Welcome!!

Well, good evening!!  Welcome to "a Closer Walk..." 

I hope to be an encouragement by posting, as situations and circumstances come, about the goodness, grace, mercy and the chastening and scolding of a loving Savior and Father!   I have found (in the midst of MY current storm), that God is faithful and merciful and full of grace for my moment, and for yours.  If you don't know Him personally and intimately, get to.  There truly is NO other relationship you may enter, where the other person is FOR you in such a dynamic way as the Living God.  

My thinking is, and my aim is, to "take off the mask", so to speak...let you see that believers (old, young, seasoned, brand new, etc) are at various levels of their walk with God, and that while I don't pretend to know it all, or have all the answers, I know this...I am human.  We are human.  That's not an excuse or an explanation, or a reason.   I am a mess some times, and its ok to be a mess, so long as I (or you) don't begin to "live" in out mess.   My head gets lost somewhere, and I get lost in the thoughts that ramble on in there, and alas...

I become forgetful.  We become forgetful.  Its a battle.  Everyday, we fight.  Everyday, I try to remember and live this one thought..."Its all about HIM, so what can I do today that will being Him glory?"  Is it always easy?  It is always pretty and proper, and without some dirt and some tears?  No, but the power of God is and will continue to change me and us.  I want to press toward the mark.  Learn and live my identity, which is in Christ Jesus.  I want to cooperate and work with God, I want to have experiences with God. 

and, at the end of this journey we call life, I want to hear this..."Well done, my good and faithful servant;...now enter into the joy of your Master"
