My First Post

I've been a blogger since December 26, 2003, thats almost 5 years. It hasn't been on this blogging website and I mostly write about my own life in general. The things I do, what I've been going through, the hard times, the good times, you know everything that you would write in a personal diary except I do it on the internet for others to read.

At the age of 4 my parents put me in Catholic School where I spent 9 years of my life, K-8th grade. I must say it was a wonderful experience and I learned a lot in the years I was there and I met a lot of amazing people and inspirations. But I always had trouble in my religion classes, I still can't figure out why I always had so much trouble. It wasn't until recently that I realized that I don't think I had a very strong connection with the Lord and I didn't understand it. The reason I feel like this is because recently I have had that strong connection with the Lord.

The month of December was a rough month for my friend Justin and I. We both went through separate breakups that really hurt us and we found each other for help. I remember being in Justin's truck just driving and he asked me, "will you come to church with me on Sunday?" He said he felt like he needed to start going more and reconnect with the Lord. So on December 30th 2007, Justin and I went to Cornerstone Church in Anaheim. He had gone as a junior high kid when they were located in Fullerton. I still remember that day as if it just happened, the feelings, the connection, the want and need to return. We decided to come to Tuesday Night Bible Study also.

Its only been about 4 months since I've been going but I have felt a huge turn around in my life. In the things I do, in my attitude, in my maturity. I never felt this want to go to church, to go to bible study, to learn more about the Lord, to share with others. I know my faith is getting deeper and stronger.

Recently I put myself on a year Bible Reading Plan and I am trying my hardest to stick to it. With my busy life its really hard but I'm trying really hard to put my faith as my #1 priority. I want to use this blog to talk about my journey and my walk with the Lord. To write about the things I learn, the things I do, and the things I read. Hopefully this blog will be as up to date as the one that I started writing in about 5 years ago.
