The beginning at the end - part 1

I've often thought about creating an anonymous blog.  I guess now it doesn't have to be anonymous.

I've been laying in bed for 6 hours without sleeping and finally decided to give up and try something different.  So if you stumble across any typos or spelling errors, I'll blame it on the lack of sleep!  (I've already double checked how to spell "whose" and "beginning."  Perhaps this isn't the best time to type something out...)

I don't know how to play the role I've been given.  Nobody ever gave me a script.  In fact, this is a completely different movie than I signed up for.  The one I've been preparing for just got trainwrecked. 

Which begs the question, whose life is it anyway?

The answer:  "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me."  (Galatians 2:20)  I gave my life to Christ a long time ago, so if this is the life he gives back to me, so be it. 

Expect plenty of bloopers and awkward moments if you're watching, though.  I've never been great at improv.

  2. We're praying for you guys.
    One thing I do know through personal experience as well as observation, is that God is a master at taking train-wrecks and creating something truly beautiful out of it in a way only He can do.
    Thanks for your courage to share your journey through this dark period in your life. I pray God's grace is showcased through you as He brings healing and restoration. You Guys are loved.

    Sincerely,
    Darin

  4. So take these words
    And sing out loud
    Can everyone be forgiven now
    Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

    I wish everyone was loved tonight
    And somehow stop this endless fight
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    So take these words
    And sing out loud
    Cuz everyone is forgiven now
    Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
    Oh tonight's the night the world begins again

    (Matt Brouwer - "Better Days")
