We’ve all done it. We’ve all fallen in love with a show on Netflix and watched 6 years worth of episodes in the span of a week. We Americans call this binge watching. How I Met Your Mother, Friends, The Office, Leverage, and Chuck (the greatest show ever made this side of the Walking Dead). All of these are shows that I have binge watched beginning to end. But now I have a confession. I have a new binge addiction…
Blogs.
Everyday I read the newest blogs from past, current, and future World Racers. The more I read the more excited I get. I read about some of the things I may get to do. I hear stories about the countries that I will one day be in. I hear about how God is working in everyplace the World Race visits. I see these stories and I get pumped up! I can’t wait to see an African sunrise, to play with orphans, to worship with people who don’t even speak my language, to minister to those who have never even heard about God, to see the world.
There is one thing though that I am really looking forward too.
Being Broken.
You see since I have been a kid I have essentially remained the exact same person. I’m the fun little brother who has a joke for every situation. I never went through a rebellious stage, I have rarely been pressured into bad situations. I have never had my heart completely broken. Sometimes I wish I didn’t shelter myself so much. I feel like I’m still a little kid.
So in order for me to grow and be the man that I want to be, the man that God made me to be, I have to let him break me. I have to surrender.
