I am sorry to all of you who read my blog, as it has been a few days since I have added anything. I have been so swamped at work, literally working at the office til midnight for the past few nights. This has caused a distance for me from the Lord over the last few days. I know that working is no excuse for this, but it has been hard to bring myself to the spiritual level I want/need to be at. I know God is watching over me through this busy time and I want to give Him all the praise and glory for everything He provides for me.
I have had a couple of chats with Dominic, Mike, and John about this and they all explained that as Christians we go through "dry spells." But I do not want to miss out from all of the amazing things the Lord has to offer me, because I am tired or not up to it after a long day. Those are merely excuses that I do not want to succumb to. Dominic shared with me the story of Jesus in the wilderness and how the Devil tempted him over and over. Jesus overcame the distance from God, through perseverance and dedicated faith in God.
I know God has all of my life in His hands, but I want to be so much closer so that I may be living the life God has planned for me. Because I know down His path there are abundant blessings waiting for me. I just need to strengthen my faith and trust in the mighty God we serve.
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*
