Above all else I pray that I glorify Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.
Something that brings me joy more than almost anything else is listening to people who actually live this out. Not only in separate parts of their lives, but their entire lives. All of it. And they are able to say "I've done this. I've been obedient, and I have spiritual fruit because of it." I want to learn from those kind of people. The ones that are so desperate to be close to the heart of God, and have developed burdens from listening to God's voice, even when it's difficult.
They have experience that I pray to one day have for myself. I want to seek first the kingdom of God. More than myself, more than my family, more than my friends. And however hard that is, I want to trust God every step of the way. I can't help but be overwhelmed that God has asked me to help him bring his children back to him. It's a huge task. And it will require a lot of surrendering. But I'm up for the challenges that lay ahead.
