Passing The Past

It is 4am on Friday morning, and all is fairly quiet except for the occasional snore from the dog. Well, the ceiling fan is pretty loud but it is better than extreme silence.

I woke up hot and could not go back to sleep, hence my first post in a while. What can I say other than n a lot has happened in the last year and I have been busy living life.

Maybe I failed to mention this, but I live in Oklahoma now where the wind comes sweeping down the plains …. haha. It is so crazy that I portrayed Curly in the production of Oklahoma in high school, and now I am here.

I think I have grown a lot since I have been here as a Jesus Follower and a husband to my awesome wife Crystal. Life is different here, but it is still just life.

I went on a men’s retreat with a Baptist Church some time ago, and I learned that I was still haunted by and living in the past; I cried and prayed and cried and prayed some more. It was simply a feat I could not conquer on my own, but Jesus handled it once and for all.

Well essentially Jesus said if something overcomes or overwhelms you bring it to me and I will get you through. So, when my past mistakes want to haunt me I take it to Jesus because I simply cannot do it on my own.

Thank you Jesus for always being there for me concerning the bad decisions I have made, the friends I have hurt, the family I have disappointed, and the people I have let down because I did not come to you sooner; please forgive me, and I pray everyone I let down will forgive me as well. Amen.

I guess it is time to get some sleep now. I hope you enjoyed reading this and hopefully got a little something out of it.

May God bless!

Chris
