Part 1

Not made for this world…..

Lyrics by Mercy Me

Dear younger me,

Where do I start? If I could tell you everything that I have learned so far, then you could be

one step ahead of all the painful memories still running through my head. I wonder how different things would be.  Dear younger me, I cannot decide. Do I give some speech about how to get the most out of your life or do I go deep and try to change the choices that you'll make because they are choices that made me. Even though I love this crazy life, sometimes I wish it was a smoother ride. Dear younger me, If I knew then what I know now condemnation would've had no power, my joy my pain would've never been my worth, if I knew then what I know now.  It would've not been hard to figure out what I would have changed if I had heard. Dear younger me it's not your fault, you were never meant to carry this beyond the cross. You are holy, you are righteous, you are one of the redeemed. Set apart a brand new heart, you are free indeed. Every mountain, every valley through each heartache you will see. Every moment brings you closer to who you were meant to be. 

Signed your friend, older me. 

Time's up!!!!

Warriors in Prayer- Like a wave…

Warriors in Prayer-Like the Wave of the Sea... A few months ago, I heard a song with a lyric that caught my attention - empty prayers. I couldn't help but think back on my prayer life. How many times had I prayed to you, God, out of obligation, going through the motion without sincerity or consideration of the honor of whom I am able to petition to? I became a man who would approach the throne of the Almighty God, offering empty prayers. I was the praying warrior tossed by the waves of James 1:6. I became resentful when always being asked to pray at events and family functions. I started slipping more and more in my prayer life, convincing myself that I wasn't gifted in prayer, so I excused myself from it. When I did pray, I became more than the demise of the praying man described in James 1:6. My mind became affixed on Matthew 6:7, best translated in the CEB translation, which reads, "When you pray, don't pour out a flood of empty words as the Gentiles do." I bec...
