A smile on my face

I cannot help but sit here and smile when I think about the place I am at in life right now. The changes in my life have been genuinely brought about by God alone, and yet I have so much further to go. I strive for godliness everyday, day in and day out. I always been blessed, but by letting God direct me and utterly control every dot and tittle of my life has brought about blessings that I never thought possible. I continually pray for a boldness that I have never had before to make sure that when someone comments on my 180 turn in life that I can ultimately point it back to God. I have a much greater passion than ever before for my God and my Savior and for everyone to share the passion that I carry. I finally have a small idea of what Francis Chan feels for the lost and unsaved. I want my passion to continue to grow and flourish through my every being. I wish that I could just spread my passion through osmosis by the shaking of a hand. I want to lovingly smack people over the head and shed tears as I describe the greatness and glory of my God........my Father! I literally stand in awe at times when thinking about how undeserving I am of this grace and lovingkindness. I look forward to the day that I have kids to share with them this passion. I look forward to one day having a wife to guide in the ways of Christ as well. I pray to continually grow as a godly man and to never bring the ones around me down if I were to ever stray from the path. I pray that I man never forget what truly matters in life. May nothing diminish this hope and love for my Father!
