Hey, it has been a while but i am back.
I want to first thank you all for the prayers.
God has done a great work in my heart. I know I have a long way to go. What I mean is I have to keep going in the direction im headed in. Last friday I was under conviction of the Holy Sprit. I thiught it was just the sadness for being separated from my wife and children. I left work and cried all the way to my home town. I did not know what to do I was bawling out loud in my truck while driving down the freeway. I got into town and called my pastor. I thought I was going crazy.(nervious breaksdown) But it was God as soon as I startded to talk to him the sin im my life came spiling out. I was broken God had finally got me to a point where He could mold me.
My pride over the years had made me unbarable to be around. All my life I tried to be someone I was not I wanted people to think I was successful in life. I wanted to be seen successful by the worlds standards. God showed me that night I needed him and only him to be successful by his standards. That night I saw scripture come to life in my life. "I waited patienly on the Lord He inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet on a rock, making my steps secure." Psalms 40:1-3
Psalms 18 tells us to call upon the Lord I did and I through out my pride and my cry reached him. He has rescued me from satan (who wanted to sift me out). Greater is he in me than he that is in the world.
I beleive God wanted satan to sift part of me out (pride) this trial i am in is to refine me to chip away what is not of God in my life.
AND IN THE END GOD IS GLORIFIED BY MY VICTORY IN HIM
TONIGHT I GIVE ALL GLORY TO HIM JESUS MY SAVIOR.

Blog perogative
Sorry people but my blog wants to change its mind and go in another direction. I have a new thought about which I would like some comments on.
This is an idea from C.S. Lewis (who in my opinion was one smart man) in his book Mere Chrisianity. When we start with ourself (with its desires) as the center of the world and add "morals" or "good behavior" or what ever you want to call it we have to put "ourselfs" on the back burner. Thus creating a major conflict with in our selfs.
The two outcomes of this battle is 1. You give up trying to do the right thing. 2. You do the right things and give of yourself but you are alway discontented and resentful of others. You see the world as unfair.
The cure for the battle is Christ. We need to give our natural self all of it to him. He wnats all of it so he can replace it with himself. His will will become ours. We need to die so he can live. There is not room for two people inside of you.
Jesus asked Peter, James and John to give their all. Today we need to give our all our hearts our natural selfs up to God. Dallas Willard says a true disciple is "intent on becoming Christlike and so dwelling in his faith and practice systematically and progressively rearranges his affairs to that end.
I have to look at my life and say I have not done that until recently like in the last year and I have been a Christian for thirty some years. Pray for me that I will keep on the progressive part going. Keep on keeping on is what I need to do. I see everyday that God is here and I like what I see. for the first time in my Christian life I have Joy and even (most of the times) peace that passes all understanding. I struggle with a few worried but I know God is good and faithful.
Sorry for change in topic but God is trying to get thru to me. I think all my blogs fit together and in a few I will connect the dots.
