Confession #3: Unavailability

Even though I learned the famous words of the prophet Isaiah as a youth in church “Here am I, Lord. Send me,” my actions have largely been telling the Lord a different statement. If a needs scene is an assignment given, I have missed most of life‘s assignments and have failed courses upon courses of divine curriculum. I don’t wanna live a life that ignores these needs and assignments anymore.Confessions and Convictions:Through expressing my sincerest struggles wrestling with self, sin and the Savior, I seek to offer hope and encouragement through pointing people to the only resolve we have in this life: Jesus. I seek to share the lessons that I have learned through mistakes that I have made and poor thinking patterns I have often embraced. In the aftermath of so much destruction, I open my Bible and I begin to set my convictions based on His way rather than my way concerning what is that good and honest path: the straight and narrow (and often lonely) road that leads to greater faith and true fulfillment. The path of self denial, self discipline, personal restriction, a submission to the Father… for lack of a better metaphor, the cross.
