Stranger on Earth

I love that title. A stranger on earth is what I strive to be. So often I sell out to the ways of this world. Why? Partly boredom, partly because I heed advice of fools, and partly because I am flawed. I am sick of those excuses. I never want to be considered an "eartly guy". Where is the joy in that? For when I pass, I am not taking any of these earthly possesions along with me. I have been fed all my life by the ways of the world trying to tell me what true success is, what real happiness is all about, yada yada. The world has no idea. I have a Savior in Heaven who does though. I want to be a part, a vital part, of His Kingdom. I am tired of being a resident of this world, before I know it I will be gone. I just want this to be a training ground for when I meet my Maker. Alright God, I'm all ears. Speak...

Open my eyes God that I may see wonderful things in your law. vs. 18.

I get in these spiritual ruts and sometimes I feel I am walking blind. God, open my eyes and keep them open so that I might not miss out on something truly great.

I am just so glad that my eyes were open when I met you Katie. Never before was I so close with God when you waltzed into my life in that cute purple shirt and skirt and our trip to, of all places, the Dallas Bull- ha. God had something wonderful lined up for you and me last June and it was each other. Now a year later, I want my eyes to be wide open so we don't miss out on something spectacular. Let us delight in His promises and rest easy and know that He is in control!

God, we pray for tomorrow as we speak to the Senior Class youth group that you will give us peace about challenging this group and give us the tools to bring your message clearly. I am excited about doing ministry with ya tomorrow morning babe. It's really one of my favorite things to do. I love you! Here's to a long and eventful day tomorrow. Social butterflies.

love,
Daniel
