Today…

Ahhh….I love my wife….what a wonderful day today is. The sun is shining and the breeze is so nice and refreshing. Man…I wish I could be outside all day. That would be awesome! I remember when I was a kid skating from sun up till sun down….that was such an amazing time in my life. If I could go back in time I would do it all over again. I know that now that I’m older I am definitely feeling the consequences of all the falls I took but you know…..it was worth it. Sometimes, when I’m in pain (which is pretty much all of the time) I think to myself, “Greg, why did you do it? What made you like skateboarding, and hockey, and all these physical activities that one day would leave you needing a chiropractor like 24/7?” Haha…..I don’t know….I know that God allowed it to happen for His purpose though cause now when I put in my hour a week or so I get to be an example to the kids. I get to see them go, “WOW!!” when I strain to pull that sweet flip trick to grind from back in my glory days…Haha! I love to see those kids faces light up……that really makes me feel joy inside. I pray that if it’s God’s will that He would open a door for me to minister to children. I don’t know if I ever want to travel the world doing that…..wait…what am I thinking! Of course I would love to travel the world!! As long as my wife is right there with me though I will be just fine. I would also like to be a minister through hip hop talent God has given me and Sam. Sam is my younger bro, who has gone through more things than most people dream about or see on TV. We’ve been doing music for a long time and it would be great to join up with him again and this time truly represent for the Lord. Does God want me to do this? I find myself so confused sometimes because I have all these things I want to do but I don’t know which one to concentrate on!! It’s frustrating! I think….well I pretty much feel that my body is telling me, “NO MORE SKATING!” but I love the sport. I never want to stop doing that. But I need to think differently now. I have a family…a beautiful wife that needs me just as much as I need her and I need to make sure I’m here to take good care of her. I just need to pray that God would show me my true purpose….and I need to read His Word too. Lord, show me Your purpose in life. I don’t even know if skateboarding or hip-hop is what You want me to do but use me Lord. And help me to not be afraid of what’s to come in my life. I get scared sometimes that I won’t live long or something bad is going to happen but I know that You are in absolute control of my life. Thank you Jesus for all that I have. I thank You for this wonderful day. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
