Ohhhhhh happy day! I cannot believe I made it to twenty-one! Finally! haha! Although, not much will change for me… still holding my promise to My Abba to never drink a alcohol drink again… still will never go clubbing.So really, What did turning 21 mean to me?! This birthday meant a lot to me. I got to look back at my live. Noting that I lived 18 years without my Pappa…. and three years with. It is crazy how time flies. I can remember when I came to know the Lord and I came back home from California full of questions….a heart that burned…and so willing to serve…so willing to be the hands and feet…but so not ready for I had much to learn for I was just like a baby being born. I am forever thankful for my church… they have helped mold me into who I am today. A man whose heart still burns…a man that is a servant, a man that is the hands and feet. They have helped me become a leader. A true man of courage. I look back at the three years I have been with the Lord. And I am so thankful that my walk reflects my God. For my walk is always moving. At times its hard to remember where I was that day I came back, because even from that day I am so different today! I am so thankful for Him putting me in a church where we have an abundance of youth! They were my sheep for the past year and a half. I was able to build relationships…plant seeds… help mold boys to men…. I am forever thankful. I am forever thankful for I am alive another year and thats a gift in its own way. I am so thankful for AIM for having the Worlds Race program for now my next year will be serving the Nations across the world. I am thankful for the new sheep I am getting. I am thankful for the process I went through. It will be hard to leave my family…my church…my friends… but I am thankful for them for they are along with My Abba ..are my very strong foundation! I am thankful for all the love and support I have recieved! And for those who read this… know that although it seems as you read this my life was all butterflies and rainbows after I got saved…. that is not the case…. I had many changes to make…. many sufferings…. many different seasons. But that is the point… all that He put me through lead me here today. And it will speak VOLUME to the Nations. So in closing…. turning 21 for me is not that average American birthday…. today was full of family and thankfulness. I am ready to serve my next year out….my rest of my life out… for I am forever His servant…His missionary…. The Nations are my people…. I thank you First Baptist of Groves for being the guidance that I needed… I was so full of questions… full of energy… now I can finally put all that into the use that He planned for me! I thank You Father for being truly Everything… I have seen you as the Healer…Teacher…Protector…Friend…Father…God. You are my all in all. My heart beats because your heart surronds mine… Your spirit is inside me… I get to be apart of something Holy… Thank You for showing me I am Your son! I humbly lay down everything infront of You and will always let Your will be done in me. Father…. I am jumping off the cliff cause you said fly! I will never be the same after this coming season…. and the ones to come after that… Thank You for Your love!! I could go on forever Pops. So I will wrap it up here…. Thank You for another birthday…for all of my family was still there to sit with me at dinner… and that was an amazing gift… Thanks Pops. I love You!!!!!
