I’ve been married about two weeks now, and I figured I would do a post highlighting the already important aspects I’ve learned about marriage, my wife, and our relationship. Believe me, I am no expert but I think these three points will definitely have an impact on your life.
All throughout our lives we give ourselves reasons to why we can’t do things. When we get really honest with ourselves, most of these reasons are actually insecurities, creeping in to break us down.
1) “I’m not tall enough”
2) “I’m not smart enough”
3) “I’m not fast enough”
4) “I’m not old enough”
Although some of these points are things we can’t avoid, God has given us the power to conquer all things in which He has called us to.
As a Christian, I believe some of the easiest traps for me to fall into are the ones I have personally set for myself. Sometimes, the hardest things for me to overcome are usually the walls I have personally built with my own hands. And sometimes, the hardest addictions to conquer are the ones I have sub consciously self-inflicted upon myself.
1) He/She must want kids.
2) He/She must be a Christian.
3) He/She must want to work in full-time ministry.
4) He/She must love the movie, “The Notebook.”
5) He/She must love taking long walks on the beach.
Sound Familiar?
As the smoke begins to clear and the number of wounded begins to grow rapidly, it’s easy for us to start wondering who was at the bottom of the Boston Marathon bombing.
As I write this post I am awaiting to board my flight, and I am on my way to speak at Texas A&M University. As I am watching the news headlines, all of a sudden nothing else matters to me except the lives that have been taken by these bombings. Even when I try to take a moment and pray for the people affected, all I can think about is:
All throughout scripture, we see Jesus using broken people to share Hope to a broken world. He didn’t use the popular, rich or successful, but rather the, poor, broken and faithful.
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done, or who you use to be. God can use all people for the good of His will.
