The Ring...
So I have come to one of those points again. I getting even harder and harder to wake up. The days seem to drag along like a barely hitched trailer and I am just along for the ride. Ever felt like you where surrounded with people that you will never be like? That is how I felt last night a little. Then realized that none of these people deserved what they where going to put on there finger. I was like salvation, it was a free gift that we could never own. Each time that I look at it I do not get some huge ego boost because I have it. I am humbled that I even get the privileged to touch it. Not that I am worshiping the ring I am honored to be apart of what it stands for. To become part of the rank that is striving to live an honorable lifestyle. Now I am not saying those who wear the ring never mess up or fall on there face. They realized that failure is a part of life. That only with the power of Christ could we ever conceivably hold to the standards of honor, integrity, discipline, and leadership. So when I put the ring on I will be committing to not only a lifestyle of honor but to get back up off my face when I fall. To always trust the Lord no matter what life comes. This internship is not for quitters. Not for people who will never mess up or fall on their face. It is for people who want to really become a true Christian and follow Christ with EVERYTHING. Not just a little here and there, but all they have. The more you let God use the less Satan has to pull you back to yourself. The more you become self-less the more you grow in godliness. So I guess I am preaching to myself again. To not give up that it is getting even harder. To look back at all God has brought me thought. To worship at the alter of past conquered sins and circumstances. Don;t give up this is just the beginning. The battle is daily...the War is eterna
