LOL

So I am blogging. Thanks Amanda.
But this being my first one I should say I'm not that great of a guy, but what makes me great is God. He fills me with this desire to be better. Not necessarily a better person, but in a better deeper relationship with Him, who gave me this desire. I do struggle a lot (and I mean alot) with being a better person. I want the nice house, the job security, and to have my dept paid off. I tell myself that its so I would be free to do what God want for me. But in reality I would be simply putting God in this box. 'I can serve you and bring you glory, as long as it doesn't cost me too much, and I still have the respect of those around me.' Being a senior (but only a junior) at Huntington only makes this worse. I love the campus, and know a ton of amazing people on it. But I just know them. Very few do I know deep enough for them to do anything more than just think of me as that cool youth ministry major guy who seems to know everyone (and put his gum on the podium in Ek).
This is the conversation between Amanda and myself on facebook. It's obviously why I'm here.
Me: Bobby is daring to dream
Amanda: dare to go to bed
M: lol, i tried that. was thinking too much. then looked up some stuff, and now am dreaming of being "that guy"
A:..who the heck is "that guy"?
M:the guy that gets his homework done, reads (and finishes) good books, has time with God, has time for God, treats people he barely knows like old friends, has so deep of relationships that someone can see right through me...literally loves God with all his heart, mind, and sole, and loves his neighbor as himself..
A:That's beautiful, Bobby, I like that a lot. :) I wanna be that guy too. Let's do it!

    So how can you do this? What's your first step in making this a reality?
