A few years ago...
when I found myself reading the bible, one of the most perplexing things I kept reading was "behold the mystery", and it drove me nuts. In my ineptitude, I read over passages from Ephesians and Galatians that mentioned a great mystery and yet, what was this mystery? I had no idea.
Even though I had grown up in the church, I had been exposed to private christian schools and I had parents that loved God, when it really came down to it, I needed to come to a spot in my life where I could understand love on my own. The Great Mystery that Paul alludes to specifically in Ephesians was one of the first major themes of the bible that blew my mind.
I'm not perfect, and never will be; yet, I feel as though I'm learning, growing, and changing daily. Because of that, I want to open up a little bit of my life to the world wide web and whomever feels so inclined to partake into this growing trend of transparency.
The Great mystery of Christ, that he came to this world and as hebrews states, "who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." so that we might be saved from the power of sin and be in communion with a God that loves us, changed my life once, and continues to change my life more every day. But, I have also realized that I'm bound to His love. It's simply because of His great love for me, that today I stand in his grace and am able to worship him for who He is.
With that, I begin my blog.
