For some reason tonight, as I was about to go to bed, I found myself in prayer...but it wasn't just any prayer, it was a prayer of brokeness, and repentance.

Recently, I heard from my pastor that as a church, or even as servants in church, it is so easy to get wrapped up in the "doing church" thing. We get comfortable with where we are and what we doing, that we forget Who we are doing it for. It must always be for God.

As I was praying, I found myself confessing sins, habitual sins that hinder my walk with God. I found myself broken, as I was speaking with my Maker. As I continued praying, God convicted me. He showed me that I need to rid things in my life in order for Him to make the righteous man He has called me to be. He reminded me of my need to depend on Him to get through everything, to give it all to Him.

God is so good, and He has blessed my life so much.
He gave me a great job, that eventhough it stresses me out sometimes, I love doing it and I love working with the kids and hopefully making a difference in their lives.
He gave me amazing friends, that I love so much and that I so blessed to have in my life to daily encourage me, to walk with me and to learn from them.
He gave me a wonderful church that I am so blessed to be a part of. He has blessed me with a great pastor that has literally adopted me and made a part of his family.
He gave me a great family, great parents that I love so much. He gave me my brother and sister, that I just totally love so much.

But most importantly, He gave me my Salvation. He sent His Son to die for my sins, He gave me the greatest gift of all.

My prayer is to be a man of God, to be a TRUE man of God.
