Introductions

I have never really desired to ever start a blog. Mainly because I don't really know what to blog about. My spiritual formation class requires us to have a blog and update it. This blog will focus on my reflections in my spiritual walk through the Christian life and my journey as a child of God. I hope some posts may lead to personal thoughts that really get at what I am dealing with in my own life but others may be distant and seem shallow. Writing this blog could be difficult from me because I will have to make a decision between what to keep to myself and what to share with the world. Hopefully this blog will lead to thoughts and questions that will help those who read this with their own spiritual journey.

This might be an important time to tell you a little big more about myself. I have known about God and Christianity my whole life. Since my family and I went to church at Whitneyville Bible Church and I took part in Awana's all the way till now where I am a senior at Kuyper College studying Accounting. I remember as a child praying and reading scripture with my grandma and even asking my best friend if he believed in God. Soon I started going to Peace Reformed church around my 6th grade year of school. Jr. high and high school really changed my outlook on Christ and developed my spiritual walk. I was actively involved in Peace Youth Group and learned a lot from my youth pastor, Nate Archer. Eventually I went to college at Ferris State and got involed in His House and had an amazing experience there. I met a lot of new people and really got to see the Christian faith acted out daily. I switched my major only after my first year and decided to do accounting through Kuyper College. I was looking for a school with a good bible degree because I knew that eventually I would be doing something in ministry and wanted a solid background to fall back on. Now I'm a senior and writing this blog on this long spiritual journey I have gone down and continue to walk.

The toughest thing about writing this blog will be actually remembering and organizing my thoughts. Sometimes I have a lot of ideas but don't write them down because I figure no one will care or I just forget to include them. I think personal reflection has been a strength of mine but interpreting my thoughts to someone else has always been a struggle. So if something I write about isn't very clear or well thought out, it is probably just not clear to you but it is to me. These future blog posts may be sort of difficult but I hope that  my readers get something out of the things I say.
