Hello, I'm LB. If we were meeting for the first time, I would probably comment on your name or where you were from. So allow me to say that you have a lovely name and where you're from must be amazing because, after all, that's where YOU'RE from, isn't it? ;)
If you read my profile, it can tell you a thing or two about what I like to do, the movies I watch and the music I listen to. But those things don't define me any more than your hometown defines you. You see, my first "definition," if you will, came long before I was born; before I was even a twinkle in my momma's eye. My first definition was set down before the beginning of time by the Creator of time. God, my heavenly Father, knew long before I was conceived who I would be today. He knew what I would look like, that I would be the youngest of four children and the dreams and desires I would have.
God also knew that, at seven years old, I would make the best decision ever: To accept His awesome gift of grace, the sacrifice of His one and only Son, Jesus. This was a sacrifice made out of love to a world so lost without it. God knew that, because of the sin of mankind - the bad things we do, say and think - we could never spend eternity with Him. He also knew that the consequence of that sin and its only payment was death (Romans 6:23). But because He loved us so very much, God sent His Son, Jesus, to live a perfect life on this earth and to die a painful death and to raise from the dead three days later. This sacrifice of Jesus paid the price for my sin and all I had to do was trust that it was enough (John 3:16). And I did that at seven years old. And that is when my Journey began and when I acquired the truest and best definition: Child of the one true King.
So, this Journey I keep mentioning is the story of me walking step-by-step with my Creator. There are days when I'm out-of-step, or eve standing completely still. But there are also days when I feel so free of this world and so in love with my Creator that I no longer walk, but I fly. It is my desire to share this journey with you, so that you may be able to find some pieces of encouragement and even entertainment as you read. I will not promise that all things will be serious all the time because that would be completely unnatural for me. But I can promise that you will never want for laughs or, at the very least, a smile or two.
I welcome you to pull up a chair, our cup of coffee in hand, and let's share our Journeys together.
Hi LB! That's a cool name, especially if you add the letter "M" to it so it becomes MLB, Here in parts unknown, my hometown, Major League Basebal is famous! I like hitting birds with my bat. Is a bat a bird? Can you really hit a bat with a bat? I'm going to comment on my own name now, I'm Kiryu! Why Kiryu? It sounds like kill you, or you can rearrange the letters to form a my real name, but that's no fun. My name also means Machine Dragon in Japanese! My name fought Godzilla once, they even made a movie from it, Godzilla against Mecha Godzilla, you should see it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Yuri, for your comments on my name! MLB is a big thing where I'm from, too. I actually have a friend named Kiryu, how's that for random? As to your questions about bats and birds, I can't say that I know. Lemme know if you ever figure it out ;)
