2 Tim 4:1-5

Liar (get this on a tee | make your own tee | get this on a tee at the European store | get this on a print)

Currently, this applies to a few people.

2 Timothy 2:22

“A name is better than good oil, and the day of death than the day of one’s being born.” -Ecclesiates 7:1

I turned 22 yesterday. It’s hard to believe a whole year has gone by since I turned 21. I think the whole stigma that goes along with being “an adult” has finally started to kick in. I am no longer a adolescent. I have been through a lot in the past few years. Honestly, I feel like I had to grow up quicker than others. Part of me feels like I never want to get older, while another part is begging for it. I realized I need to stop living in this limbo between ‘what was’ and ‘what if’. It is time to move on to ‘what is’ and ‘what is next’.

I am determined to break out of this ‘woe is me’ mental state and start being more proactive. I cannot change certain aspects of my life. At 18, I had to move out of the house where I grew up into an apartment half it’s original size. Two years later, my parents divorced after 28 years of marriage. All of this when I was trying to build a relationship with Jehovah. Satan seemed to be out to get me from the moment I became an unbaptized publisher. I am now in the middle of my 2nd year of Regular Pioneering and he hasn’t stopped yet. If it is not my personal life it is my fleshly and physical weaknesses. Sometimes, I feel like the Apostle Paul at 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, “Therefore, that I might not feel overly exalted, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan, to keep slapping me, that I might not be overly exalted. In this behalf I three times entreated the Lord that it might depart from me; and yet he really said to me: “My undeserved kindness is sufficient for you; for [my] power is being made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast as respects my weaknesses, that the power of the Christ may like a tent remain over me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in cases of need, in persecutions and difficulties, for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am powerful.”

I realize I wouldn’t have been able to make it through the lowest points in my life without my relationship with Jehovah. As I grew spiritually, I better understood his will and purpose. There is so much chaos in the world today. Everyone has problems, but no one seems to have effective solutions. I have the ability to offer someone an answer from God’s Word the Bible that can bring them the same comfort and hope I feel. How could I ever turn my back on that opportunity? There isn’t enough money in the world that could provide me with the same level of happiness that I get from preaching and teaching. I am not ashamed of my decision to enter into the full-time ministry. I will never have a lot materially, but I will always be content knowing I am doing all I can in my service to Jehovah.

I will not let anyone keep me from reaching my goals, even if that includes myself at times.

After what I ate today, I wish I could only eat, like, a bean.
