I was 8 years old when the Holy Spirit drew me to Christ, and I was made a new creation in Christ Jesus. For the next 40 years I followed Christ at varying distances, but always wanting to know him more and praying that he would draw me closer. At the same time, I also saw myself as already having “arrived” when I compared myself to those around me, especially after pastoring a full gospel gathering for 3 years in the mid-2000s. 

However, in the last year, the Spirit caused my path to cross with someone involved in true discipleship, and I was invited to Journey with this individual and a very small group of others, all of us from different backgrounds, but needing the same deeper and stronger relationship with Christ. I’ve been on the journey now for 5 months, and I must admit that the initial revelations for me have been some ugly truths about myself that I have had to change with the Lord’s help. 

I am also experiencing the depths of the scripture that I was unable to see before and it’s truly changing my life, slowly bringing it more in line with what He wants for me and from me, and moving me slowly away from my selfish pursuits. Thank you, Jesus, for answering my prayers and drawing me into a closer and deeper relationship with You!
