Recently, I've been thinking a lot about life. About my hope's and dreams. And what i will become in the future. I think every kid has gone through that phase and come up with what they want to do with theyre lives. Ive more or less chosen what I "so called" would like to do with my life in future. But my pondering's were far more deeper then that. As most of you know im 19 years old. With less then half a year away from turning 20. Now I kind of understand why adults are less then enthusiastic when theyre birthdays arrive. It's a time to evaluate the past year's good and bad's and to plan more goal's and changes in the year to come. Well for me it took some time to realise that this was the end of my teenage years and the Beginning life of a Young Adult. My desire's for the years to come are'nt so great compared to other peoples maybe. But it's my hearts desire to become a mighty man of God. I want to be that pillar in my cellgroup and section. That will encourage and build them up. I want to be the person that no matter what time of day or place, people will call me up to pray alongside them or pray for them. In the future I would love to be a cell leader. To equip people and send them burning aforth. To stir theyre fire until its equally as bright or brighter still. I want to be a blessing to my friends and my brothers and sisters in christ. I want to support them up and stand by theyre side's no matter what! I want to act as a shield or Mediator, to absorb what ever blows upon them before it reaches them!
I thank God for the numerous prophecy's over my life. I thank God that I WILL become a mighty man of God! God's gift over my life is really awesome. God is so ironic. The gift of exhortation is a blessing. Ive had so many opportunities to help friends in need, and even strangers, and yet the joy of knowing much later that you really helped them out during theyre problems is uplifting. I thank God for my broken childhood. I wouldnt change a thing. It really took me a long time for God's word to sink in that I wasn't alone in life. I always had him nomatter what. God's hand has always been in my life. From the emotionally devastating break-up of my parents to my birth, when i nearly died. I only survived through it all through God's amazing grace. I wouldnt change a single thing that has happend in my life. If I did, I wouldnt be the same person anymore. I know that in going through my time of trial, He will deliver me!. It's pretty disheartening I admit that I realised there was nobody I could ever rely on! Parents , friends, and such. I could only rely on God and his promises. I know when i face tough time's it will never last. And i give thanks for it. For i know that these are time of training upon my life. I read a cool article about Steel the other day. That it has to be refined over and over again in blazing searing heat til it will become strong. That is what God does with us. He tempers us with trials to make us stronger and stronger so we can fulfil his will upon our lives. Just like how David was refined through trials in the old testament. So shall we. It takes a broken life to minister to another! Only a person that can true'lly relate can efficiently understand what problems another is facing can patch up that life. Im glad for all the trials that I've gone through! Im anticipating all the future trials. Because I always know I have my back covered. I know I will make it out alive. One of the greatest things ive ever heard is "Most people when faced with problems will ask God to remove it from theyre lives, Ive learned that when facing problems in life, I wont ask god to remove them! But I will ask God to give me a stronger back to endure them and to look forward to His promises"
