My Life Layed Down for the Sake of Jesus Christ

As many have gone before me and failed my goal is to be the opposite. I have every intention of making this my last walk. As I  plan on making this my last walk it is also my first. To sum up all the lessons I have learned through the days I have lived it can easily be said that I live to be against the standard. I thrive on knowing that most of which I set out to accomplish has either not been completed or wasn’t successful on the very first attempt within those that surround me. I have been privileged to have had two older brothers and loving parents who cared enough about me to keep me from the mistakes they made themselves. Through it all my parents, yes at times separately, both chimed in to keep me under their provision. All of which was to get me to this point. The point of complete independence. What better way to celebrate independence than with all of the individuals that guided me into this place of absolute bliss. 

I am beyond grateful for the prayers, hugs, tears, and even scoldings I subjected myself to throughout this journey. I give those credit who at times probably hated every fiber of me but gave me another opportunity to live out His purpose. I believe this next statement to be truer than most of what any pastor has ever spoken to me: “sometimes it takes a village to raise a child”. Well despite the population of the village that raised me I am glad someone spent the time they did with me. 

This is for anyone who ever gave me a second,third,etc opportunity to sit down without hurting! I honestly wouldn’t be here without every one of you! 

Who is someone that you have met that is famous? or Infamous? …completely random place, not at all expecting such a person to be and *BAM* there they are, there you are!

I work at two different apartment communities both not known for housing the “well known” but it has happened that I have come in contact with a few neat people. First is PGA golfer Michael Thompson. He actually called the office and needed his sponsored Ping golf bag to be shipped to Tucson,AZ for a tournament the NEXT DAY! He was desperate for me to come through in the clutch. It was neat to be able to help someone who would otherwise not need it.

Second is this band: Within Reason their page withinreasonmusic.com
The lead singer is the one who lives in one of the communities and is actually a really cool guy. Having met him a few times in the office and through multiple conversations just being around the guy makes you want to support their music. So GO have a listen and enjoy NEW music!

Enjoy!
