Hello Friends

Hello Friends,

I did it!!! I finally created a blog :)  Now some of you might be wondering where I got the title for my blog so, I will put your mind at ease.  When I was at Ellerslie this last fall(2011) during the graduation ceremony the staff gave each man a title they thought we were liken unto.  The name I was given was, The Surrendered Vanguard.  

The Vanguard is the front lines of an army.  Surrendered means: yielded to or given over to the will of someone or something else.  So consequently, the surrendered vanguard is the front line of troops who are ready and willing to give their life for the cause for which they fight.  My aim in this life is to be that yielded soldier on the front lines for Jesus.

I love Jesus and my goal in life is to honor Him in all I do.  All I want to do with my life is what He wants me to do.  One of the things Jesus has placed within me is the love for writing.  This is one of the reasons I started this blog.

Along with writing, I also love adventure and travel.  I have no doubt that I will be living an adventurous, journey-filled life while serving my King. So, another reason I created this blog is to keep all my friends and family updated on where God will take me in this life.

God is great and I am so thankful for His grace and saving power.  I accepted the Lord into my heart on October 13, 2011 and since then my life has been forever changed.  The last reason I have started this blog is to share and encourage my brothers and sisters in the Lord with the things He is teaching me.  

So thanks for checking out my new blog and I will do my best at keeping you updated on what my Lord, Jesus Christ, does with my life.  Until next time my friends...peace :)
