Crushed and disheartened this high school dropout decided to pick himself up and dust himself off. It started with one step, but I kept going. I kept putting 1 foot in front of the other, Moving towards the end. Where the end lives I have no clue. All I know is this - today is not promised and tomorrow is behind us. If I stop moving, I stopped living. Therefore I will keep walking until I reach the top... wherever the top may be.
With God by my side and my wife pushing me on there there are no limits to the challenges I can overcome or the hurdles I can jump. I Have a beautiful family and faith on my side, so stopping is not an option and I will keep striving for new heights.
Today marks the beginning of a journey that I've been terrified to start. I have a story, and it is one I think that needs to be told. From dropping out of high school to thoughts of suicide. From losing my father to losing everything I've owned. I went from having it all to having nothing but my faith and family (which is the most important anyway). I thought I was on top of the world and have crashed down to lows of poverty. But, through it all my faith grew stronger and my mind mightier. I may not know where every punctuation mark goes or how to write like a grammatical scholar, but I'm going to do just that... write.
This blog starting from here on out is going to be my journey. My journey to writing my first book, my journey to always keep striving for a better me, and a better future. Ultimately, it is about striving to get closer to God, and bring others closer to God as well. Not only for a better me, but to help influence others to become better themselves. In the end everything is about service, so I'm hoping to make this blog as beneficial to you as it is for me. Being able to come here and write my feelings and hold myself accountable is an amazing thing. I just pray that what I lay down on these pages can somehow touch you, and ultimately make your life better. And my prayer is that you see God's love through this blog and what he has done for my family and myself.
The journey starts here. The journey starts now. August 23, 2010!
