In the Beginning

Hello and welcome to my Blog. I am completely new to this, so to start things off I am going to tell you about myself, and my life. Not a complete run down, but a highlight reel of. 
I am 23 years old, I have been married since 2007 and I have two little boys, Troy he is three, and Braiden he is 7months. My life completely changed when I was in college in Nov. of 2006. Before I was married to my wife, We were both in college and she was home for Thanksgiving break, thats when I was       informed that my life was going to change forever. Katie was going to be having our first son, Troy. I was completely scared and did not know what to do. Now here is a little about me, that most do not know. At that point in my life, I was not a strong Christian, I was what I like to call a weekend warrior. I went to Church on the Sunday, and by Monday I had completely forget everything I heard. To continue on, Katie had Troy and he was a beautiful little boy. Katie dropped out of college, and I finished up the few months I had left, I went to a tech school. I was working for a pizza shop while I was in college and we were living in a section 8 housing. For those of you who do not know what that is, section 8 housing is a  housing complex that the government pays for some or all of your rent based upon you income status. Well to make it a shorter story I'll just say that I hated it, it hurt me inside, my pride, everything I did not want to raise my son in a government housing. I worked as hard as I could to get out of there, and I did. We are now living in a nice house renting, and actually looking to buy a house here very soon. BUT I did not do this. It was not me, I may of gone to work, and I may of worked 18 hour days some days. But I did not put my family here, and it took me a long time to figure that out. Well that is your high light reel of my life, One last thing I want to say is that I am not doing this for myself, actually I am trying to figure out when I'll have the time for this, but God has told me that this is some thing he wants me to do. I have learned now, that I need to listen. 


May God Bless you today in all that you do,
Eric
