Christianity Christian

I am a Christian, I was saved way back in 1977. Prior to that I broke a lot of peoples hearts, broke a lot of laws, and a few backs. When I was saved that all began to change. I lived for years in a desolate Desert place where I would take long hikes to study, pray and worship the Lord. This all began to change when my home was burned to the ground and I moved to the city. As the years passed I noticed that my walk has no resemblance to the past. The Lord had been calling me back to the Desert for years, but I rebelled and did not go. The longer I rebelled against the command of the Lord, the more my life became unmanageable. I sought the Lord over and over for the strength to turn from the things I had allowed into my life, but the strength to do so was as distant as the Sun. I went through years of total hell on earth trying to change but nothing worked. As I was in prayer again about this, the Lord spoke to me; He told me that as long as I remained on the path I had chosen, there would be no strength to change. The Lord told me that it is only when we walk down the path that He has chosen for us that we can find the grace (Strength) to overcome sin. I finally obeyed the Lord and returned to the Desert in the summer of 2008. I spent one month stranded in the Arizona Desert. The party that had dropped me off was to return in a few days, but that few days turned into a month.

For the entire 30 days I had fervently sought the Lord for the answer I needed, many things were said and many lessons learned during this time, but it is what He said on that last morning that brought tears to my eyes and changed me forever.
