A New Year
I attempted blogging a few months ago with efforts of jounaling everyday and somehow my blog got lost in space and I was no longer able to access my old "thoughts". With a New Year there is always new resolutions. I am not resoluted-is that a word?- that I will blog everyday, I am resoluting that I will share with you, throughout the year, how He is working in my life and how I am learning to surrender the wants and desires that keep me from allowing me to know Christ wholely and essentially allowing you to experience the freedom of knowing Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Hence the title of my blog, Surrender. I could follow the Chinese tradition and call this the year of the Ox-but what does that really mean aside from the "good luck" and fortune I will receive. The only "luck" that exists is the blessings we receive that are not yet made aware that they are of God. Hence I will create a tradition in this vary moment to consider 2009 the year of Surrendering. For I can only imagine that when surrendering exists we are then able to receive more intimacy with Him. That is what I want. That is what I want for you. Come take this journey with me, I think I can be a lot of fun to listen to:)

Hi, Susan it's Sam.
ReplyDeleteNow, I've that I've verified that I can post... I can comment. I feel like people treat "Luck" and "Karma" the same---- they are both amorphous non-personal entities that either mete out or are manifestations of the good and bad in the world. This is opposed to the Christian view that believes in an Omnicient, Omnipresent God who has Sovereignty over all.
You and I have different paths to knowing Christ. We have to love the Lord our God with all our Heart, Soul, and Mind.. however...My major focus lately has been knowing Him with my head. I need to up my witnessing and in order to do so, I must be able to refute arguments. Seriously, my faith grows not for reasons why Christianity is true, rather I get more from refuting arguments AGAINST it.
