And God Said…

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.(ESV)

John 1:1-4 (1)In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (2)He was in the beginning with God. (3)All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. (4)In him was life, and the life was the light of men. (5)The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.(ESV)

Genesis 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24, 29 And God said…
Genesis 1:26 Then God said…

God spoke all of creation into existence. Except mankind. In verse 24, God commands the earth to bring forth animals. In verse 26 He says “Let us make man” then, as confirmed by Genesis 2:7 and Psalm 103:14, He forms man with His own hands out of the dust of the earth before breathing life into Adam.

He could have just said for the earth to do it like He did with the animals and sea creatures, yet He made us with His own hands. There is no mention of Him breathing into any other creatures. This shows that we have a very different relationship with God than any other creature that was formed.

We were made for a very special purpose. This was true for Adam and Eve. This is true for each one of us today. He has a plan and a purpose for each of us because He knew each of us would exist before He made Adam.

Who am I?

I’ve walked a path I didn’t ask for, guided by a God I can’t ignore. I don’t wear titles well—writer, teacher, leader—they fit like borrowed armor. But I know this: I’ve bled truth onto a page, challenged what I was told to swallow, and led only because I refused to follow where I couldn’t see Christ.

I don’t see greatness in the mirror. I see someone ordinary, shaped by pain and made resilient through it. I’m not above anyone. I’m not below anyone. I’m just trying to live what I believe and document the war inside so others know they aren’t alone.

If you’re looking for polished answers, you won’t find them here.
But if you’re looking for honesty, tension, paradox, and a relentless pursuit of truth,
you’re in the right place.

If you’re unsure of what path to follow or disillusioned with the world today and are willing to walk with me along this path I follow, you’ll never be alone. Everyone is welcome and invited to participate as much as they feel comfortable with.

Now, welcome home. I’m Don.
