Finally...

The Rock would always tell his fans in a new town that "FINALLY THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO (fill in the city here)." Well, I've finally returned to blogging. What's been going on? What have I been up to? Short answer, a lot.
A brief synopsis: I got a girlfriend, went to East Asia, returned, started year 3 of teaching,started a small group, brother had a baby, started a men's Bible study, lost a girlfriend, and grew closer to God. The most important of those things is growing closer to God.
I was going to title this blog, "What do you do after 28 days?" However, I felt that since the Rock came back I should steal from him. What am I referencing with 28 days? It's how long it's supposed to take to break a habit. We all have our own sin and eventually on our walk with God we have to ask ourselves if we love the sin more than we love God. It's always been something that's hit home with me and last week at church we talked about how we eventually celebrate our sin.
Why would we do that? Why would or do we celebrate those things we do wrong and put them on display and celebrate? Even if you're not a Christian, what's the point?
There are things that I struggle with and I have worked hard and have been seeking God in over to overcome them. So what do we do after we have conquered one sin? We find the next in our lives to conquer and overcome. We are not perfect. We strive to be perfect, although sin is expected we should work our hardest to not sin.
Last but not least I'm going to strive to come on this more often as a tool for accountability. What do you want to see or here? I do feel that the next blog will be about coming back home and seeing things in a different light.
Until then folks, the love is there for you.
