So I recently met up with a friend of mine today, an old friend who I have a lot of history with. We talked for two hours catching each other up on what has happened in our lives over the last 5 years the good and the bad. As I told my side of what had been going on I couldn’t help but pause and take note that the guy I described was no longer who I am today. On the drive home I thought of a friend of mine who this week asked me ” how do you have a relationship with God?” As I began to answer I remembered a video I once saw that explained it so much better than I ever could. How do you have a relationship God? Why are we put on this earth? What am I doing with my life????? I am reminded of how much God loves me and how amazing the love story is that God loves us so much and what He did and still does for us…………  
             I contemplated how far God has brought me just in this year alone. The relationships built, the one’s restored. The selling of my car, the earthly stuff, resigning in my management position.  Those are all well and good things in and of themselves but the real thing, the purest thing God has done with me this year in 2009 is allowed me to truly see Him to get a glimpse of His glory. I thought how did I get here? How did I get to this point in my life that I feel so in love with God and enjoy a real relationship with Him? I remember it all started with the message in this video,  just watch and see for yourself :
