Here's to the next chapter of my open book life



Hello!

First of all, Happy New Year and welcome to my blog! 

This is my first time officially "blogging" since I did blog a bit back in the day on a website called "Xanga". Essentially this blog will be similar with me writing about stuff that happens in my life and being an outlet of thoughts, feelings, and hopefully some wisdom. I hope to update this thing weekly or anytime I feel called to write. I will also try to include Bible verses or quotes that have touched me as well as 'song of the week' since I always find myself having a favourite song of the week that gets played a bunch so I think I'll share that.

I have always considered my life an open book as I have nothing to hide in my life which allows me to freely and honestly answer any question asked. Sometimes in life this sucks because, since I'm human, I do make mistakes and people, including myself, get hurt. This blog will be an extension of my open book life and I hope you enjoy the read!

My reason to starting this blog is that my life went through one of its largest changes last fall with me starting a new school (Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College), moving to a new city (Toronto), and losing one of the most important relationships in my life (my friend of 5 years and girlfriend of almost 3 who I will refer to as SM for her identity sake). With all these changes, I have felt that I have grown immensely with my walk with Jesus and have truly woken up to the potential of my life. It was a painful wake up call but I have finally shaken myself out of the auto-pilot mode I've been in the past couple of years and am really excited to see how God will change my life for the better now that I am going to be proactive in being all I can be. With all this growth, I've decided to share the journey God is going to take me on with you, my readers! (if I get any haha). It still feels good to share even if no one reads it I suppose. 

Well this is the first entry and I hope you enjoyed it. I will be giving background to my life and share my experiences as I continue to blog. I hope you enjoy and please contact me or comment to let me know what you like or dislike!

All the best and God bless!
John 

VERSE OF THE WEEK:  (keep with the growth theme of my life)
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
- 1 Corinthians 13:11
