~Zbmx~ Zack Well as you probably guessed, that's me on my bike...Lol I've been riding for most of my life. Its always interested me and I'm pretty sure God has me in the bmx industry for a Good reason. God usually has good reasoning behind all he does...Lol, actually Perfect reasoning! Unfortunately My walk with God hasn't been as strong as my walk (or Ride, Lol) with Bmx. But over the past couple years I've really drawn close to God and Jesus. You see I grew up in a Christian family. My parents did a pretty good job at showing me the truth, but I drifted a bit in high school. I got into smoking weed with some of my friends. I ended up smoking the stuff for quite a while after I tried it. But a few times some friends and I would be sitting around and we'd end up talking about God. (I always believed in him, But I didn't always Live the way he wanted me to) But they would have these questions that I had didn't know the answer to. It really got me wanting to get closer to The Lord. I'm pretty sure that's the spark I needed to get the ball rolling again for Christ Because After that I began reading more of Gods word, and The holy spirit began convicting me of the sin I was living in. The more and more I got closer to God the more God Got closer To me. He showed me all the lies I was living in by me trying to hide my habit from other people, and He also showed me that I would like the Holy Sprit's High so much more compared to a plant's high. I would rather be getting high from God than from something he created...Lol...Plus its legal!...Lol...Thats another way I was convicted, was by what 1 peter 2:11 speaks about, how we should obey the law of the land unless it goes Straight against God. But to disobey the law is in a way disobeying God because The only reason our government is established is because God allows it. And plus we need to be the BEST examples to others in the world, especially if we are to be sharing the message of Jesus Christ. We can't be trying to get the speck out of our brothers eye when there is still a log in our own.... Anyway, after that whole deal, I've just been getting closer and closer to God and Jesus, and I love my personal relationship with them. Its grown So much lately. I love it. And I met a bunch of Loving and caring People here at Wounded Soul. Its such a blessing to be able to chat with you all and share Gods Love with each other. Its so nice to be able to build each other up In our faith. But now I feel called to be a witness of the Love of Jesus to the bmx industry. There are SO MANY Lost souls out there riding bikes. Riding bikes really is a good way to meet new people because almost every time I go ride a skate park I meet someone new that also rides. I've met so many people and I'm sure Gods using my relationship with them for seed planting and watering...I have a few close friends that Gods working on I'm sure. I can see the work he's doing in there lives. But before I go riding with them or anything I talk to God and ask him to let my words be useful and for them to spark some eagerness in thier heart so they might be drawn to Jesus. I just pray for Gods perfect will in all ways. But I'm sure Gods given me this talent in Riding for a good reason. I'm so thankful. Another reason I was drawn to God was The fact that in riding, injuries are pretty common. I Knew God was in control in all those injuries and The fear of The lord really kept me in shape... I have been so Blessed in that I have never broken a bone. I've had my fare share of wrecks though, but thank God they haven't been to serious. I mean I have never been to the E.R. due to bmx. So I give God ALL the Glory. He's Been So Kind to me! Anyway, If you want to contact me to talk or for ANY reason at all, You can e-mail me at Zbmx@msn.com. If you want, You can add me to your MSN Buddy list using the same addy. And Also, I have a bio and some pics of me riding on my friends site Pacific Bmx. Its a site with riders from mostly Oregon and Washington.
