We have A LOT to catch up on..







So It would be difficult to explain to you my whole life from birth thus far.
Mainly because i don't remember it for the most part.

I believe In a God and I believe Jesus was the the son of God and he died to justify my sin so that i may go to heaven someday.


Growing up I had a lot of Christian influences from both of my parents and both of my brothers. My whole life I have always had it impressed upon me that God was always there and he answers prayers and you can talk to him whenever you want and also that he made everything.
When I started to grow older I made the connection that God is just in church and I can just live my life and be fine if I don’t get into too much trouble. For a long time did just that and set aside God as a part of my life like a sport or an activity. Around 7th and 8th grade I greatly deepened my faith by being more than just a good kid. I actually know why I had all these rules and that I really wasn’t about what you cant do at all.
God showed me through reading the Bible and prayer that I need to be a shining light and spread Gods love and become a witness to others. Since then and before then life has most defiantly had struggles and tough times with temptations that would draw me away from God. With certain things that might have pulled me away from closeness with him the temptation was taken away and I wasn’t even faced with the decision. I am continuing daily growing closer with God and removing myself from situations where I might be tempted to do things w
here I would not be glorifying God.
I cant stress enough how important it has been in learning that if i needed help in anything that God
would be there to comfort me and that if I wanted help i had to ask him for it.All the things in my life that I tend to cling to will fail me sooner or later, all these things the world will go away but the one thing that will always be constant is Jesus.

Some major events that have happened recently...

Pictures of me and my adventures:


It is well with my soul

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
