I could take the approach of seeming well articulated as well as intelligent, however, in true blog type format I will spell and act like a 12 year old new to Xanga.
Soooo wut it dew? I’mma tell yew bout how I izz….
In all honesty, I love life. I consider myself fairly laid back and drama free (minus those plays I was in during high school). I am 20 years old, I work at Cantina Laredo (a gourmet Mexican restaurant) in downtown Fort Worth, I spend lots of time working, sleeping, and maybe doing something productive like sowing. My family is the most incredibly supportive and loving group of people I know. I have 3 brothers, one is in the Army and currently in Iraq, the other is a GM for Quality Chevrolet in ATX, and the other is a kindergarten teacher. I am in my 4th semester at The College and have every intention of graduating before my 10 year high school reunion. I am currently concentrating on Christian Ed. because God has given me a heavy conviction over not only what we teach, but how we teach within the church.
Though there are many experiences and stories I could fill pages of this blog with, I will be subtle and punctual. My testimony is basically this: At 16 I chose to leave my parents house. In looking for somewhere to stay my friend Eric offered up his house, little did I know that his dad was a pastor. A series of events led to me attending church with them by my own free will, as they just loved on me to death. In hearing the Truth preached Sunday after Sunday I came to a faith in Jesus Christ. I don’t know when the sun came up, but I know it’s shining. God revealed to me many things and eventually called me to the ministry putting me here at Southwestern.
God has shown and given me more than I could ever have desired.
The only experience I wish to share is when the most influential man in my life gave me this: “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.” Philippians 1:3-11.
“I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.” Phil. 1:20
This verse defines my life.
P.S – I ran this through spell checker 1000… if there are any errors, it’s the program’s fault.
