First of many

Today I have officially started my blogging days. I feel like i have a lot to say and sometimes it seems that there is no one to listen to it. So i have decided to start blogging it, so that I can at least think that someone is reading what i have to say.

For those people who do not know me I feel that you should understand that I am a very straight forward person, I do not hold things back or hold them inside because I feel like that it is just dumb. But to say this does not mean that I do not know when to stop talking or when at times it is bad to say things. I do not seek to start arguments because to do that only causes a quarrel which in the end nether side wins because they are still dead set in there views.

So here is a little bit more about me, I am a 21 year old college student who is going into christian ministry. If you read this blog you will notice that I will be completely real and most likely tell you some of my struggles in life because i feel that one of the main problems with Christians(including myself) is that we are not very transparent. We are quick to judge someone else for their sin before ever taking a deep look into our own sin, that for some reason we do not give up to God. Sometimes we tend to take advantage of Gods Grace and continue in some sins even though God has called us out of them.

So my hope through this blog is that you can see me as a real person who struggles the same ways you do and that i am person who is no better than you. So i hope that if you read this that you will be encouraged through some of my words and maybe understand that there is other people in the world going through some of the same things that you do.

Grace and Peace

This is much better than studying.

This is a good blog. I especially like the Jim Elliot quote at the top...However, I did jot down a few grammatical mistakes that can be fixed. I'll get those in the mail.
