There has to be more to life then what I'm living. Theres gotta be more then this daily routine i call life. I feel like i let so much dictate the way i see God. I get so busy on the things we are supposed to do. Rather than the things God wants me to do. The world says you have to have a 9 to 5 respectable job, you have to get married, have kids, own a new car, and buy a house. If you have these things then you have it made. Guess what ? thats not me. I'm not cut out to be a routine type of guy. I feel like God is calling me to live a life thats uncommon. To have a faith thats uncommon. to have love for others thats uncommon. when i am on my death bed many years from now. i don't want to look back on my life and say i played it safe. I cant and i wont. God is challenging me each and every day to get out of my comfort zone and do the miraculous. I'm done putting expectations on God. i'm done doubting the power we have in Jesus Christ. I'm done apologizing for my faith. I want to be open to everything god has instore for me. I want to take leaps and bounds in my belief in Christ. I want satan to fear being in my presence bc the power of the Holy Spirit is so strong that he cant take it. I want uncommon. I'm leaving on a mission trip this January. This next year will be the hardest, most uplifting experience of my life. i will live and eat with people that have nothing. I will try to be a uplifting and encouraging to these people that i come in contact with. God wants to do crazy things in my life, and He will. It starts now. Not when i leave for my trip, but God is preparing me now to be a light where there is darkness. I'm a very broken person. I have been through a lot, But its weird that i feel like i'm getting stronger and stronger as life happens. God is about to open the flood gates and i cant wait. God Bless.

I can't wait for my trip. I'm ready to get away from my life here. I'm ready to see the world and experience new things. I know that on my trip I will be challenged. i will see things that I might not be able to understand. I know that i will become a stronger person from this trip. I kinda feel like Ill find myself through this trip. I have always known that God is going to do great things through me. I have been waiting for years and i think this is the beginning. i will be doing a lot of different ministries. I believe that God is going to show me Himself like i have always wanted. He is going to show me exactly where He wants me. I cant wait to meet new people. I know that God will use me to put a smile on someone's face that hasn't smiled in a long time. He is going to use me to perform miracles and change people's live that i come in contact with. God is already there preparing the way for me. All i have to do is be faithful. So thats what I'm doing, and through partnerships from friends and family. that will partner with me pray fully and financially. Someone asked me how in the world are you going to raise that much money. And i realize i don't have to. God will provide through loved ones. Its might be a hugh mountain in front of me but to God its nothing. Beware satan bc you will tremble in fear every mourning that my feet hit the ground. For God is about to get all crazy up in here!!!

About 4 years ago someone told me I should do missions. My response was yeah(really it had a few choice words in there too). I never wanted to leave my home. I really never wanted to leave Nashville. I always thought that why go around the world to help people when i can do it in my own back yard? I was so selfish and didn't really care about anyone else but myself. I went through the trail of my life and God just started to break me. I lost the one thing that mattered the most to me. I lost my everything. Then one night in my small group we watched the "Invisible Children" documentary. it was watching that film is when God opened my eyes. I just remember being so pissed and hurt for these people. In some way i could relate to their pain. That is when god gave me a calling to help those in sex trafficking and child soldiers. I wanted to go and help get these kids out of this crappy situation. Go and steal them back from this army. I was at a point in life that i just wanted to do something crazy. I also looked into smuggling bibles into countries illegally. To be honest. I felt like if i was going to commit suicide then why not do it trying to help people? Ive come a long ways. I feel like that calling was always there. I just couldn't figure out where to go to do this. I waited two years. Trying to find mission work that would do something crazy. While looking for that I found The world race. Its been kind of a God thing. I'm ready to go.
