Life goes on...

It has recently become so apparent to me that life goes on. It truly becomes what you make of it and the legacy that you live. For me it has become a very tricky and slippery balance to maintain between the never-ending chase after the "American Dream" and the "unknown." There are so many factors, limitations, challenges, and choices that we face on an everyday basis. I just pray that I have the strength, patience, and self-motivation to ensure that I stay the path to what the Lord has for my life. Even though it seems with every passing moment it becomes less clear to me I have faith and know that there is a plan.

It seems somewhat cliche to quote this scripture here, but will do it regardless. This passage is fairly common, but it has taken on a new and complete meaning for me in my life. Jeremiah 29:11 from the passage states, "I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out - plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for."

You know I have hoped to be many things in my life, everything from a bowling ball, dentist, a businessman, missionary in some aspect, and so much more. I know that God created me with the talents that I have for a divine uniquely purpose, and I am excited how he will merge all of my hopes and talents to satisfy my wants and needs while fulfilling his purpose of furthering the Kingdom of God.
