Approaching the Next Chapter

I guess I have to face the reality that I won't be blogging in any meaningful capacity until I finally muster the courage to share with my parents about my struggles with homosexuality. Until then, I'd like to officially announce the hiatus of this blog. But don't worry, I'm working on telling them as soon as possible. I've given myself a soft dead line of this month but hopefully God's timing will become completely apparent to me and I won't blow it!

In the meantime, I appreciate all your prayers and support.
You guys are awesome!

Picking Up Old Habits

I think it's about time I get back in the habit of reading my Bible and praying daily along with blogging regularly. I'm not sure what that looks like right now but hopefully once or twice a week, at the very least. A lot of stuff has been going on and I haven't been faithful to share those stories of God's amazing love with everyone so I'm trying to work on that. It's too late to share anything meaningful tonight but just know that God can and does redeem all things for his glory.

New Years Bring New Frontiers

I'm running toward that glimmer of light flickering faintly off in the distance. You know, the one that signifies the end of a tunnel, a dark passageway for this journey I'm on that brings me from one side of this colossal mountain to the other, out of the shadows and into the radiant sunshine. The comforting rays falls down on my skin like a thick mist. Hope and joy perforate into all areas of my life as they enter my heart and circulate through the blood stream to my surrounding organs. The entire body receives them gladly, like a vitamin sent from above. This is but a glimpse of the future God has promised me. May all glory and honor be returned to the one who sits on the throne and overflows with abundant love, mercy and grace!

I have great expectation for this new year, but handle it as if it were merely a new day. Each is a gift from God and should be approached as such.
