I am so blessed

I am sitting here at 3:50 AM and i can not stop thinking about how blessed i am. There are countless things that i can list off that God has blessed me with. I have been adopted into such an amazing family. I have been given countless opertunities. I have been raised to by amazing parents. I have great friends that are suportive. I have gotten the chance to attend college. And i have a beautiful girlfriend who loves her Lord more than she will ever love me. 

So many times we dwell on what we dont have and we forget all the amazing things that God has blessed us with. God is always working in our lives and making it better. We can be so negative and drag others down around us. If we are just positive and focus on how we can benifit the good of others and ourselves we would be so much happier. When you get down just think of the countless ways that God has blessed you. From the weather on that day too the ability to breath and wake up in the morning. God is so vast and infanite and he will always bless us, and even bless us in ways that we do not know. 

Growing up in a imperfect place

Let me start off by saying that in no way is anyone on earth perfect. Everyone has faults. No one can go through life and say that they have never done anything wrong. It is pathetic that the world is full of people who sin, and are filled with guilt and with sin. It is such a dirty place. Sex and lust pollutes the television, and media. The idea of money, and greed is pumped into us to make us think that those things are the answers to life. If you take a step back and look at what the world is you really see how it is filled with aweful things. So as i take a step back i can help by say to myself.....

" WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE!!!"

Why would i just get done talking about how the world is filled with evil, and sin and say it is a beautiful place? It is because without all of this sin and evil there would be no way for God to show us is infinate and extravagant mercy. If the world was full of perfect people and a perfect place then we would not be able to understand that amazing aspect of God. It is so amazing to think about. We hate sin, and evil, but God created it partially so that we can understand him more fully. 

Also in the bible Jesus came to earth to save the lost. He came for the sinners, and tax collectors. He didnt come for the perfect people. He did not come for the people who have it all together. He came for all of us because we are all sinners. We are all those people who do not have it together. Jesus came to save us all. Anyone who accepts him is able to be washed free of that sin and that guilt. 

God loves us unconditionally. I have turned my back on him countless times and he still loves me with all of his heart. I hope that i can love the way he loves. I want to love like that. If ic an love my friends, and family like that then i know that i am doing something right. 

This place of sin, and evil is so beautiful and if you look hard enough you can even see God in the horrible things that happen. He is everywhere and i am so glad that he is always with me.

Hello Mr. Gump

As I sit here tonight i ponder on the things that i am most looking forword too in my life to come. With out a doubt i have already lived an amazing life and the experiences i have gone through have been extroidanary. God has blessed me in so many ways that i can not even begin to count them. The amazing family that has adopted me, the group of friends that he has surounded me with, the endless opertunities he has blessed me with, and a beautiful women who loves her Lord and savior. These are just a few things that God has blessed me with. It makes me wonder what is in store. What is coming next. Well there are a couple of things that i can not wait to happen. 

I can not wait to own my own house. For a man it is going to be great to come back to MY house. The place where i can hang my hat. It is going to be such a blessing to have a place of my own that i have worked hard for. I am looking forword to buy a place that is a little worn down. It still has that charm. I am looking forword to finding a place like that and  being able to put my blood, sweat, and tears into. A place that has a piece of me with it. I cant wait to be able to go through that experience

One thing that i would love to do in my life is to be my own boss. I would love to own my own business one day. The idea of having something that other people use that you have created is awesome. It would mean alot to say that i have created a product that people could use. It is for sure one of my goals to own my own business. I am not sure what i would do yet. I guess that is for God too decide. But the possibility of owning my own business one day is really exciting. 

This next one is something that i have been looking forword too for a long time. Without a doubt one of the happiest days of my life is the day that i get married. It will be the day that you get to spend the rest of your life with your best friend. The Lord has made marraige one of the greatest gifts to us. I can not wait to experience that. I know that when i see my wife open those doors and walk down the isle i will have the biggest smile on my face. I will be able to invite the most important person in my life into my life. I will be able to share all of me with her. I can not wait for that great day to come. 

Even though getting married is going to be without a doubt one of the greatest days of my life there is going to be one more day that is going to top that. The day that i have my first child. I dont think there is anything greater than having your own children. Someone who is totally dependent on you. You get to raise them and show them all you have learned. That is going to be the happiest day of my life. 

These are just a few milestones i can not wait to reach in my life time. I hope that God allows me to accomplish them all. My life has been awesome. I have only lived 21 years of it. I love that God has planned everything out for me. Nothing in my life has happened by chance. I love that so much. God is amazing and i am so blessed to be able to be his servent.
