Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew. -Saint Francis de Sales (1567 - 1622)

One of the things that God has really shown me the past few days is just how impatient I am with His plans. Clearly this is because I did not have Christ as the center of my life. One of the things that I really just need to come to terms with that is I am behind the curve for my age. I never have felt as old as my age says I am. I think that is why these "adult" pressures of responsibility have given me fits lately. I'm just starting to get comfortable in my own skin. I've been reworking a lot of my thinking lately. I do now understand why God choose to bring a long a girl at this point in my life. I really thought I wasn't ready for anything. However, God knows what He doing in bringing along Sammi right now. I need a splash of cold water to the face to wake me up from the path I was taking toward becoming the "loser" I was convinced I was. Then this very funny wonderful girl comes along side of me and I realize there is still a lot to like about myself. That the lie I had been buying is that I was too far gone to come back to God. That I should give up trying to be a follower of Jesus. I made the first step at church this past Sunday to bring Jesus the Christ back to the center of my life. I am so thankful that our Father God never gave up on me. That I can still become the man that so many people have told me I could become. I am lifting my eyes to the hill cus I know where my help comes from! My help comes from you LORD, the all mighty Creator of all that I see.
