    Default Am I second?

    I am just realizing that I am second. I'll tell you, my life is changing before my eyes. I have really turned my life around in the last year. I gave myself to Christ about a year ago and obviously I had some troubles with keeping the faith since then but I never gave up and I continue to fight the evil temptations but I never give up and I continue to strive to live by Gods will. But lately, I am just in awe how God is working in me. I got to go to a Mens Conference here in Japan to see Mark Cahill speak the other week (Author of One Heartbeat Away & One Thing You Can't Do In Heaven) and my life is now changing even more. I used to be afraid to share my faith and what all the Lord has done for me in the past year but now I am not anymore. The lord took my dirty mouth away, the way I think, and certainly the way I act. So many things are changing in my life and I love it. It has made me a better husband, a better father, and a better follower of Christ. Just thought I would share...but one thing is for sure, I am IN DEED second!

    Steve (Buckee), if your reading, I would love to talk to you. Your one of the many influences I have had over the last year.

    Its an ever growing process. I think we grow until we die. God's favor is a wonderful thing too!

    Glad your spirital walk is headed the right direction.

    Wow, great witness! I am very happy for you. Oh, and about that struggle to overcome your sinful nature-welcome to the fight that will last your whole life long. I am so right there with you, as are all of us that are aware we are in the fight!

    OH WOW ..Mike, you just made my day...no..my week...no my year.
    All I can say Mike, is I love you man, and Praise the Lord.
    I remember when I finally, actually, seriously asked Jesus to come into my heart. I felt like I was walking 2 feet off the ground for a couple of weeks, like a big heavy backpack had been lifted off my shoulders, and a dark vale taken off my eyes.
    My friend and my new brother, May the Lord bless you and keep you until that day.

    The Lord blesses me everyday Steve. I slip up every now and then but I get right back on track. I actually feel like going out an witnessing to others just like I was witnessed too. It is a good feeling and like you, I feel like 100 pounds have been lifted off of my shoulders. It feels great.

    Mike that's awesome! To God be given the glory . Definitely reminds me of the verse where John says "I must decrease so he can increase".

    I am really glad you accepted our father and lord Jesus Christ into your life. It's amazing what he can do for you when you are putting him #1 in your life. He is the god of all gods and the ruler of this great nation.

    I have got a new vision of this place, I know all of you guys are great and have good heads on your shoulders but I didn't know we had a big group of hunters who loved the lord and savior Jesus Christ as much as I did.

    This is awesome! Thanks for sharing your story!
