Over the past few weeks I have had much introduced and much removed from my life. I have learned the true value of self, friendship, and the value of prayer. I have gone out to the trails and just had God time, and frankly it has been an amazing experience.
Over the past few months I have been reading "Fathered by God" and "Wild at Heart" with my guys group at church. I never realized so much of my life in the past was shaped by the way I had been brought up. Don't get me wrong my parents are amazing people, and the reason I am still alive to this date. Without their prayers I would not be even 1/1,000,000th of the man I am today. However, there are patterns that needed to be broken in me. Places that I had to heal in my heart, and really just be remolded. I learned in my readings of that and the word that a man is meant to go through phases. If one of those phases is missed the other one will lack and so on. Pretty much all this has allowed me to go back and heal, forgive, and repair the past issues with my heart. Realizing that God wants me to be complete and totally focused on his goals not my own earthly visions of what should happen.
Realizing today that I have a lot of natural talents, and because I was afraid of being scrutinized while also being unwilling to make mistakes. The majority of that process has been healed. I'm far from perfect for he is the only perfect one, but I am on my way.
My goals and dreams are coming closer and closer every time. I have faced my giants, but there will always be more... I have fought my battles, but this is an on going war... yet the battle I am most aware of now is the battle of self.
I am thankful for God sending me people to pray for me and just be there for me to help in my walk, and amazingly my past physical ailments are starting to become less present.
The only thing I know is that my will to be in his will is the only thing that matters. My heart complete and my willingness will help me thrive. Thrive in service, action, humility, love, and most of all my calling.
Are you in a place that you want to change? Change is possible. He grabbed the ones people saw as unfit and made them kings and warriors. He wants to do the same for you. You just have to be willing to thrive and not just survive. Leave everything behind and let him take the wheel.
I have realized this not only spiritually, but physically. He grabbed me from a physically overweight out of shape individual to a motivated and aspiring trainer/therapist.
If you don't think not taking care of yourself physically causes illness talk to me. I can explain to you what atrophy of all the muscles on a side does, along with loss of ligamentous stability, and loss of neurological capacity and coordination can do. It's time to stop slacking. Be willing to give it all up because God wants you to thrive.
I'll be back soon. Studies call.
Much Love my Friends.
