What up with the blog?

And so it begins.
I am a Christian and Christians are called to be witnesses and live out the gospel; be saints. What do I mean by saint? That's for the next post. But here's the the purpose of my blog: to share with you my journey living out what He's called me to. 

This past couple of weeks I was in Michigan attending a University Christian Outreach (UCO) retreat called Campus Outreach Academy (COA) which got me to thinking of what's going on in my life. 

See I forgot who I was living for, my ultimate end goal and why I was put in this earth. I thought God was pretty much done prepping me for life and that it was my turn to rock out. I thought I'm living a pretty decent Christian life and that since I'm part of UCO already, I'm good to go. Could I have been more wrong. God knocked some sense into me and called me out. 

From some very inspiring time spent with amazing people I can only call my brothers and sisters, I learned that my Christian journey is never over until God calls me home. Also that relying, trusting, giving it up to Him is better than selfishly trying to go at it alone. God provides - one of the resounding messages of COA - we just have to let Him. 

Life gets too busy sometimes and I tend to forget or lose focus of things that matter so I've decided to put up my reflections and thoughts in writing.  Hopefully my sharings with you in this blog can help me and you remember the good and right of life. I hope to inspire you with things I encounter day to day, and what goes on around the world (current events - cause we all miss some things).
