Colossians 3 : 23 - 24

"Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for people, knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve."

Everything I've been enduring; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (1966) has been for my benefit. I've had many of hardships along the way and missed opportunities caused by reasons inside and outside of my control. I admit that my stubbornness at times caused me to travel down harder paths and sometimes even astray but I've always overcame and learned from my mistakes. I don't doubt for a moment that this is what I was destined to do and I strive to do so diligently. God has had favor over my life even when we disagreed because at the end of the of everyday it's always been His way. I lost a few friends dedicating so much time and effort into making my dreams my reality that I can't even dignify it as a loss because like the scripture says, you're not responsible for pleasing others nor are you obligated to. Do what pleases you giving all the glory to God and you will be blessed beyond measure.
