Statue of Clay?

So why didn't I just put my name? Well, to answer that question I'll first tell you why I chose this name. I chose it because it's what I am. See, my goal is to be a statue that stands fixed pointing to heaven, and for now i'm just made of clay. When the rain comes I often melt and lose my form. But the more I stare at the sky, the more the Son will bake me, and the stronger I will become. One day I hope to be a statue of stone, that can stand the weather, unmovable, staring to the sky without blinking. Why didn't I just use my name? Because every time I write I don't want it to be "me" writing. I want to remember to keep my gaze fixed upon Him and so I chose a name that will remind me to do just that.

And so it begins...

Hey! so this is my first blog post! I'm pretty psyched! Though slightly intimidated. After following some other blogs I feel mine will much less awesome, but that's not he point. I created this blog partly for my benefit and partly for the benefit of others. For me this is my outlet to share my thoughts and hopefully discuss them with other Christians (you) and as a result learn about our amazing Creator! For others, though I'm not a very good philosopher or thinker God often uses the least to confound the wise. Hopefully you'll be able to see God through my writing. My goal is to simply be like a statue that points toward heaven unwavering, full of wonder, and filled with joy.

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
Colossians 3:1-3
