Who I've Chosen to Be.

I will not simply live my life for money, which, when translated, simply means I will not simply look for a job that pay's the bills leaving me with a little extra, buy a nice house, and strive for the perfect life.

I do not want to have the perfect life. I have chosen to not simply live a life for the mundane, for happiness. I will change my world, happy or not.

I'm about to make a very pompous, seemingly prideful statement.

I was made for greatness. I was made to change my world. I was made for such a time as this to grab the baton and win this race. I was called, chosen, hand-picked for a very specific purpose.

We are pressured to find a job that will pay the bills as quickly as possible, to get the best education you could get, to obtain as much wealth as possible, and to accomplish as much as you can before you die. And than you die, and all is forgotten.

Well, I say no. Actually, I say Hell No.

Now, the struggle I've had lately is that this pressure is becoming overbearing. To be a little personal:

I am not where I'm supposed to be. The employment I currently have is not what I'm supposed to be doing. The internship I'm currently involved in is the first step, and this is what I want to pursue. Not my current employment.

I have been called. My name has been added to the "Full Time Ministry" category. I will not give up, I will not be shaken or moved from this promise. I was made to do the work of my father.

I will work in full-time ministry, even though all the odds are against me.

Now, imagine, knowing what your called to do and how to spend the borrowed time God has given you on this earth and being pressured to do something else, to simply find another purpose.

Well, my answer to all of the nay-sayer's, to all of the unbelievers is Hell No. I will not accept that. And I will change your life, your world.

This is my life.

An eternal sacrifice. Without treasure.

I'm an effect without a cause.
