed evening :wub:

The text says "From eternity to eternity I Am God, and nothing can undo what I have done". Find peace in that. Find peace in the fact that you are valuable in the eyes of your creator. He has tasted death and conquered hell so that you live. The bible says that when we truly seek him, we will find him and he will remove us from our place of captivity. Believe that the grace of the almighty is sufficient despite our depravity. I pray that you may enter a season of repentance and refinement, so that in your weakness, you may be reminded of grace, and how amazing it is.

Jesus I pray that you may forgive us for the idols from out past, present and future. I pray that we may drop our pride and arrogance. I pray that we will wipe away the paint we out on our faces to make us seem okay, so that we may stand before you bare and exposed. You knew us before we were ever in the womb, yet we are foolish enough to believe that we may hide things from you. Jesus I beg you to refine us. Mold us, break us, and shape us. Father, I personally ask that you make me less like me, and more like you. You have placed a message of truth in our clumsy and irresponsible hands. I need you. We need you. You are the giver, creator and destroyer, you are the authenticator of grace. You are the Alpha and Omega. YOU ARE GOD. Forgive us of our foolishness, and remind us what it is to love. In the awesome name of Jesus I pray these things, amen.



Miss you brother.
