My New
Beginning started almost a decade ago, but it wasn't till after the birth of my son that I truly got serous and submitted my life to the Lord. I wanted my children to have a relationship with God. I knew for that to happen I needed to be an example for them. It has now been six years since I have made that decision and I have no regrets. God has met with me and I now have a very personal relationship with Him. He has been my provider, protector, saviour, and friend. God has shown Himself real to me, my wife, and my children.
I am now in the process of learning how to be a better friend to others. I say all these things because when I came to God in 1993 I was a broken, and fragmented, a defiant young man. Love, mercy, respect, forgiveness, family, joy, loyalty, were all just words that had no meaning or depth to me;

My New Beginning
Happened when I was 21 years old. I had been raised going to church every Sunday, but never knowing if it was more than a social club. I decided to read some of the Bible and what I learned challenged my way on thinking. One of the verses I read was
1 Corinthians 6:20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
I had assumed that my life was exclusively mine and that I had no obligation to anyone. As I explored what the Bible had to say, I discovered that God was described as holy, loving and completely good. I told Him that if he was like the description in the Bible, that I would give him control of my life. He has been everything I had hoped and more, he is totally trustworthy. The best decision I have ever made was to stop trusting myself to run my life and put Him in the driver’s seat!
And I got to tell people about him while crushing cement
