Old Posts

I realize this blog is public and some of the posts I have shared when I was younger appear embarrassing or possibly even harmful to my reputation. Maybe even crazy looking or desperate at times! That is fine. Those who desire to judge may judge but even though that is the case, I will not delete those older posts. You may see my heart at times but God sees it too. There are some posts which I look at now and doubt whether the theology was correct or not. Even still, I will not delete those posts either. All was written with a desire to tell the truth and for that reason, nothing will be taken down. It is good to be able to go back and see the things that were once written.

Nearly A Decade Later

WOW!

It's been awhile would be an understatement. It's been almost a decade since my last post! To be honest, I forgot this blog even existed. It has been enlightening to read through the posts I once made.

Rather than attempt to try to go over all that has happened in the last decade of my life, I'd rather simply just continue making posts. The content of my posts though may be a little different considering that I am no longer a seventeen year old kid anymore.

Actually, maybe it wouldn't be so bad to mention a couple of things. I'm twenty five now. The woman in my arms from the post on September 11th of 2007 eventually became my wife on April 10th, 2008. In fact, we're still married as of the writing of this post. The Lord gave us two children: Leah (age 6) and Noah (age 3).

June 15th, 2012 - Our Family

 Although we are still legally married, a divorce has been pending as of May 16th, 2014 sadly.

This is not my choice nor do I desire it. I believe divorce is never justifiable and marriage is till death do you part. It is very disheartening to even have to write what I just wrote because of the great love I had and have for that woman. It is very saddening to me.

In 2010 I started to work professionally as a Character Animator. Some of the work I did is very well known including animation for the movie Thor (among others)

and Nickelodeon's animated t.v. series Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomness. The animation industry though is not the most conducive to having a family. It required a lot of relocating and work was not very consistent.

Needless to say, I am afraid it would be a very accurate description to say that over the years the cares and riches and pleasures of this life have choked the word of God in my life that it is even quite possible I write this as an eternally damned man should I die.

Rereading the posts on this blog remind me of how my life once was, of a time when it seems nothing else mattered to me but the Lord. In those days, I would have given up everything for the Lord yet these days what cares do I have and what I withhold from Him as if I could!

It is true,

"Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me"

And how many gods we do have including wives, children, money, and homes.

To be carefree once again in my soul! To do the words of the Lord when He said not to take thought for tomorrow!

It is one thing to say we love the Lord above everything else but He knows if that is true and I'm afraid that if He put us to the test by stripping it all from us, we might just fail the test.

Nonetheless, I am back and this is just a post to share some thoughts as of late and give a very brief update.

As this is a journal of sorts, there may be new kind of posts that reflect new ambitions of mine. What I mean by this is that I believe the Lord wants me to do certain things in this present world as much as lies in me therefore some of my future posts may be reflections on that. I will explain more later when it is not so late but it is good to be back and have an avenue to write my thoughts and experiences down once again.

If this post was a little messy or this blog becomes that, bear with it please. If anyone cannot stand disorder, it is I!

Thanks for reading.
