I live. I am human. I am a teenager. I am a guy. I live for something greater. I struggle with the basics. I groan at the usual. But I keep living to do what has been asked of me.
You can call me Speedy.
I'm here to reach out to the ones I love and care for. Once in a while I'll get sentimental, or deep, and probably blog something like it.
My life has simple aims, and a difficult path to them. I deal with it the best I can.
I am Speedy. I am Christian, but do not fear me, for I will love you regardless. I guess this is the chance for anyone who cares, to see the depths of my mind, and everything it holds, dark or bright. Happy or sad.
Read my thoughts or leave them, they are yours to criticize.

This is who I am!

I’ll walk out this Kingdom not as a duty but an honor.
Now called a son, I’ve been set free from the slavery of sin.
And when I fall, I stand in the face of darkness and I say:
This is who I am!

My father has freed my past, present, and future.

He doesn’t see what I see, He doesn’t see what you see.
He sees my destiny and calls me to be a son.

This is who I am, in the midst of a firefight; You’ve called me a son.
This is who I am, by the power of the risen death and what You’ve done.
This is who I am, all I’ve been and who I’ve become. Oh oh oh…
This is who I am, who I am: I’m a son! …who I am!

Who I Am — Life In Your Way

brandonleow:

A lot of times we complain about carrying the burden of the cross…

We suffer hardship and persecution…

A lot of times we allow the devil to deceive us…

Thinking that we can do it our way…

Taking the easy way out, shortcuts…

But remember this,

That God allows us to go through these circumstances.

He is moulding us,

Shaping us,

To be more like Him.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?“
 -Matthew 16:24-26
