Who I Am
My name is A.J. Wagoner and on this day, October 4th, I was born twenty-six years ago. In light of this fact I want to share with you who I am in twenty-six words.
I'm a Christ-follower, God-lover, Holy Spirit filled man of God, who rests in being a strong, confident, loyal, trustworthy, honorable, fun, kind, lovable poet.
Post haircut AND shave…do I look good??
Anyways, I am working on more details to share about London/Ireland for January, as well as on getting my poetry book published. With that I have started a WordPress blog and will share that information with you as soon as I'm able to. I will most likely still post blogs on here, since the WordPress blog is more towards building a platform for my poetry. We will see what happens.
I also want to leave you with some truths from Dr. Neil T. Anderson's book, Victory Over the Darkness and who each member of God's family is known as to God. These traits are guaranteed to you by the Word of God simply because you were born into God's holy nation by faith in Christ.
