Day 430 (222)

It is nearing the end of my first semester back at school. I have had so much fun meeting new friends, hanging out with old ones, and learning more about life, love, and the Lord. I am proud to say I can officially wear my Relay For Life ‘Survivor’ t-shirt because I am cancer free! This is a fact that crutches cannot diminish. However, I do hope to get off them before some monumental weddings this summer, “pretty please Lord!?”
I took a minute today to look through some old quotes that I had saved from a few years back. I will share two that particularly stood out to me that I think may help you on your journey too. “A real man: Rejects passivity, Accepts responsibility, Leads courageously, and Expects God’s greater rewards.” Sounds like we’ve got our work cut out for us, huh boys. I find that these simple guidelines can apply to the majority of conflict and decisions that come up in our daily lives. I strive to work towards becoming a REAL man in full sense of the phrase.
Secondly, every so often I like to remind myself of the uniqueness that I was created with. We all have talents, traits, character, and a sense of humor that is combined in a way that won’t be repeated. Ponder this: Is there anyone like You? No, and there never will be!

Wait, read that again: Is there anyone like You? No, and there never will be!

Enter- God’s purpose and desire for our lives, for us to become the best versions of ourselves, and I can’t hold back the awe of being entrusted with a life, a task, and a journey, that no one else can or is supposed to fulfill. All that is left is for me to follow it through with it.

All Glory To God. Amen.
