Another Blog?

So what is this?  Is this just another blog?  A spot to read about someone who is venting, letting off some steam, talking about life's heartaches and failures?  I hope not.  My goal here is to write of things that God is speaking to me, to write of things that interest me, to encourage others to pursue a relationship with God and to become a part of the greatest force on earth: The Church.

Let me tell you a little bit about me.  I've grown up in the church, I've heard it all, I've been in the midst of it all but as I've grown to who I am now, I've never had such a passion to see lives changed.  God has done amazing things for me and my family.  I've gone from a a villain to saved.  My wife and I went from barren to blessed with two amazing boys.  I've gone from jobless to blessed with an amazing job, and there is no doubt in my mind, that God closed one door so that He could open another door.  I've seen lives wasted and I've seen lives changed.  I've experienced a lot but no experience can compare to a life lived for the glory of God.

My wife and I serve as Youth Pastors and Worship Leaders at our church in Jacksonville, FL, The Bridge Church.  We desire to see lives changed, to see young and old enter into worship, and to see the church grow into its calling.

I don't know if anyone will read this, some may and many may not, but I hope to encourage those who do.  I hope that you will see that God has called you to do great things.  I hope that you will be able to see past your limitations and you will understand that God is limitless and His desire is that you succeed in all you put your hand to.

So with that, I bid you farewell for the day.
