Why am I where I am....

Have you ever had a day when you off to a good start. Then when things are going as planned a wrench gets thrown in the mix. Something that so blind sides you that your an emotional wreck the rest of the day. It put me in a place where all I want to do is turn in the TV and PS3 and not do or worry about a thing the rest of the day. Sends me into a state of mind that it doesn't matter what I do that it is not going to be the right thing any way so why try. Why do I have that trait in me? Why do I always seem to get it wrong? Am I really getting it wrong?

How can some one say they are there for you and when you approach them you fill judged? Why does the older generation always seem so down on the younger because we don't do things exactly the way they want it done?

I understand that I have a lot of growing up to do still but the is what makes me, me! I am unique and exactly where God wants me. Taking steps to become a better leader and grow my knowledge of the word. In him I will find rest, in HIM I have peace!!

HIM that is my hearts desire, HIM my life song sings, HIM I want to please,

Why when the only approval in life i am after is Jesus's do I feel required to find man's?

My First Blog!!

Wow, I have now entered the world of blogging. I think there is one thing about this blog that may surprise you. It is going to be straight forward and raw. I am going to say what I think and feel. So if you don't like it don't read it!!

That off of my chest let me tell you how my week was last week. The weather was beautiful and warm. I spent a lot of time outside on the porch. Studying and preparing stuff for the youth group. I went to a funeral on Thursday of my sisters brother-in law. His name was Victor he was a very sweet and humble man. He had life's issues to deal with, but you know what he dealt with them. He had a mental handicap but that didn't slow him down. He lived life to the fullest and went at life with faith and trust that Jesus had his hand. While sitting at his funeral and listening to the pastor talk about some letters Victor had given him. My mind went to a video I had seen of a preacher with cerebral palsy. At the end of the sermon he challenged the congregation to live a life full of God's presence. His punch line was "What's your problem!!" He talked about how God had called him to preach and every one discouraged him and told him he would never be able to do that. Just like Victor every time someone told them they couldn't do something he tried even harder to accomplish it.

So as we live life as healthy human beings. Are we letting the devil tell us we can't do something or are we believing in our God the only true God to give us the power and ability to make it through. The devil loves to tell us that we can't do something when God has told us to do it. So take strength in the voice of the Lord if he has given you a mission!!

"WHATS YOU PROBLEM!!"
