Am I Something?

Last night was one of the most incredible nights of my life. I have the privilege of serving as the student pastor for Thompson Station Church. I often wonder why God has chosen me as a messenger. I am so unworthy and dirty, that I often, and I mean often, wonder why God would even consider me. Even this morning, I have battled impure thoughts and ideas. Yet, I walk into the office and look at the list of students that got baptized last night and are waiting to be baptized and just simply want to weep. God is so good to us. I look at the 14 students who are committed to the Lord their everything last night and it makes me realize that all the trivial things I worry about...money, fear, anxiety, who's saying what, and on and on...doesn't matter. Or God is so good to us that He brings glory to himself even through our faults...wow!

A few years ago, a very good friend of mine told me "If I consider myself something, then God is not my everything. If I consider myself nothing, then God is my everything." Oh God, please break me to where I can see you more and more every minute of the day. God, may my heart be where your Glory dwells!!

My hope through this new blog is that I can bring hope to those who are hurting and feel alone in life. My hope is that everyone that reads this will see that our King is beautiful and mighty. He can take everything in your mind and slow it down and can make your heart beat with peace.

Last night, 12 students organized our Wednesday Night Live services and they were incredible. We had students leading worship, students serving as message illustrations, a student painting, a student spilling his guts of his wandering away from God and back, students describing what being cove(RED) by the blood of Christ means and students praying and reading scripture. It was incredible.

It is humbling to serve alongside people for one cause. It humbling to think that God would choose any of us to serve for Him. HE DOES!! God can take you and make you into someone of Great Power, Great Authority, Great Compassion and the list could go on and on.

I love serving our King. I am beginning to actually believe the way I sign my email: Believe the Impossible. God, increase my faith!
