“Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.” -Psalm 51:11-15
Now that I am back from vacation I have decided to start a new series of posts coming up over this next little bit here on my blog. These posts will be a slight departure from the heavy theological ruminations which have typically graced your screen and will instead offer a deeper look at me as a person and as to how God has formed me throughout the 23 years of my life so far. I hope during this time to present to all of you a down to earth account of the sins that have entangled my life and the things which God has done through them to get me to where I am today. As well I want for this to serve as a way of breaking through the academically-inclined granite exterior I have been presenting these past several months and open up the real me to a global audience for inspection. All in all I look forward to sharing myself with all of you and pray that my testimony of salvation and continued sanctification will be an influence and dare I say inspiration to some of you who may be dealing with the same issues right now.
Also, I wanted to share with you guys an amazing song which I first heard a few weeks ago at my daughter’s ballet recital. It is by Saving Jane and is entitled “You Say.” Enjoy!
