My dad just asked me where I see myself in five years-
I replied "Awesoming; All over the place".
I know the plans God has for me are to prosper me, and give me hope.
Why not rejoice in that; and why not be optimistic about it?
Honestly, I've been so blessed to have such a strong community of believers supporting me
and encouraging me.
I write this to say thank you; first. Second, to let you guys know some of my goals for the next couple years of my life; so that you can continually encourage me and motivate me to do well.
To strive for excellence.
God calls us to be excellent in all things and I plan on doing so :)
1. I plan on graduating from college with a major in communications.
2. I plan on staying in shape and at least working out 4 times a week
3. I plan on touring in band for at least one summer
4. I plan on recording a cd or at least singing in a band
5. I plan on following Gods calling on my life to minister to the broken (continually since i am doing this now)

7. I plan on growing a mustache that can be respectable in size and thickness
8. I plan on buying at a v neck for any of my friends who have yet to try one on

19. I plan on being submissive to people God has placed in control over me
20. I plan on learning a new language (whether its french, spanish, greek, latin, or hebrew)
These are some of the plans I have, but I know that God works in CRAZY ways that are not always according to plan.
SO! i ask for prayer that I do not stray from His path, that I grow even more in love with God every day and that I seek Him in everything I do.
God,
I pray that you fill me to capacity with Your love; and when I am filled, extend my capacity so I can be filled more.
I ask that You match my capacity to love, with my capacity to accept Your grace.
I ask that You continually burn me in Your fire, that You test me so I can grow stronger in You.
Interrupt me God, so I can show other people Your crazy awesome love.
Use me.
Align my spirit with Yours: I want to LOVE what You love; HATE what You hate; and forgive others as You have continually forgiven me.
Do not let me stray from Your path, keep me in Your word and fill me with Your divine motivation so that I can continually fight for You, so that I can accomplish the tasks that You have set before me.
When I fail, give me the ability to rest in Your grace.
Let my failures that end with grace motivate me to repent and learn.
Give me wisdom where I am immature.
Give me strength where I am weak.
Give me perseverance when I am going through trials.
Give me motivation when I am lazy.
Give me eyes to see the hurting; and equip me with the tools necessary to help them.
I love you so much God,
All this I ask, in Your name :)
-Amen.
