Hello all!
How to introduce myself? This may be difficult as I am reserved when first meeting people. Here goes...
I am a young man studying to be an architect. I was drawn to architecture at a young age because it is a very logical / mathematical field and because architects fulfill one of the basic needs of human beings (there's good job security). I live fairly minimally because I don't see much value in building up worldly possessions. I have dipped my toes into the work field before but it was tough for me to sit for 8 hours a day at a computer screen at a desk simply because I like to be active. I have a bit of a free spirit. Whether it's climbing a mountain to see the sun rise or a thunderstorm glide eastward at dusk, or whether it's dropping everything to drive somewhere above the lights to watch the stars move across the sky, or whether it's dancing the night away to a tune on the guitar, or whether it's paddling downriver among the pine-clad hills, I like to take every opportunity I can to marvel at and experience creation.
I am excited to join this community. I am different from all of my peers and have been aware of this for a long time. As a result, I find myself feeling very alone in this world, despite believing the Spirit of God lives in me. I believe the Spirit has revealed to me recently that this loneliness is currently an enabler of my sin. To wage war against this spiritual force of evil I join this community seeking to set my mind on things above and be encouraged by your faith. I have a lot to say about a lot of things so I hope to be an active and positive contribution to this site. I am far from perfect.
To end this beginning: my favorite verse.
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." (Gal. 5:1 NIV)
