When I was quite young, between the ages of 3 and 5 or so, I wanted to grow up to be a sled dog, and I was convinced that it was going to happen. Needless to say, I was rather devastated when I realized this dream would never become a reality. A year or so ago, however, I heard a man give an analogy on how a person's relationship with God can be compared to that of a sled dog and his master. It boiled down to this: When you are doing what you are designed to do, your Master can guide you with a whisper. Life changing words - although I still am not capable of "growing up to be a sled dog," my relationship with Christ can emulate that of a sled dog and his master.
The purpose of this blog is to document my growth in God, and the adventures that I'm bound to have along the way. I meant to start this on my birthday - kind of like a birthday present, and challenge, to myself. Clearly, that didn't happen, but I figured New Year's Day worked just as well. Bear with me, because I've never done something like this before. So hang in there, and I'm sure we'll both make it out all right. I promise to keep smiling if you do.
Oh, and by the way, it snowed today! What a great way to start off the new year.
Magic.
