Purpose and thoughts

The purpose of this blog to create an outer dialog of an exodus of societal norms and into a new place of exploration. My hope is to challenge myself over of the course of a year or so with thoughts and questions that come to me as a I struggle through daily living out the foot steps of Jesus. I want to understand how the life of Jesus can be applied to my life.

Having just graduated from college and starting a new chapter in my life, I am realizing that there must be more to life then just having a job and starting to set myself up for financial success (although I do understand the importance of both of these aspects of my life). I want something more then just going to work. I want to make a difference. But, I am realizing that it is not me who can make a difference. It is Christ working through me. Over the course of the next year, I want to focus on reading classic literature on Christian thought (e.g. C.S. Lewis, Foster, Tozer, Augustine, Wesley, Spurgeon, Pascal, Bonhoeffer, et. ). As well as reading other topics of literature from classical English to contemporary to history to science. I did not graduate with a degree in literature or working composition. I am not a literature analysis, I am a person who is interested in finding truth that is applicable to my life and the lives of people I come in contact with. I am approaching this from a Christian world view and I will be turning to the Bible to find answers to questions I have.
