A Quarter Of A Century Ago...



So last week i had a milestone occur in my life, and as a result of that milestone i can now say that wisdom is coming my way. Having spent the first twenty five years of my life learning and trying to retain pertinent information on life and my purpose here on earth, i am a quarter of a century old and not sure what the next twenty five years will entail. Though i am still learning and will continue to learn for the rest of my life, i do believe that i have acquired some wisdom in regards to certain things and plan to use my "wisdom" for good. does the fact that i can grow a sweet fu man chu mustache count towards my acquisition of wisdom? i say yes! There is much to ponder upon as to the outcome of my future, will i travel, move to another city, start my career, finish college, find a girl to put up with me? I have no answer to any of this, but hopefully God does. i have no control of what will happen since i am surrendered to God's will in my life, and though i am given freewill to make choices, unless i feel his movement i will be immobile. i was asked by a friend what the most significant thing i have done in my first twenty five years was, and after much thought about it i came to the conclusion that my trip to Ukraine's capital of Kiev. I went there to serve God and reach out to others and share his love with them through helping them to improve their english reading and speaking by reading the bible and having conversation about what they thought was going on in the stories that we read. will i ever get to experience that kind of service again in life, see the world and its amazing history, love strangers with God's love? only time will tell. what will your next quarter of a century bring you in life?
