Choosing a Name

This is my first post, so I thought I would share why I chose journeywithme333 as my url name.  I believe that we are all on a journey from the day we are born.  I also believe that we are all spiritual in nature and that our spiritual life is NOT just a part of us, but it is actually the foundation of every part of us.  The journey that we are on is one of discovery and adventure, and the purpose is to draw us to our Heavenly Father - God.  I don't believe we often realize that's what's happening, and a lot of times people are in a sense "sleep walking" through life.When they finally "wake up" to the drawing of the Holy Spirit then life changes.  Finding God is not the beginning of our journey but an important part of our jouney that will continue as we walk through life.
  I chose 333 because of a verse found in the Bible, Jeremiah 33:3, that states  "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." My dad use to share this with me when I was growing up and had questions that I really didn't know the answers to.  My questions were not always about God but about life in general.  He told me that there is nothing that God cannot reveal to me if I took the time to ask him.  I have found this to be true.  So I am hoping and praying as we journey together in this blog that there will be times that "we just don't know" and we can trust that God will reveal himself.  Not knowing is somewhat exciting for me because I believe God uses our questions and searching Him out to draw closer to us and reveal more of who He is.
My prayer as we journey together is that we will be drawn closer to God our Father, we will be stretched in our faith, we will grow tremdously but most of all we will be shaped and molded to become what God desires us to be...more and more CHRISTlike.
