I stood at the crossroads on April 10th of 2009, everything that I valued in my life was now gone. Just a few years earlier I had experienced losing my career dreams and a suffered through a long battle with depression. While thinking I had just managed to get my life back on track, within a few short months I had lost my grandmother, my mom, and my wife who filed for divorce. I had an addiction that needed to be addressed and there were things buried deep inside me that I had hoped to keep hidden for ever. The roller coaster that was my life officially crashed hard.
I had been a reluctant Christian my entire life. I was not a big fan of church because I knew that I could never meet the good behavior standard that seemed to be the key to acceptance in the church that I attended. I was a poser...I attended church but really lived by the world standard.
I realized that my life was out of control and I was helpless to do anything about it.
Enter God.
Re-imaging is the process of removing all the damaged and corrupt parts and restoring the system to it's original state. To me this is a perfect description of what God has and continues to do in my life. By His grace, He is restoring me into a person who is able and willing to accept God and build a relationship with Him like I was originally created to do!
