Sometimes I Wish

Sometimes I wish my life was different, a little easier maybe.

I wish that I could just go to class, study, and waste numerous hours playing video games, watching movies, and playing guitar instead of feeling like at any moment, my last ounce of strength is going to expire as I tirelessly do my best to make Christ famous.

I wish that I could pursue MY dreams and MY goals instead of what God has planned for me.

I wish that I could get a degree in business or something practical, settle down, and get a job after graduating so that my friends and family would acknowledge and be proud of my “success” instead of feeling like I never live up to others’ expectations for what my life should look like.

But God’s called me to something bigger. Instead of being just another ordinary guy leading an insignificant life, He desires to use me to do EXTRAORDINARY things and to lead a life of SIGNIFICANCE.

So I’ll continue to press on. I’ll continue to do my best to lay down my ambitions and give up my desire for approval from others. And in the end it will be worth it. I only get one shot at this, so why leave anything on the table?
