J Bizzle

I wanted to write a blog expressing my appreciation for such a great buddy of mine. John Bryant has been such an amazing friend to grow with over the past few months. God has truly blessed me with his friendship. Him and I have given our lives over to the Lord and it has been awesome to walk down the road of amazement with a guy I can relate with.

We both deal with a lot of the same issues and at times we are both struggling with the very same thing. We both long for God to use us for His purpose and the journey has been a blast so far! In the early stages of my walk, John and I would go to church together. Some weeks we would even attend up to six services. This included Church of the Highlands, MountainTop, and the Basement (Matt Pitt: Holla at ya boy). I almost wish I could go back to the days where there was nothing in my life, except for whichever service we would go to that night. It was awesome to have the Lord work so quickly in my life and along side such a great friend.

John and I had such a powerful conversation the other day, where we decided to help each other out even more with the things we are dealing with. We are going to help each other by using accountability in our friendship. This way we both know what is going with each other to help one another. John told me the Pastor was talking about surrounding yourself with: mentors, people to grow with, and people you help grow. What a cool way to carry out God's will.

Guidance, accountability, discipleship.

I look forward to see how God uses this in our lives as this comes to fruition. Just to hear John tell me that he prays daily about me and my family means so much and there are truly no greater joys in life than this. I really am so thankful to have an awesome Christian friend like John.

Hollllllllaaaaa at a playaaa when you see him on the streeeetts.

be blessed,
your boy elbow
