You are almost there.

You are almost there.

God wired you up in this strange way for a purpose.
It’s really not strange, it’s on purpose.  

Embrace it.

Pick that one thing that you constantly think about and polish it.

Focus on it.

See what kind of amazing person comes out on the other side.

God doesn’t want you to be the best at everything. God wants you to be the best at the thing you are wired up to be. 

Will you keep choosing to try to be like that other person? You’ll fail. Do you like failing? Me neither.

Choose to push forward and be the person God wants you to be.

You are almost there.

I admit, it’s a tad busy on the iPhone, but I think it’s still worth having the awesome reminder. Thanks Carlos!

When we began talking about what we wanted to do to honor MLK weekend we started with his famous speech. As inspiring as it is, it seems that we often miss the genesis of it. When you dig a little deeper you realize that much of his speech isn’t his own, but instead came from the ancient prophet,…

Other than seeing people find a personal relationship with Jesus - this is one of the most awesome things to be a part of with my Church family. Giving people clean water in India…so awesome. Love the video, love what it shows this church is doing!

“Deep in his heart, every man longs for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. That is how he bears the image of God, that is what God made him to be.”

On Monday I decided to take a trip to downtown Detroit. Websites like Detroit2020 have gotten me more excited about taking the opportunity to explore the great city and state I live in. It was fun to just walk around downtown, enjoy the awesome architecture, some time to myself and snap a few pictures on my way. Hope you enjoy them!
