the latest

I can't believe it's been 2 months since I've done this. Anyways since my last post I have been focused on a lot of things. I've been reading through the New Testament regularly since I was saved and I'm reading it with an interest that I didn't have before. I grew up in the church and read parts of the Bible all the time but never like this. I'm reading it and everything is so new. I'm actually learning about Jesus and the apostles. I've only read to the 14th chapter of Acts but when I was reading before I was saved it was like I'd read a section of scripture, listen to what whoever had to say and believe that. Now I read it and I learn from it. I don't wait for someone to tell me what the Bible says, I read it for myself and have my own viewpoints. It's really cool. That is the most important and exciting thing that has happened so far. Besides that I've been learning to climb poles at the electric dept., which is scary but really fun at the same time. Mainly because I can climb up there and be a part of the work and learn. It's also exciting because the more I learn about electricity the more marketable I become. So that's cool. anyways it's like 2 in the morning and I'm going to bed.

it's been a looooong time

Well a lot has happened since my last post. One big thing in particular has changed. I was thinking about my salvation and I didn't really remember why I did it. I felt like there was a lot of doubt in it. I think that I did it without really committing to it. Anyway I had doubts and I was at wal-mart thinking about it. I really wanted to nail it down and not worry about that. I thought about the problems that I was dealing with and I realized that I had never actually trusted and had faith that God was going to do anything for me. So I called my pastor and talked with him and I gave my life to Jesus. I know that now without any doubt. I think about the problems that I was dealing with and they are pretty selfish. Also another reason that I doubted was because I don't ever remember actually wanting to read the Bible and learn about God. Now I actually want to get deeper into God's Word and I really want to serve God. But most importantly I always thought about if I was really a Christian and what people would think if I went down there to get it right. When I decided to make that decision I didn't care what anyone thought. I wanted to know for sure and not worry. I didn't care if the preacher, sunday school teachers, or anybody else didn't like it. I had decided to follow Jesus. Well I'm gonna go because it's late.

Praise God for what He has given all of us.
