The first of many

While I sit here watching the end of the Bears game, I finally took some time out to evaluate how my walk has been after a week of school. I was also able to just look back at what I thought in high school and just stare in amazement at what God has paved my life to be. First off, I would have never seen myself at Purdue and neither did I ever see myself having to transfer from Purdue shortly after. Ever since being in college I've also realized just how blessed I am to have a family like mine and to have parents that just support me so much. To be able to provide for me and not having to worry too much about money or how we're gonna get by. Also being at Purdue really opened my eyes on how corrupt the world has become. I always had a feeling that things were gonna get bad just by seeing what they allowed to be shown on TV and in movies. However, never would I expect such a large university with a so called "zero tolerance" policy to do next to nothing about the underage drinking. Sometimes I just look at America and i shake my head in shame. Don't take this the wrong way, I love America and the freedom we have to worship our God freely. However, for such a powerful country our reasoning and moral standards are pathetic. We create rules and regulations in hope to keep our country on top yet when you look at our youth, I'm sad to say I have little faith in them. before I can worry about that though, i must start by working on myself. To be honest I haven't done a devotion since summer ended and my prayers with God have not been too frequent either. I know this school year is going to be hard and I know there are going to be many obstacles in my way but I hope that being a leader this year and with the help of God, I'll get my act together and be the man that God has called me to be.
