Let's Try This Again...

748 days.  That is how long it has been since I have touched this blog.  I was so excited when I started it.  I was able to give it the title I wanted:  surrendered to grace (the whole theme of what I want my ministry to be).  I was going to write all these amazing posts, calling the church out of apathy and into radical reformation.  Well almost 3 years and 6 posts later and so far I haven't made too many strides.
Perhaps one day (grace willing) i will publish such a blog.  But for now i find myself with simpler goals and a (hopefully) more resolute and humble attitude.  i greatly appreciate the roles that a blog can play.  And i find myself wanting to not miss out on what it might do for me.  I have no delusions of thousands who will wake up every morning and log on with the longing desire to see if i have made a new post.  i feel no pressure for radical effectiveness in this outlet of my life ministry.  The only pressure i feel, the only conviction i believe in, the only aspiration i have is to glorify my Sovereign Lord and humbly serve him.  And if this blog is seen only by He who has and will seen all then i pray He finds it to His pleasure as it proclaims his glory.

Heavenly Father, i pray that your glory and your magnitude would find me humbled as a desperate  sinner rescued by your grace.  i pray that my life (including this small outlet of it) would do nothing if it does not bring You glory.  I pray your blessing, that anyone who would read the simple words expressing my journey in life would see only the work of your sovereign hand and the love of Jesus Christ.  To Your Glory God.

Here's to a new adventure...
