"A Christian isn't a man who never goes wrong, but a man who is enabled to repent."  -C.S. Lewis            I want to start this post by looking at the definition of repent. Repent 1. feel or express sincere regret or remorse about one's wrongdoing or sin. 2. view or think of (an action or omission) with deep regret or remorse. 3. feel regret or penitence about           One thing that I have always thought was that I should never regret  anything. I should live everyday being happy with my life and if I am filled with shame and regret there is no way that I can be a happy person.           However, Acts 3:19 says, " Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out ." We can see that God tells us to repent and the  definition of repent clearly says to feel regret in all three definitions above. So how can you repent your sin...

          This past week has been full of excitement.           On December 29, my blog turned 1 year old. Over the course of the year, I posted 33 blogs, had 2,529 pageviews, and had readers from 10 different countries. I've made it further than I thought I could in a year and I can't wait to see how my blog will continue to grow. I can't thank my readers enough for helping me get where I am now.            January 1 was the start of a new year. And i believe I ended 2015 and began 2016 in the best way possible.            I spent the past 7 days at UM ARMY. For those of you who don't know, UM ARMY stands for United Methodist Action Reach-Out Mission by Youth. High school and college students and adults spend a week going into communities to work on projects at the houses of people who can't fix the problems themselves or don't have the money to do so.      ...
