Alright well this is my first blog...EVER! And honestly i'm not real sure how i feel about this. I always thought this was retarded and made fun of people that did! and now look at me....WOW.
About 3 or 4 weeks ago, I'm not sure, I got to go to Vegas with some friends to watch the Liddell/Silva fight. I've been to Vegas a lot of times and every time I've been a had great time, but this was probably the best trip I've ever had. Not because of the fight, which was amazing by the way, but honestly it was because of the group of guys I went with.
I haven't been around these guys in a couple of years and I've kind of forgotten what it was to be around legit(that's right i said it) guys that are driven and passionate and truly care about people. Its not fake or a front its truly an overflow of the life they have and the life they experience in Jesus.
We were hanging out at this bar one night at we just started talking about how can we relay or present, for lack of better words, the life that God has given us to other people. How can we reach out and help hurting people. Sooo we came up with this blog! Noooo the blog is not the genius idea to affect people. It is more of a push in the back. We are just going to keep account of our wins and failures of our daily life, or i am anyways.
The purpose for me is to step up and get out of my comfort level and to stretch and grow myself in my life. Nothing will happen, no growth, no knowledge will happen if i don't try. I don't want to live my life unto myself, there is no fulfillment in that and that's not what God has intended for us. I don't want to change how people think or act or whatever, unless it is to change how they view God, or how they think God views them. I just want people to know how much He loves them and life that they can have in Him. Rom. 8:38 says nothing can separate you from Gods love. 1 John 4:8 says God is love.
I read this scripture the other day and it pretty much slapped me in the face. Luke 11:28 the NLT(new living translation) says " But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice"... 1 John 4:12 "... but if we love each other, God lives in us, and His love is brought to full expression in us"... You put the 2 together!

Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention yesterday that I will be in Tulsa February 21-24. Don't miss seeing me.
Seriously, though, great blog. Thanks for blogging your journey... it won't be that lame, really.
Alright, I feel like the ref stepped into the ring and the announcer proclaimed....Let's get ready to rummmble!
I think passion is contagious. We all need to be fervent about growing our relationships, growing in authenticity, and really testing the limits of what we believe.
Looking forward to reading and hearing about your struggles, and triumphs. Here is to 1 year of getting it done!
