Power with Purpose!

2008 ended for me on a positive note. God brought me through some difficult times and allowed to learn and see things that give me hope for the future. Here is a quick entry that describes that direction.

It all started in a single moment of intense frustration in which I cried out to God, "Lord, deliver me from [this], or set me free to be destroyed!"

Please understand that I knew the gravity of that request. I had come to the point where I needed God to be real in my life otherwise I could not go on.

Yes, it was just that simple.

God has never failed me and this time was no exception. 2008 was preached as "The Year of New Beginnings," but what you don't hear is that the number 9 represents bringing an end, a conclusion, or a judgment.

Nevertheless, that is exactly what God has led me to.

In 2009, I will be leaving behind some old dreams, old sins, and old expectations. I leave them behind because I see them for what they are - the cart before the horse, the deceitfulness of satan and the world, and the realization that not everyone who calls themselves Christian has the desire to be like Christ.

In 2009 I am resolved to shore up the spiritual foundations in my life. Hence, this website. Here you can follow along as my friends and I embark on a quest for real discipleship and authentic community based on the Word of God.

I am excited about where God is leading and hope that you are tremendously blessed this year!
