Following Jesus Christ In My Life!!!!!!!!!

I have not used my blog much to write about the wonderful name and person of Jesus Christ. I will say that HE has been in charge of my life from the beginning. My Mom June Nutter made sure my brother and I went to church just about every Sunday. We sang in the choir, did Sunday School, did plays in the Church. By the way our home church was and still is Quinn Chapel AME Church, Lexington, Kentucky. I can thank my Mother for putting a Christian base for me to live life by. But it is JESUS CHRIST, who has kept my life all these years, and put the Holy Spirit into me. I went off the tracks a bit when I was in the Army, but JESUS brought me back to center and never left me. JESUS CHRIST never leaves you, but we sometimes leave him, and he still gives us a chance to come back to him. JESUS CHRIST forgives us, if we earnestly repent of our sins. People have no idea what "repent" means. 

re·pent

 verb \ri-ˈpent\
: to feel or show that you are sorry for something bad or wrong that you did and that you want to do what is right. That is the definition of the word. We as human beings can't just ask for forgiveness, we have to make an effort not to sin again. That is the essence of repentance right there.  If you read further into the definition it also says: to feel regret or remorse. If you keep doing the same sins over and over willingly that is not showing regret or remorse. We as Christians and people have to truly get closer to GOD by repenting of our sins. Also we have to love following JESUS CHRIST, which means doing our best to do the right things. I sin and fall short all the time, but I am making my best effort to repent of my sins. It's still a work in progress for me and for all of us, but if JESUS CHRIST is in our hearts then we will live for eternity. I love the LORD, and I am trying to prove that I do more and more every day GOD gives me on this journey called life. GOD has blessed me and my family immensely, two healthy and beautiful children Reginice 24, and Timothy Jr 20 (though my son has a fractured knee right now, I believe GOD will heal him and make his knee even stronger), beautiful and wonderful wife inside and out Deborah Yordy Coleman. I count my blessings every day of my life. HE has given me everything I could ask for in life, health, happiness, a roof over my head, food to eat, a comfortable place to sleep. I could not ask for anything more the LORD has given me and my family. I am a licensed Illinois High School Association Basketball and Lacrosse Referee which I enjoy doing. I will say anyone that has not given their life to Christ should do so as soon as possible. You never know if you are going to wake up the next day and have a chance to save your soul. GOD can help you with any problem you might have, he will solve it in his time not ours. Anyone not saved you can have Peace in your life by giving it up to JESUS CHRIST. If you want to know more about this KING OF GLORY let me know. I will give you more of my testimony than I have given here. I will end this with a song I learned at Quinn Chapel: PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOWWWWW, PRAISE HIM ALL CREATURES HERE BELOWWW, PRAISE HIM ABOVE THE HEAVENLY HOST, PRAISE FATHER, SON ANDDDDD HOOOOOLLLLLY GHOST, AAAAAAAAAMENNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!!
