Stretching

It's been a long time since I posted in here, and for good reason. Combining being super busy and more busy, I have done nothing but grow and learn about what it means to be a man. It's frustrating to fail and mess up, but it's how you take the correction and discipline that has a stretching effect on who you are. I must rely on God to give me all the support and "water" I need, because when I'm surrounded my pruning sheers, I know growth will be inevitable- but that's not what I am to focus on. It's the Love and comfort that only Christ can give in times of need and pain. He alone will help you more than all the other things we want to run to. It's a choice, always has been, always will be.

God told me one day "Stretch more" and I thought it was for exercise reasons, which it may be, but I realized it was more for me to reach further into God, into my circumstances, and not be terrified. So I continue to do that which God has me to today, walk in obedience, grow, and pray.
