Each person has a
Goal
My main goal is to become a minister in a LCMS church somewhere in southern
America, close to where my family lives. You see, I am only thirteen, and I have
a long bridge to cross, and right now I am waiting to cross the gap. I feel like
I should be doing something but I can't. The thing is, we can. Prayer is one of
the best things we can do at our young ages. I pray continually in my life, not
as much as I could, but I pray a lot still. One thing I have to say about prayer
is that you don't need to pray so continually that it takes up your life. When
you pray, you always ask that God's will be done. Why? Because we don't tell God
to let us win that pet show, we pray that he does what he thinks is
right, and you always know the outcome is what was meant to be! This can take
the worrying out of people. Children, teens, and even some adults are afraid of
storms. I know I am, but there is one thing that comforts me. Knowing that if I
am meant to be okay, then God will protect me, and if I am not meant to be okay,
then I will be with God. Throughout my life I've had several brushes with death.
A tornado rushed half a mile from my home, ripping up a farm shed and a bunch of
trees, but it never hurt anyone. I was riding with my brother once and we had a
tall pole in the back of the truck, and just before it happened, he realized
that the pole had almost pulled down the powerline, which would have therefore
become a livewire and killed us all. These weren't serious times, but they could
have been. Millions of people have had much worse times than these. But
yet some have lived. Why? Because God gave them a special purpose. He protected
each survivor because he needed us.
