My story with God
My personal relationship with Jesus Christ is relatively recent, at least when compared with decades of religious education and church attendance. I have (at times) kept a spiritual journal, and when I look back on older entries I wonder at how shallow my view of God was. However today, thanks to certain experiences and insights shared by others, I feel more love and awe for God than ever before. And yet my circumstances in life have grown far more challenging and I do not see as much fruit or peace on a daily basis as at some other times in my life.

This is why I chose the name "amateur" when I joined. I feel that I am just stumbling around.

    Well that isn't my type of weather... Im a cry baby in anything under 50. I have been to NYC and New Jersey once. From what I encountered, the weather, culture, people are different from the South East. I thought that since I was from Atlanta, I could handel it... WRONG! haha But, I think I would enjoy it in the summer.
    When I was in car sales, I would put my praise and worship music on and sing it like the people next to me at the light were not looking, then I would get to work and before I walked in prayed, I would go to my office and read some from my bible before and after the meeting. You can use your time at work to re-bust you aswell. Does your wife have an account with Allaboutgod.net? If so, I'd like to get to know her too. May you both be STRONG in the Lord! God bless you both.

    Thank you very much! Blessing to you and yours as well. Yes, Jesus definatly took me from Darkness to Light in a moment of love. His love is wht turned me towards him and made my heart like new. I am actually, writting a book about it. I really want people to see and read about all the blessings and professies that have come to life on my walk with him. I am writting it in a non believers point of view and then showing my spirit awaken to the Lord.
    Ahhh south New Jersey. I am sure it is beautiful up there. I actually lived on a farm and Ranch for a couple of years and loved it! Yeah, sending me a comment would probably be better about the List. Christians and music is a very contriversial topic in my oppinion. But if you are open to the critisism go right ahead. I'll definatly read it! I haven't been with allaboutgod.net that long myself, but I just jumped right in. Have a great day and it is always nice to hear from you friend.
    In Christ,
    Brooke :)

    Your son will definatly be in my prayers. I suggest he hang on to that job the best he can. The economy isnt good at all. If it looks like he might loose his job, he should start quietly putting resumes in at other places. Its always smart to be prepared, just in case. Who knows, maybe God is opening a door for him somewhere else. Its always hard to hear that your child, no matter how old is struggling. Thank you for the warm wishes on my book. I really want it to stike a cord with non believers and people in situations with no hope. Referring to your list, I have heard many of those songs or artist. I just pay attention to the words and make sure my spirit agrees with the message. I love music and love all kinds of styles. I sing, and am also writting worship songs. ( currently stuck on compleatling all of them) I am bad with endings..lol But all in good time. Im not one of those people who say " oh you have to make it sound like this, or that for it to be acceptable" As long as the words are correct in Gods eyes, and the song is sincere, I see nothing wrong with it. So how many kids do you and your wife have? We are expecting our first and are very excited. Any suggestions?
