My lifespan is not even the length of a vapor of smoke’s life span. My life won’t even be a crack in time.

To live is Christ and to die is gain.

Here forward I will let go of all of my emotional suffering and pain. I will let go of all the vices that no longer serve me. I will take more risks and not less risks.
Worry be gone.

What unfaithful people think be gone.
Fear be gone.
Judgement be gone.
Regret be gone.
Satan and temptation, be gone.

Jim Rohn once said that life is risk. If you try for nothing, it is a risk. If you try for something, it is risk. Either way, you die.

Jesus says that we are all given “talents”. We can bury them and not risk anything. Then, even that was given us will be taken from us. We can also risk our talents and go for it. If we succeed we will be given more. If we fail, we will be given more to try and try again.

I’m all in. Going for it.
What else do I have to lose? What am I afraid of?
Go for your dreams. Take the risk.
I promise you that you will be laughed at, ridiculed, mocked, your sanity tested, and your abilities doubted.
And it’s……..glorious. It’s glorious when in your own heart you know you do what you do unto the Lord.

I came from what the world calls nothing and I’m going back to where I came from so while I’m here, I’m going to stop worrying about failure. I’ve gotten used to it.
And somehow, though a failure in many people's eyes, I have a feeling that somewhere in the ether world that my creator smiles upon me.

Come quickly Lord. Help me imitate your boldness, your love, your empathy, your faithfulness, and your positive speech.

I love you Holy Spirit. Guide me. Show me. Redeem me. Prepare me a table before my enemies and I will give you unceasing praise. Your ways are higher than my ways, so if it’s not your will in this present age that I be promoted, that my wife be promoted, that my family be promoted and that my beloved Shibboleth family be promoted then I will praise you anyway. Give me wisdom from above to make right decisions and take Godly risks.

Thank you for this day and this unforeseen opportunity to meet new people in this beautiful place. I expect to meet people who you are using to show me the next path forward.

Praise the lover of my soul, Jesus, forever. I know you love me Jesus. I draw nigh to you.
