About Me


I believe you can't say you believe in Christ and live a life in contradiction to that statement-YOU NEED TO HAVE THAT PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS AND LIVE LIFE REFLECTING IT. If the world cannot see a difference between how you live and how they live the chances are slim they will see Christ and come to know Him. If you are in Christ, you are dead to sin and are no longer bound by the chains to sin. You are saved by a love relationship with the Creator, by acknowledging your sin, repenting (turning 180°) and following the Word. If you are concerned that you could never meet this lifestyle, let me encourage you and say you have to start somewhere and every new believer has started out knowing nothing but by the grace of God He comes down to your level and brings you to the life that pleases Him.
The problem in believers is remaining sin; the problem with unbelievers is reigning sin. Sin is the problem.
About Me
Trying to do some explicit soul-searching. I am Southern Baptist (SBC). Enjoy playing guitar for myself and others. Music is a part of ministry. I have been striving for a career of Biblical counseling of young adults since the summer before senior year of high school and got sidetracked. I have set a goal of enrolling in either Golden Gate Seminary or Masters College to pursue at least a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical studies and wish to be certified by the National Association of Nouthetic Counselors; but at the moment I am trying to follow God's plan for my life. I spent about 6 weeks in Casa Grande/Coolidge/Picacho, AZ to do ministry and serve the Church there. I have prayed that God would allow me to work during the summer at Youth Haven Desert Ranch (youthhaven.org) in Picacho and He has allowed me on the team recently. I am now praying that God would allow me to get hired on the team full-time after the summer. I speak with affection about my faith and my God. I am praying He would open my Biblical knowledge so that I may be able to speak with authority as Jesus did in Matthew 7:29.
Life is being flexible with what God wants to do.
