The Grind

Hello all who care enough to read this! First off, thank you for reading these posts, and reading what I have to say because it all comes straight from the heart. I just have a passion and a heart all for God and spirituality. I enjoy as well as trust in my heart that my calling and my purpose in this life is to help, and make an impact in other people's lives with God by my side. I trust in him that this is my calling, but there is a lot that comes with this calling. One thing is other people. People in my life look at me, and question my motives, my beliefs. Then they mock my faith saying that their is no such thing as what I believe and what I do is ridiculous in this day and age. Another thing is Satan himself. He uses my past, my previous life and previous way of living to bring me down deceive me and make me feel like I am not the kind of guy anybody would want first as a husband and second as a spiritual leader anywhere. That is the grind that I go through daily. That is my daily bread that we pray in the Lord's Prayer. That is what the Lord fills me up enough to overcome each and everyday. Then some days more things are thrown on my plate. For example, Wednesday night I was supposed to lead youth group at my church. Well that day I got a migraine and didn't do the middle school youth group in the afternoon, but was still able to do the high school one that evening. Because of all the migraine did to me I was not 100% I felt like utter crap, but I did what the Lord was calling me to do even though Satan threw a wrench in the whole thing.

That is my daily grind. I do not know your grind. I do not know what you go through in your life, but their is more to this life than breathing and going through the motions. I don't care what you live for. If you live for others, sex, money, approval, acceptance, and anything else that will try to satisfy you. All I know is that Christ is all that has ever satisfied me. My heart is full of love, and ready for anything that comes at me because I know that it is all for my good and for the glory to God. I will praise him through any storm. Amen.

And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
