So...wow. It has been for-freaking-ever since I updated my blog. I suppose, it was because I didn't really have time. I was too busy with my job, my life, and just trying to stay insane...er...sane...I think. Anyway, I hope you aren't one of those that sits at the computer frantically pressing F5 on the keyboard waiting for and update from me, because this is the first time I've really had a chance to do this.
Well, now that I've gotten this far, I suppose I should tell you what's up. A lot, is the answer. After a summer of getting really close to God and listening to the sermons of Bro. Rick Green, I feel like I have a purpose in life again. I feel like, that through my life, I can witness to others the love of Jesus Christ. Sure, others might say, "You have so much life ahead of you. Get your degree and get a high-paying job so you can make lotsa moneez and have a happy life!" I hate to disappoint, but money is not all life is about. Sure, you need money to survive in this cruel world but God has shown time and time again that He will provide for His Own.
I have two years of college left. During this time, I must keep my grades and keep my scholarship and not get kicked out of my dorm by not fulfilling the Henderson State University Honors College requirements. Suddenly, none of this matters to me. It's all material and means nothing. In the big picture, it all means nothing. Yes, I was smart, but can I outsmart the God who created me? Sure I made lotsa moneez, but am I richer than the God who uses the ever-valuable gold as common pavement? Yeah, I live in a nice dorm, but is my dwelling better than the mansion in Heaven that He has prepared for me? No, no, no, in that order. I felt at one point in time I had a calling to make a lot of money through a well-paying job and donate all the exceeds to missions. Now, I realize that the way I am to support missions is to be the missionary myself. I'm not called to sit on my hands and throw money at God's people, I'm called to go out there with them and fight alongside them for the Glory of God. And there is no better place to start being a witness for God than right here, right now, at Henderson State University, Arkadelphia, Arkansas, 71999.
Many people refer to there time in college as the time when they really found themselves. I didn't just find myself, I found who I truly am: God's Servant. And as such it is my duty to ask you, "Do you know my Jesus? 'Cause if you don't then you are really missing out in life." All the fun stuff in life, the romance, the relationships, dare I say it...the one night stands, the parties, hanging out with friends, etc. will only leave you wanting for more. But a relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ will fill your soul and leave you satisfied with life and wanting for more of Him and Eternal Life.
Could you please join me?
