God has given us all a purpose that He wants us to live out. A quote from Office Space,"People were not created to sit behind desks in little cubicles." Through my growth over the last few months God has shown me what His purpose is for me. It has not been something I am fighting, I eagerly want to live out God's plan.
1. I want to be all for God. I want to live out His will not my own. Everyday I want to grow more and more in the Lord's image. This consists of bible study, devotion, prayer, worship, and fellowship. Convictions weigh on me whenever I miss any of these aspects in my daily life. I feel like I am missing something or I will feel myself slipping into someone I do not want to be whenever there is a hiatus from my time with the Lord. This is my foundation for my life.
2. I want to be the best man I can be for my family. God has certainly blessed me with a wonderful family, who are there for me at all time. I want to be the best son and brother I can be for them. I love them so much and through God I experience the wonderful joys with my family. I also want to be the greatest husband and father for my family when that time comes. Fulfilling all the needs of my wife and children is something I will strive for everyday. I look forward to being the man of the household and providing for my family. My wife and family deserves all of my heart, love, and affection. Being there for them through anything and everything is one of the great joys of being a husband/father that I joyfully await.
3. I want to be the best friend to all of my friends. I have certainly been blessed with great friends throughout my life. I have not really appreciated this until the last few months, since I have been away from them. I could call on them anytime for anything and they would be there. I want to be the same for them, as I care for them so much. I look forward to raising my family around theirs. Sharing in memories for the rest of my life and having people around me that I can count on at all times.
4. I want to be a servant for God in helping with problems of the world. I feel that God has given me gifts to equip me for apostleship and serving others. I have a heart for those in need and suffering with the problems of the world. I have been involved in some homeless outreach programs in Denver, and there is no greater fulfillment than doing that of God's work. I want to combine serving and being an apostle. I know that my vision and dreams are big, but they are Godly dreams, so I know they are reachable. I want to start in Birmingham with the Dream Center (Church of the Highlands Homeless Outreach/Church) and grow in a Godly environment. Then I want to spread this work across the country and eventually across the world. Working with local churches in cities to build churches/outreaches for the homeless and needy. Not only would it be for worship, but for helping the homeless get back on their feet. Help them discover God's plan for their lives. I have quite a few ideas for seeding this ministry and eventually growing it across the world.
God has blessed me, so I want to do all I can to glorify Him.
be blessed,
your boy elbow
About Me
- Elbow
- I have recently given my life over to the Lord. It has been the greatest joy I have ever felt in my life. I finally have accountability in my life, that I have desperately needed. Through Christ I have the strength to push through anything life throws at me. I love my family and my friends. They are truly such a blessing. I am a southern boy from raising, but I have bounced around the country to stretch myself into the person I am today. I graduated from the University of Florida, so that makes me a proud Gator fan, Go Gators! My brother and I share an apartment in downtown Denver and we are learning how we are so different, but as God says, "We are fearfully and wonderfully created." Psalm 119. I feel that God is leading me to do His work. By helping others who are less fortunate and those suffering with the trials/tribulations of this world. This has just been shown to me over the last few months, as God has been the light of my life! He has truly shown me that no prayer goes unanswered, but it is in His timing. My love for others has taken a whole new level and I look forward to what God has to offer. *2 Corinthians 12:9-10*
