Hey everyone! just wanted to stop in and introduce myself...
I am 29 years old and from a small town in Texas, I have 2 little girls and a beautiful wife of 9 years. I am currently serving in the Texas Army National Guard, where I also work full time as a technician. I help teach our adult Bible study class at Church and I am just looking for a way to help strenghten my faith with fellow Christians outside my "comfort zone"
I feel that I am going through a season of testing, where God is really showing me where my foundation of faith is not as solid as it needs to be to. I have a strong desire to follow and know God, but it seems that I constantly get side tracked with desires of the flesh. I continously shift my focus and mind from God to something materialistic and worldy....after prayer and study about this, I realized my foundation is built on sand and I have to strip myself down to the bare essentials and focus on putting God first in both my heart and mind. This is going to be a tough test, because I am of the world and therefore weak...but I put all my trust in God, and I know my life will be far better off when I accomplish this and truly began seeking God and having a mind more like Christ.
Sorry for the long intro, just something that God has really put on my heart, and leading me here. I can't wait to get to know the wonderful people on this board.
