The Art of Breaking

Ok so i apologize for not updating since forever, but i think i finally can do this.
Im currently just sittin in my car in the parking lot at the church and decided to finally blog about the good, the bad, and the ugly in my life.

Lets start with the bad and ugly....since my last blog i am still a sinner(shocker huh?) and still need a lot of discipline as far as school and my daily attitude goes..although there has been alot of growth, my desire is to never be satisfied or become comfortable with where i am spiritually, mentally, and even physically. My desire is to press forward in every aspect of life.

Ok the good....i cant begin to describe the amazing things that God is doing in my life.....seriously....i cant. lol Lately ive been praying that i would choose to grow everyday in the decisions, actions, and words that i say. That i would not pray to be a successful leader or man of God "someday". but that i would take each day to be a success, and take each moment to mold and shape who i will be for tomorrow. By change and discipline i pray that everyday i would build my strengths and work out my weaknesses. Its so exciting to realize that everyday i have the chance to improve who i am; my character,personality,gifts,and relations with others and with God. The steps i take today will lead me to where i'll be tomorrow. My desire is to take steps forward and to be in continuous motion, even when it gets hard and to use the help of others that want to see me succeed. God is up to something amazing, and with all this intense preparation and growth i can only expect the best from Him. He is so good.

I encourage ya'll to do the same. Never become comfortabe with your relationship with God or ministry, make every effort to find a deeper love. Even when it changes all that we know or all we have been doing all our lives, its the art of breaking complacency, and the choice to pursue an intimate growing relationship with our God.

Love ya guys and i'll try to keep ya updated :)

Finally!! Something other than just a song! I agreed with Elizah in like Dec.! Right about your life...not that it wasn't good, just that we can listen to music any time. :)
I'm so proud of the amazing man of God you are becoming and I am so glad that God doesn't just say hey, ummmm....go grow in me. He gives us a choice every day to grow, change, and strengthen our relationship with Him. When it all comes down to it, everything in this life is about Him, whether it is a reflection of His love for us or how we should show others His love. That was the greatest commandment right?
So yea, keep pressin on and fighting the good fight and running to win. God will bless you incredibly when you take each moment and each opportunity directly from Him to grow closer to Him.
Sorry its so long...but you haven't posted in forever so I think I'm entitled to a longer comment. :)
