Who Am I?

Throughout my life I have struggled with many things. The three main sins that I have struggled with are Lust, Laziness, and Lying. The three L's. These sins had tore my life apart for years. I could feel my relationship with Christ thinning over time. I was tired and I couldn't carry on. But I finally repented and got my life back in order. As many of you may know, I gave my testimony back in January at SHIFT Students at CCV. From that point on, I was living for God. I was trying my hardest to read my Bible every night, I was doing all of my homework, and the three L's could no longer rule my life. And as God was teaching me new things, and showing me how to become a fully devoted follower I felt a strange feeling. A feeling that was new to me. That feeling was freedom. I felt so happy to be rid of the sin that I felt it impossible to conceal my happiness.

It was a freedom that I had acquired through my lack of self-consciousness. I didn't care about anything but my relationship with God.  And since I was no longer held to the standards of my peers, I was able to discover who I really am. And as the days go by I learn new things about myself. I discover joy, and compassion in my life that wasn't there before. I wasn't filled with resentment towards others, but rather acceptance. With this new freedom I had a more clear mind, and I felt it easier to read and write. I discovered passions that had been limited due to my embarrassment. I felt like I knew who I was, and God knew who I was, and that was all that mattered. I was ready to go out into the world with a more responsible attitude, faithful heart, and positive outlook on life.

I am so happy with where I am at in regards to my relationship with Christ that I felt it necessary to write this blog. God is the King of My Life. God is the Light that Motivates Me. And God is the Answer to my Problems. For all of you that are struggling with Sin, and are being held down by the enemy's razor sharp talons, please listen to me. You will never achieve happiness unless you run to God. If you allow the Holy Spirit into your life, he will heal your wounds and restore peace to your soul. You are betraying yourself when you refuse to seek the Lord. So just take the happiness, God offers it to you daily.
