Introduction & Welcome!

I was lying in bed one night asking the Lord about my future.  More specifically, what I was supposed to do with my life.  This has been a struggle for me ever since I came back to the Lord twenty years ago.  You see, God divinely intervened in my life even before I came back to Him and He has done so on several occasions since.  As a result, I have a difficult time trying to figure out what part of my life is my responsibility and what part is His.  I can’t seem to reconcile the concept of individual “free will” with being part of His “Divine Plan” for my life.  I have also received several prophecies over my life (as have my wife and I), that I expected God would sovereignly bring into existence.  As you might have guessed, that did not happen; thus, the late night questions. 

So there I was, asking God again about what I’m supposed to do.  It dawned on me that perhaps I was asking the wrong question.  So I asked, “What is my destiny?”  “Writing”, was the reply.  “What should I write about?” “Write about us.”  “About our relationship?” “Yes.”  Well, I’ve had thoughts like this before, but something was different.  I could see in my mind that a door was open before me and that it might close if I didn’t step through.  The thought that the door might close and never open again scared me as few things have done before.  So, I got out of bed, went to my office, cranked up the computer and began writing what you see here.  My prayer is that God will continue to guide me.  That He will give me words that truly and adequately reflect my heart and His, and that you, the Reader, will be blessed as a result.  In Jesus’ name...Chris Kilday, Sept. 30, 2011

(P.S.:  This started out as a book, but I didn't maintain my focus and over two months passed with little contsructive writing.  A couple of nights ago I had a dream that convinced me to start again before I lost this opportunity.  I got the very distinct impression that someone else needs to hear that they are "God's Favorite".  If you think about it, we are all, individually, "God's Favorite".  Mankind was created expressly for fellowship with God and I believe He is capable of relating in the most intimate way with each and every one of us.  My goal is to encourage you in your relationship with God and help you start one with Him if you haven't already.  I will try to post a new observation weekly.  So, once again, Welcome!  Chris Kilday, Dec. 11, 2011.)
