Hola, my name is James Glenn Johnson, i'm 21 as of now. I live in Toledo, Ohio though i've done my far share of moving. I have two wonderfully insightful & wise parents. Aswell a younger sister Angela, she truly is my heart. I love God(YHWH) he is my true father aswell alpha & omega, also I have to shout out my brother & messiah Jesus Christ(Yesua).
Okay well hear I am finally after a years worth of praying, meticulous planning, & alot of abstemious activity. Sigh…I've come along way. Thing is, while the last year & a half the Lord has instigated a considerable amount of growth in my life. I know that I have so much more to do and with that being said my faith & discipline must not waver. God has put His desire for my life on my heart, in my dreams, in his living word, & on the tongue of others. It's really overwhelming in a good way when so many signs point toward one clear truth. My truth is that I have a very narrow & difficult path to walk in his company. It's the reason why I had to drink to trick myself into enjoying the club, the reason I had taken on so many addictions, the reason while very capable of cold words & actions, I always hesitated & when I was alone questioned why I wore this mask. All these things I did was because I was searching, trying to fill the void, trying to find my identity. My whole life I can't think of a time when I refused to turn to the Lord in any trial or not acknowledge him in most good done in my life. I always spoke with him freely, yet when I started to search for who I was as a person…being his child wasn't enough. I wanted to have a cultural identity. Me being an African American we don't generally have the means to trace our heritage back to a country. So I decided to look at my Native American background. I learned that I was Cherokee "go figure" on both sides. I started to research their history & you know what…I found many of their customs conflicted with my Christian beliefs. I went to music & started to embrace the neo-soul/hip hop culture in opposition to rap. But, again sorely disappointed when I found many of my peers where worshiping man as god(literally & purposefully). So for awhile I was floating, lost, stranded…
Then all at once I was compelled to pick up my Bible. I read it ferociously. I'm talking from day break till night fall for consecutive days. I had questions & it has answers. At first I was alarmed because what I read opposed the mainstream beliefs about christianity. But rather than dwell in bitterness at these contradictions getting frustrated & loosing faith(like many of my friends/peers), it just spurred me further along to know the truth about my Lord. I had been praying to Him this whole time & in actuality knew relatively nothing about Him & what He calls us to do as his servants/children. Since then every time I left out my door I retained a much deeper appreciation for life accompanied with His love. Whether it be trees, a beautiful girl, good health, a new book, or a car accident, my insecurity in the world was shattered. No longer was I bound by my insecurities, others opinions of me, or the devil's attempts to discourage my spiritual growth.
So, here I am born again, with new problems but with old answers. Not having reservations about giving myself completely to Him because my friends, peers, family or whoever else doesn't like it. Honestly I've come a long way & have so much more to achieve, so many causes to champion. The goal is to by January 2012 be headed off to 11 countries for 11 months giving Him glory and growing with each step. I've taken this year to prepare myself & to get everything in order. I know this is the Lord's will so the only thing left is for me to uphold my end. I have alot of things i'd like to do in a very small amount of time but I have faith that this mountain of mine will be not just moved but cast into the sea of life, with ripples effecting peoples lives I've never meet positively.
