Jesus told me to blog..say what?!?!

After a lot of time in prayer, talking it over with my life group, and listening to sermon after sermon I have heard from the big man above . . .

Jesus has instructed me to blog. . . So here I am returning to my blog from February to bring you more shenanigans that you can hopefully relate to . . .

How did this come about??  Well, recently at my church (questcommunity.com) we started a series about being the impact.  I have always had this feeling that I am suppose to somehow share my testimony, struggles, and daily encounters with God but I suffer from word salad-itis (inflammation of brain that results in my words being scrambled and thrown together similar to a salad)..  Therefore, Jesus knew that behind a keyboard I could do this and it would be raw, fresh, from the heart (he digs that kinda stuff)... So here is kinda an intro to this recent adventure and update on myself since my one and only blog effort of February.

Clayton King, a guest pastor, spoke to Questers and really ignited this idea of becoming a struggling Christian blogger.  As I sat through service it was like my heart kept deciphering through his message and saying "yes this means blog."  After speaking to my life group and reflecting on all the truth they have spoken to me I heard words such as: authentic, funny, honest, real, joy, powerful, motivating, strong...the kind of impact words you wanna hear.  My goal in these blogs to come is not to rant on about my life but to rant on about my life in hopes that you gain something from my experiences, struggles, and leaps of faith.  I'd love to know if there is anything in particular I can help with or if something I say sparks something in you.. I'd love to know my blog efforts are reaching at least one heart!
