growing up

I had a very meaningful conversation with my boy John Bryant this morning and then just a few minutes later I seemed to be having a very similar conversation with my friend Sarah. We talked about how we are ready to grow up and hope that are friends are ready to do the same. Both John and Sarah shared with me how disheartening is to see our friends waste night after night at the bars. John brought up one of our friends who is really struggling with this right now and he asked me to keep this friend in our prayers. The drinking has become such a convenient outlet for our friends to deal with their issues. I cannot judge them one bit, because I used to be in that very same boat. I just care about them so much that I want the best for them. And hearing from both John and Sarah it sounds like there are a lot of problems that come directly from their drinking habits.

In the same conversation with John we both shared how we are ready to move on to the next stage of our lives. We are both ready to settle down and have someone in our lives who we can intimately give our lives too. We both expressed that we want that special someone to be a strong moral influence in our life. Someone that we can grow with spiritually and emotionally is a priceless joy of life we are both excitedly anticipating. Giving all I have to the woman I love, so that all of her heart's needs and desires are abundantly met is a prayer I pray daily. It was so encouraging that John felt the same way.

I told John that I grow spiritually when God places someone in my life that needs help and I am there to guide them on their walk with Christ. When I am able to bring someone farther along on their walk with the Lord I receive so much wisdom and knowledge for my own life. For me there has been no greater moment in my life, when God used to me to lead Hunter to salvation. I believe there is no higher moment in big brother's life.

Thank you Lord.

be blessed,
your boy elbow
