I am early in my story, but I believe I will stretch out into eternity, and in heaven I will reflect upon these early days, these days when it seemed God was down a dirt road, walking toward me.

In so doing, we die to our broken natures in exchange for His perfect nature, and find unification with Him that will allow God to see us as one.

If the point of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation.

Dying for something is easy because it is associated with glory. Living for something is the hard thing. Living for something extends beyond fashion, glory, or recognition. We live for what we believe.
