The beginning?

I don’t really know the “right” way to start a blog like this – maybe there isn’t one. No cookie-cutter template fits a journey like this. I’ll just begin writing and let it go where I feel.

My name is Kevin.

I just decided to share a bit about my walk from where I was to where I am now.. not all at once but a mix of all of it. I didn’t begin my faith in a ostentatious way but in a way you hear quite often. A high school friend invited me to their “show” or “gig” at a small get-together at a church event and the speaker spoke to me with the gospel. What is the Gospel? Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John is a GREAT place to start. I’ll dive deeper in the future, I promise.

I remember tears falling and feeling overwhelmed at my struggles before that moment. I had clarity on SO MANY THINGS. The struggle is always either tough in the beginning at having a new way of looking at things or easier than doing it without a guideline on daily living. It didn’t mean it will be fixed all in one moment.. honestly.. it was and still is a daily fight to be closer to the one who created me. G.O.D.

I’ll let you know the one question I had consistently every day I read more and more of the Bible and still do.

Why Me?

I made mistakes, I still make them, and I continue to struggle. I doubt all the time… more than I care to admit sometimes. I even wandered for almost 3 years trying every religion I could get my hands on. For some reason, Buddhism spoke to me for a while. In the end, a friend I met and served with in the Army showed me a video. I remember feeling a VEIL being lifted on what I thought I knew and I realized that before that moment, I only THOUGHT I knew what I was reading but now I UNDERSTOOD what I read.

That was the beginning of such a beautiful journey of God speaking to me and still speaking to me today. Was it like that for you?

Thanks for reading my first post. It means a lot that you stayed and read until the end.

As it is titled, this was just the beginning.
