Reasons

Hello everyone and welcome to my new website where you will hopefully find a lot of insight of what is going on in my life and my family.

What are the reasons for calling this blog Lifting Eyes? My eyes are flawed and often follow things that don't last. They are often impressed by the flashy things of this world. Whether it be in the cheap entertainment on our computers or whatever our eyes are drawn to on tv. Maybe even in material things I find myself wanting and desiring.

Yet these things pass away in the blink of an eye and I keep wanting something more. It's kinda like my craving for candy. I love it so much and find myself eating more and more, never fulfilling my lust for the sweets. I have only found one thing in this life that has been faithful to me. That is Christ. His water makes me never thirst, it is an energy that never dies. When my eyes are lifted on Him..."I can do all things!"

Peter once was asked by Christ after a hard teaching, and many followers of Christ left, whether he was leaving also and his response is even true to today, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." (John 6:68) He is eternal.

So with that said, I hope you enjoy my coming to the "blog world" as I write about the things that I experience in my world for you to learn and be a part of. May my eyes always be on Him for there is nothing greater, not on things that pass away.
