About Me, the Author.

I am a 25 year old D.M.V. resident committed to a life of freedom only found in submission to Him. That is, I live in the D.C./Maryland/Virginia metropolitan area and I am first and foremost a Christian committed to a life of humble yet bold servitude in and through and to Jesus Christ.
I am currently enrolled at Capital Bible Seminary working towards a masters degree in Divinity as well as theology and hope to serve my Lord as well as His church to the best of my ability through His grace. I also serve at and love dearly Trinity Community Church in Bowie, MD. http://www.trinitycc.org
I’ve been blessed to have lived in every continent except Australia and Antarctica and so have seen a large portion of Gods beautiful creation both geographically and culturally, but I now live in and wonderfully enjoy the culture of the D.C. area.
These two realms, the grace of God through salvation in Christ and the beauty of Gods ingenious creation through a cities own unique culture and society, have been merged together in my mind to create SoulahGratia. It is a poetic play on the latin phrase Sola Gratia which the Protestant Reformers championed as a call to recognize that salvation, in fact all of life is of grace, come from God alone. The Soul of the Washington D.C. and its surrounding playgrounds merged with the Grace of God in all of life through Christs work on the cross has birthed this blog SoulahGratia.
As my life as well as this blog grows, hopefully I can add to and increase the depth of this autobiographical section. Untill then, enjoy the bloggage!

Brand New Site, Brand New Blog!

I must admit, I am somewhat apprehensive about starting this blog. For starters I don’t want this to be a project that I start and then let fizzle away in a couple months. I want to set a pretense of continually blogging on here almost every day, make it a part of my regular routine, be able to write on here with such diligence that if I miss a day I feel incomplete. Why? Well, I do write everyday, just not publically, and I write for reasons that I believe to be true, that is, I write devotionally what it is I have been meditating on all day. I put it on paper as a sort of ministering to my own soul. I write prayers alot, I write Poetry often, I write thoughts and discoveries, and I write what I have learned throughout the day. I want to now post these personal writings of mine for others to see. I’ve been greatly impressed and encouraged by others that have undertaken this same train of thought and have successfully created a blog and their writings have ministered to me greatly in my daily walk. I would hope that I may be able to do the same.

With that being said, and the knowledge that I do not want this project to die away, your comments and suggestions and feedback would be greatly apreciated as encouragement for me to keep writing. If my posts suck than I know I will not get readers, which will in turn give me reason to stop posting here on SoulahGratia. So tell me! If you like what you read, please say so. If you didn’t like what you read, say so. It is for others to read why I have begun this endeavor and as a new born baby to this I greatly desire attention and feedback. (=

What will be posted here? See the About Me section for a description of what I see this blog centering around, but it will come in the form of personal prayers, deep diatribes, clever conversations, and alliterations galore! (Actually, probably not alliteration.) I will post here what I have been posting in private journal form for years. So the more I write the more you will be able to see and understand. Lets begin!
