Strength

My true strength doesn't come from within. It comes from the Lord above. The Lord is the one who has gotten me out of three personal hell-like states and is trying to get me to snap out of a fourth around this time. The Lord is the one who has gotten me to get to where I am physically right now. The Lord is who I credit with genuinely creating an environment where I am able to make and keep many friends that have genuine caring attitudes about me and to whom I trust and shall not fear. The Lord is the one who got me to the point in education that I am. The Lord is a lover of my successes and a forgiver of my failures. Even more than my Mom and my own experiences, the Lord has gotten me to where I'm at today and has gotten me through six and a half years in customer service, twenty-seven years in education, and twenty-two and a half years as an athlete. The Lord turned an uncoordinated gangly freak show like me into one of the best male dancers at Boise State and definitely one of the most frequent. The Lord has gotten me to a great apartment complex with lots of support. The Lord is the most forgiving spirit ever created. In the fourteen plus years of claiming Christianity for myself, I have seen plenty of changes, but the Lord is the crux of it all. My strength comes from my spiritual leader and that is why I am who I am largely today.
