One: Purpose

There is so much good in the world. God blankets me with protection, beauty, and love all the time, but I never pay any attention to it. I spend my life checking Facebook, working in the studio at school, or griping about the things I wish were different. God has given me the opportunity to see the good in the world, to see Him in the world...but more often than not, I choose to see something else.

One of the greatest hurdles in my life is spending time with God. I often see this world a place for me to live my life day by day, puttering along, without actually doing anything good, without seeing the good God does in my own and others' lives. God originally gave us this world as place to hang out with Him, and we sinned and lost that chance. There was a great divide.

But my father sent His son to bridge the gap, to take the nations pains and sins upon Himself. He gave us a chance to be with Him again, and a chance to see Him in the world.

My purpose here is to chronicle, if you will, my experiences with God's greatness. There is so much I don't see, don't reflect on, don't respond to. I want to take the opportunity God gave me to grow with Him.
