the road ahead


it has been to long since i last wrote. i have missed journaling and thinking. as may have noticed i am to lazy to capitalize any letters. sorry if that bugs you. but i love it! well in five great days i will be getting married to the woman of my dreams. kristen marie schnoor. i had never thought that i would be in place i am at the start of high school or even college, but here i am. 22 and on the verge of marriage, full time youth pastor living in ozark, alabama. lol it makes me laugh when i think about how good god has been to me and kristen. he has brought us through some much to get to this milestone in our lives. and yet some people dont see that happiness and try to make our day about them. sorry didn't mean to vent. on second thought yes i did. i am sick and tired of people being selfish and those who take joy and happiness out of everything. ahahhhhhhhh! anyway where was i. oh yes god is so awesome. so as i sit here in my house in ozark thinking about this week and the many weeks after saturday. i think, wow its really here. i can only think that the only reason God has chose to bless us so greatly is because we have been faithful to our relationship with him. God chose to save me from my sin, the sin that would kill he took and threw it upon his son, so that i could live. and because i choose to believe that simple truth and devote my life to him God is willing to open doors that no man could. i would like to share this thought. if i choose to live in a relationship with Christ i choose live like him and throw away my desires and replace them with his. if i choose to live for Christ i choose to bear his fruit and not my own. if i choose to live for the king i choose to enjoy life and see every moment as possibility. Jesus died with the weight of all sin so that we might walk in all freedom. i am about to step onto a very long road, and there is no way i would try to do that with out the weight of sin taken off my shoulders. if you are struggling to take that next step, let the one who paved the road help you. salvation from death, hell and the grave has been my greatest blessing and i hope it is yours too.
