I am a Christian.

I have done some stupid things in my life. I have sailed this body to the brink of depravity, and I have been low. In the dark depths of depression and self-destruction and loathing and sin and hatred and evil.

There are times I should have died, and there are friends of mine who have probably already died, but I survived by the grace of God. And I am on the other side now.

My relationship with Jesus is a light in the darkness. In fact, I can look through those years and I see a pattern of protection and direction, even when I was hell-bent on doing my own thing.

I have been amazingly blessed, and I am thrilled to talk about this with anybody who is curious.

I mentioned this here, because I didn’t want somebody to see this link I am about to post and think “Woah, where did that come from.”

I have been thinking a lot about my job lately, and my wife sent me this link, which I just now finally got around to reading:

How Can I Know What God Wants Me To Do?

I am 100% committed to doing what God wants me to do. I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that he has a will for my life, and a will for me right now.

I’m getting impatient waiting for direction. That’s a confession, and I’m working on patience, because I know that God’s timing is perfect.

But maybe the reason it’s taken so long is that God wanted me to read this article and be inspired to post a bit about God’s saving grace in my life here on the blog.

If you have a hole in your chest that remains empty, mocking your attempts at filling it with things that the world offers, then that may be God’s way of saying “Hello.”

Feel free to contact me if you want to talk more.
