Need More Wick
First blog post should probably be an introduction, explanatory post right? Well let me explain. I love what my life is. My story has been filled with battles & peace, destruction & rebuilding, excitement & more excitement, laughter & tears, heros & heroines, but most importantly relationship. The past few years of my life I've decided to be a "yes" man. I had no idea the people that would be put into my life via this decision. But it has been awesome! Talk about how life is supposed to be lived - in relationships. However, my "yes's" have also meant a lack in time. I Need More Wick in the candle. My mom says I burn the candle at both ends too often, and she is probably right. I've got to learn the balance and the 'right'ness of a "no" as well. As I move forward as a teacher, a musician, a friend, a brother, a son, and a youth pastor, I want my candle to burn bright for all. I guess that means, being able to blow it out and let it rest from time to time and let other candles shine on me.

First I love the boom box in the background, very nice. I have been burning the candle at both ends for years and it stinks truthfully. However when you are less than 30m it is better than over 50, which I am not thank god yet, but we have to make the most of our time. Good job, Rob.
ReplyDeleteThanks rob! i'm sure the "candle burning on both ends" is done by so many these days. It's a cultural thing to have our plates full. Even the kids at school are booked with events and activities. it's a hard way to start life!
ReplyDeleteStay with it Isaac. I run around like a mad man a lot also and when I get burned out I just remember that we are the type of guys who wouldn't have it any other way. When it slows down all of sudden you have this free time and don't know what to do with it. Good luck to you and keep doing the Lord's work.
ReplyDeleteScott, you said it perfect. We are the type who wouldn't have it any other way. I appreciate your post.
