Double-Digit-Disciple
| January 11th, 2008I started following Jesus when I was 17 years old (February 7, 1998 to be exact), almost ten years ago. In just under a month I’ll be a double-digit-disciple, a tenured Baptist. Thankfully, God is faithful and he has continually drawn me out to deeper water where it’s harder to reach bottom. That means life gets a little scarier at times, but what pervades everything is the unshakable peace, profound joy, and vigorous love that come with a life fully abandoned to its maker. In other words, life is good. Hard/scary/frustrating/daunting at times. But always good.
Can I get an amen on that?
AMEN! Jesus does love to test our faith but it is so worth the huge rewards we receive in the end. I’ve been a christian for 15 years now and it gets better everyday. Not easier at all, but always better.
AMEN!!
A-A-Amen! Been a Christian for 21 years but didn’t really start understanding discipleship until my teens. And even then I didn’t fully submit. When you fully submit and ask for renewal, like I did at 25, man…it’s so awesome! Takes your life to whole different level.
How ’bout a “Glory!” instead
that is going to be my catchy slogan as i tour the country as an evangelist. anyway man i am proud of you hanging in there for all those years. i know it has been tough as it has for me as well. we became believers only a few days apart. i was reborn on march 15, 1998. i guess the lord had to practice on you before he moved on to me! !

wow i just tried to draw something, and i am not sure it worked. can you tell what it is?
I can’t tell what it is . . . the statue of liberty mabye? Shawn, It’s amazing how close our birthdays are, and then how God put our lives together.
Susan, ‘Glory’ works too!
Three ‘Amens’ and a ‘Glory’!!! Things are starting to get kind of lively in here!
