MI Mundooooo

Umm... Never thought I would start a Blog! Although my career of choice is communication writing in a public forum was not a task I thought I would embrace, until I realized that words are powerful. Whether those words are spoken or written. The ability to express thoughts in a tangible medium is interesting and purposeful. Hence my blogging journey begins…

I would like to dedicate my first blog to a topic widely known but understood by few…Knowing God! This wonderful being became part of my life since I was in my mother’s womb, well if we get technical since the begging of time. I am grateful I was born into a Christian home but never the less I was not excluded from hurt and pain throughout my childhood. I can recall at the age of 15 finding out what all the “Fuss” was about. This almighty and to some illusive being because as real as the nose on my face. I literally had an encounter with him one Sunday morning. I know it sounds surreal! I realized that day that I was no longer going to be the same. It was as if I had been injected with a substance that could never be extracted from my body again. Almost as if you glue two pieces of paper together, let the glue dry then try to separate the papers again. He was part of me and I was part of him.

My eyes were open to a world that was comprised of wonder and expectancy. I began to dream dreams and I started feeling as if I was invincible. No one could damper my honey moon bliss. I was in LOVE! I felt peace and joy in my life. Small tedious things took the back seat and I was HAPPY!

Almost 9 years have passed since that encounter and what can I say… I am far from happy I am BLESSED! There have been ups and downs but God has never left me. I been through moments where I have felt complete confusion and disarray but then realized my view and focus were just slightly shifted. The picture never changed. God was always there. My vision was clouded by my own notions of the truth. As humans we can easily fall victims of ourselves. The intense thing was that every time I called he would answer. Almost as if he was just waiting for me to call on HIM!

To the atheist I say,”just give him a chance to prove himself to you.” To the agnostic I say, “If you seek you will find,” and to the believer I say, “Make sure you are truly connected to the source of life which is Christ Jesus!

P.S It is sort of funny to think that people I don’t know will find out a bit of how my mind works through these blogs.

  1. The bible says that before we were in our mother's womb he knew us and had a purpose for our lives. I am happy to hear that you have stated this blog and are furfilling your God given call. The bible also says that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. There is no doubt in my mind that this blog will minister to many through the written word and will lead multitudes to Christ. I majored in English and know the power of words.

    Your Brother in Christ,
