I Want to Follow

Ten years ago, when this picture was taken, I wanted to follow God with all that I had. This is true today too, but it is so different at 29 than it was at 19. I know longer want to be a United Methodist bishop some day. I am not a student. I want to be a writer. The desire to write for God and for education is overwhelming.

If you would have told me all the places I would follow the wrong motives, I wouldn't have believed you. Had you postulated the difficulties I would be facing, I would have been defensive and hurt. However, the truth is when I haven't followed God my life has gotten messed up. The truth is only God can give me a path worth following.
