I realized today that I have to be the one that is always right. No matter what the subject, I have to be the one who is right. Is it so wrong to want to be right? Or am I just displaying my arrogance when I need to practice being humble? There really is nothing wrong about being wrong...(ugh that came out bad), but anyway I ws reading about Cain and Abel, and realizing that I shouldn't be right all the time, and I can't. If I am right all the time, how can I be forgiven? I am given opportunities to be humbled so I can grow from my mistakes. I am also realizing that there is a much bigger purpose for me (but I haven't figured that out yet).

Today was a harder day for me (temptation, the temptation). Luckily I did not give in... It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I know this post is short but I am exhausted from school and getting everything in my life back in order. I think I am just going to call it a day and give thanks for being given the strength to deal with these situations. (by the way still going strong in Genesis)

So I have been reading in Genesis(trying to stay with the "theme"). I have always been familiar with the Genesis story of the 7 day creation, but never really thought much on the subject. If you really think about how amazing, powerful, and awesome our God is to create everything we see here; it is absolutely mind blowing. I have been really thinking on this subject today and it has made me realize two very important things: 1) My God loved (and loves) me so much that He would create me, unique and special with a plan just for me. 2) He never stopped creating! He just rested on the 7th day. His work is never done, He loves me and He is going to keep working and living in me.

So this is my humble attempt to finally do something worthwile. I have been given a enormous oppportunity...To completely make a 180 and impact people around me, at school, at home, in dating, in friendship. I am in no way, shape or form a biblical scholar or the best example of what a man of God should be. I am simply a young man, who wants to be a better version of himself for the Lord. This blog is not my way of giving advice, or to say "look at me I am a Christian". It is rather a method for me to reflect and hopefully may the impact I want to have. So, I am starting with the basics (not taking back prior commitments because they were meant at the time and still are). But I feel this is essential for progression, so with inspiration from other friends who have set so many examples for me I will give my daily accounts, triumphs and struggles in my walk with Him.
