Well, I cant sleep. So, its time for a long post. Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. Sarah & my family made it a great day & your kind words as well. I spent a good part of the day by myself & I couldnt help but kind of look back on my 27 years of existence and look at who I am now. Yall know how I am, I over analyze things sometimes, Im probably over-opinionated, and maybe simply irritating. Im not good at answering phone calls, I like to text. Its not that I choose to wake up on a daily basis just to see if I can ruffle someones feathers, I think its just who Ive become. I want to stand for something. In a time where everyone wants to talk about it, but no one wants to be about it. I want to be about it. I want to stand for Christ. If you cant look at my life and see that He is alive and still changes people, you aint looking. I want to stand for Patriotism. I love this country. Ive always loved history, the history of it, but just recently have I truly been able to appreciate it. We have a lot of issues, no doubt. But it is the most blessed land God created, in so many ways. I wish more of us did more to revitalize the constitution and what the framers meant when they wrote it. I want to stand for family. Ive found that I find no greater satisfaction than the moments I do or say nothing, but simply sit back and listen and watch my family as they bless my soul unknowingly. Sarah calls it selfless, but maybe its selfish. I am so happy just being with them. I want to stand for hard work. I want to be great at what I do. I want others around me to want to be better because of how I approach my tasks. Its no secret that as a whole, weve lost our way when it comes to a blue collar, get after it lifestyle. Mainly due to our leadership and their buy-a-vote approach. But there is still something noble about pouring yourself into something on a daily basis and knowing that you brought it today. I dont care if its sacking up groceries or looking for a cure for cancer. We all play a role. And hard work is noble. Colossians 3:23 gets me to that level when I cant get there on my own. We say sometimes, man, if Id just known then what I know now things would be different. Thats true, but the learning process, the ride, thats what its all about. You look back 10 years and you really didnt know anything. I was a boy with no desire to be a man. Now I want to be a better man on a daily basis. I can appreciate the struggles and hardships of the past and I dont fear those that are to come, simply because of Gods word. I dont care about popularity or a title. I just want to bring it everyday for all these reasons. I fail daily, but I will be relentless. Im not giving in to the pressures of the day just because its easy or it feels good. I feel like Im the most blessed man on planet Earth and youd have a tough time convincing me otherwise. I hope every single one of you has a great day.
