Start from the End.

You will move mountains.

A wise man once said that to me. At the time I did not know what he meant and I still don’t think I do. He said this is what God is calling me to do. I come from Bigfork, Montana, so I can appreciate the magnitude of that expectation. The mountains that surround my home don’t roll away into the sunset, they tower overhead and block out the sun. These blue giants stretch father than any eye or telephoto lens can capture. They taunt humanity, they wait for an adventurous soul to enter theirs valleys and climb till the not one piece of civilization is in sight. The mountains try, through storms, dark nights and the similarity of every tree and ridgeline, to devour you. The idea that I will hold the power to shake and move these beautiful giants are beyond my understanding. I long for the day when I turn around and see a lone peak moved to a place where I commanded it. The only way I can see this happen is by moving forward and opening my life to God to be moved and shaken. I cannot fulfill my potential staying in a stagnate routine. I must satisfy my itch to travel the world like Paul and James, and affect the masses.

              “I am done sitting around to be the best Christian I can be. I want to go out and make the best of the time I have been given on this Earth; so when I get to eternity I can look back and know I did my best and that I did it well. I want to serve God and make my Father proud. I want to work for something that will stand the test of End Times.

I am not working to be like Jesus, to just sit with Jesus in Heaven. I am working to become more like Him, to show Him to the World. I trust His call on my life to go out and be a disciple of the Nations. I will move mountains. I will be like the men of the Bible who affected the masses. And He will be with me”.
