{Something More?}

There has to be something much more to this world than waking up, taking a shower, throwing clothes on, gathering your stuff, getting in your car, going to work, going to lunch, going back to work, getting off work, getting back in your car, going home, and then going to bed to start the day all over again. Work is also interchangeable with school. It seems that for some reason that is the cycle that my life consists of during the week.

Through my journey of life I feel like there is so much time wasted that it could be invested in something else. We go to work to make a living for ourselves/family but when does all of this become to much?

God has given us this short time here on earth to worship him with our lives and why are we not sold out to it 100%? Is it because we are content doing the same things over and over again. We buy things we think we will enjoy but months later it is no longer enjoyed like it was when we first got it. There is meaning to this life and we do have a purpose... Why are we not living our purposes?

It is my prayer that you think about how your life could be different as I think about it with my own life today. There is something that I need to do that I am not doing. I don't think that I communicate about God with everyone that I come into contact with and if I did then how would that change my life?

I want to! I desire to!

{verse for the thought}

Philippians 3:13-14

No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven.

[I want this verse to be more apart of my life everyday. I want to focus all my energies on this one thing. Forgetting how I failed yesterday and press on to what lies ahead. I want to strive to show more and more people the face of God. I want to shine bright for Christ.]

{Shell & Me} -Photoshoot

A journey that two can go on is a journey that needs plenty of time. Shell and I are going to be united in 26 days and this is going to be one of the best days of my life. It always seems like we can never spend enough time together and it seems like we never want nights to end. At the end of every night I get to take her back home and I have to come home a lone. These 26 days are ones that we will remember the rest of our lives!

What does a couple do when they first get married? What are things that a couple that strives after God do and how can they make the biggest impact they can for the kingdom? That is two of the biggest questions I have right now. We want to leave a mark on this earth that will leave an imprint that says only living for Jesus Christ is what really matters. At what point in your life do you surrender it all and let go of all that you have held onto for so long. Life is so short and short lived and if I am consumed with all that I have... what have a gained? Nothing... I want to start my marriage completely surrendered to God and I pray that he will use Shell and I together to leave an everlasting impact on the kingdom! When I close my eyes at the end of the day I want to know that if I never wake up again I have lived my life to the fullest for Christ!

Shell if you read this please know that I am excited about living the rest of my life with you! I can not wait to start this journey with you. Forever and a Day! I am thankful to have such a Godly lady to walk by my side and hold my hand! Thanks for loving him and for putting up with me!
