Ecclesiastes 12:1
Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, “Life is not pleasant anymore.”

It seems that as I get older the years tend to go much faster. Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall of each year seem to pass buy faster and faster. The hustle and bustle of the days and weeks and months seem to cause me to forget at times about my Creator and what he has done for me. There are times that I am so busy that when something good happens I fail to give God credit for making it happen.

There are certain times when we as humans and Americans especially call out to God. Normally, it is when there has been a disaster. Or it is when a disaster is going to hit and people are praying for mercy. Any other time though they go about their busy schedule and do their own thing. They place God in his little box and put him on their shelf until they might need him again. God wants to be a part of everything that we do. Will you allow him to help you throughout the day or just sit on a shelf until you have a catastrophe?

About Me

I am a former soldier in the United States Army. I have deployed to Afghanistan once and to Iraq twice. I feel that I have been called by God to serve Him where I am and to do it joyfully. This can be hard at times. This blog is not about where the Army has taken me but what I read in Scripture and where God is taking me along my spiritual journey. I hope that you will glean information from what I write and will be blessed as God blesses me.
