Chasing After My Dreams

Today was a very special day for me. I got to go back to Cultivate Church and visit some old friends that I hadn't seen in a few months. I also finally got to meet someone person who I had only had the joy of talking to online.

I few months ago I realized that God's calling in my life was to become an slementary school teacher. I knew I had always wanted to do something that invoked kids but I didn't know exactly what that was. Finally I heard God's voice telling me that I was to be a school teacher.

I was very scared, but knew that this would be a big faith building season in my life. So I put my full trust in God and set the wheels in motion to start the schooling I needed to reach this dream of becoming an elementary school teacher.

I start school on August 15th and while I'm still very unsure of what I'm doing I fully believe that this is God's plan for this season of my life to make this dream come true. And even if I fall flat on my face at least I know that I gave it my best effort and that God has something else in store for me.

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

~~~Jeremiah 29:11

You Came To My Rescue

Just when I'm feeling as low as scum and as far away from God as I possibly can, he somehow pulls at my heart strings and breaks down the wall that I'm building between him and me. I don't know how he does it. It's truly remarkable the power that God has to get to you when you feel all alone and like nobody cares. But he does. He cares.

I don't know why when I start feeling overwhelmed by life, I pull away from God instead of running to him. I draw into myself and put as many walls as I can between myself and God. And then in once instance he blasts them to bits and my heart of stone melts in his hands. That's how I know I'm truly loved. Even if nobody here on this earth loves me God does. He always comes to my rescue when I need him the most. Thank you LORD. Thank you my God. Thank you for loving me when others don't.

I Miss My Brother

There are some songs that when you hear them they take to back to a certain place, time or person. Well I hear this song tonight and every time I hear this song I think about my cousin David. The song is 'If I Could Be Like That' by 3 Doors Down.

David was 2 years older than me. He was like the older brother I never had. We were very close. He was killed in a car wreak in 2002 when he was only 17. It's really hard to believe that it's been that long ago. I miss you David! I can't wait to see you again someday in Heaven!

The Girl I Love

There's a girl that I met just a few months ago but I feel like I had known her my whole life. I instantly fell in love with her. She's so wonderful. She's truly a beautiful person inside and out. But the most important thing about her is that she loves God and it really shows.

I think about her constantly. I dream about her. I love talking to her and being able to spend time with her when I can. I really believe that she is the one for me. I wish I could tell her that but I can't because she's already in a pretty serious relationship that is just ripping my heart out.

The dream I had about her last night was amazing. Her boyfriend (which I have never met in real life) did something to her that made her cry and I saw it and it really upset me to see her crying.

I went up to that jerk and told him what a big moron he was and then he punched me in the face, knocking me down.

I knew it was a dream because in real life I would have been down for the count and then after I collected myself I would have started swinging. But in my dream I didn't. I didn't feel a thing when he punched me.

I just picked myself up and told him that he needed to change his attitude or he was going to spend his life alone. Then I went over to the girl and told her how I felt about her and her tears of pain became tears of joy and she hugged me so hard I thought I was going to break. But it was the greatest feeling in the world.

It just kills me that it was only a dream and not real life. The only thing I can do is to continue to live my daily life for God doing the things I need to do and hoping that one day soon I will get the chance to tell this girl how I feel about her. Until then I'll continue holding true to this picture.

An Angel Sent To Rescue Me

On January 29th, 2011 I met someone who I can only describe as an Angel sent down from Heaven to show me the love that God has for me. This person knows who they are and I've told this person and let this person know many, many times how much they mean to me in my life and how I don't know where I would be without this person in my life.

This Angel came down when I had just moved to Cullman and really needed a friend. Someone to love me and show me that God had not forgotten about me. Someone that to this very day continues to show me God's love for me. I cannot begin to express to show my love and appreciation for what this person has done for me. The new doors that this person opened in my life.

This person has allowed me to grow so much over the course of the past year but there is still a long way to go. I really wish I could do something for this person to pay back what they've done for me. But I can't. All I can say is thank you my friend and Angel and I love you friend!

I'm Back!

I have been away for a long time! Much too long! Well now I'm back and better than ever! Hope you all enjoy my blog where we'll talk about all kinds of things but mostly sports and life. So I hope you all enjoy reading my blog.

Thank you, Big T
