The journey continues

Almost two years ago, I began blogging about my internal life journey as well as my outward one. It was a bit more intense at that time then it is now, mainly because time is a healer. I have stuck with the lighter side of life in recent months, honestly, because life has been loads of fun. Recently, I was at a conference called Transformed. Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort (Way of the Master) were the key speakers, and it impacted me greatly. I don't usually blog about "controversial issues" because offense is not my intention. Nevertheless, I must share this. Beginning in April of this year, a change began in me. Thanks to some dear friends in Newnan, Georgia, I had a great revelation that changed my life forever. The revelation was -- Jesus loves me. A child's song -- yes, but those three words became so much more to me. They became real not only in my mind but in my heart. That truth stirred me in April and has become the driving force of my life since then. When I finally understood that He loves me, it became motivation for life and continues to influence every area from my work to exercise to family. No, I'm not perfect. Oh, what a relief to know that nothing in me could ever hope to be. I have no doubt that I cannot attain anything resembling perfection, but I have every confidence that Christ in me can undoubtedly change my heart beyond my comprehension. The last six months have been some of the most exciting in my life and all because of Jesus' transforming power. I can't remain silent any longer. If you haven't experienced this love, I pray you seek it out like a precious jewel. It is worth every ounce of time, energy, and pain to realize it.

"Love so amazing, so divine, demands my life, my soul, my all."
