Intentional living
There is more to our story than this, is all I could say the day we walked out of the high
school graduation party for one of the young men who had been working and living with us for
the past three summers. As we were leaving he grabbed my arm, gave me a hug and said “If it
weren’t for your family I would not have known what it was like to sit down and eat supper as a
family. Thank you for showing me I can do more with my life.” It was in this moment we
realized God was doing more than building fences through our business and lives. It was in this

Each day a part of our legacy is written. Not knowing how many days are left gives a
sense of urgency to live a life intentionally rather than going through the motions. Planting seeds
of integrity, hard work, determination, honesty, compassion, and most importantly love into our
lives while embracing the many seasons of life. Currently, we are in the season of growth,
growth in our family, growth in our business and now growth in my education.
The time has come now to move into the next chapter of the adventure, college, again!
With the many experiences I’ve encountered over my short time I know when the Lord opens a
door to be great we must weed out the good and step into our greatness without fear. I am
excited for this journey and the many ways we will be used to build the kingdom here. Our story,
our legacy, our adventure, will continue to grow because to tell of our story is to tell of His and
there is far more to our story than
One warm summer morning my sister, dad, and I were sitting and watching T.V. and my best friend’s dad called and invited us over for the weekend. He said
It was such a comforting smile, and so persuasive that you believed him instantly. “I can’t leave you all alone, like mom and dad did. I promise I’ll come back.” You watched him leave, your smile never faltering. He’ll be back.
As we enter a new Church year and the season of Advent, the time is now to prepare our hearts to more fully experience the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We must rid ourselves of those attitudes and behaviors that prevent God from making a dwelling place among us. Let us take to heart the words of Jesus and “…stay awake! For [we] do not know on which day [our] Lord will come.”

This is not simply an autobiography. This is a narrative centralized around my yesterdays and the effects the choices of my past have had on my todays and tomorrows. This is a literary progression encompassing the results of fifteen years of life, and a celebration of the possible outcomes of many more to come. This is a tale of failure and the immense growth that resulted in recuperation. This is my story, how I learned to carve my own path, to not be simplistic, to withstand conforming to the binding standards of society, and to be the definition of excellence. This is an account of my life, so far as I can recall it.
When the story of our lives is completely written our gifts may be found less credit for our success, and it will be understood that what set us apart is the incomparable quality of courage.
Then, just to make sure, the baptism is reenacted. The heavens open, a voice speaks:
I first heard Him speak one word to me. Torment. Then the Holy Spirit revealed to me that it was

There have always been times of special significance in human history. Kingdoms rise and fall, rulers come and go, wars rage, and nature is capricious in devastating storms and eruptions of earth and sea. Historically, the common man is scarcely aware of the great sweep of time beyond the daily routine of his life, and the inevitability that he will someday join the ranks of his ancestors who have passed on before him.
I have spent hours in the prayer closet, seeking His will…praying for wisdom way beyond my years and discernment concerning this trip. Begging for direction and revelation. Earnestly seeking truth.
If I don’t try for greatness, even going against the odds, I will never know what my full potential is. If I fail in trying, I will learn lessons from my failures, and try again or try a different path. However, I don’t want to be comfortable living a just okay life without attempting excellence, even beyond my own limits, and illustrate Oscar Wilde’s “tragedy.” We must live fearlessly to have a meaningful
