I've been thinking about the phrase "Center Of Purpose" alot lately. It mainly started out in the mountains of Colorado at Nationwide Youth Round-up (NYR). The main theme of the week was center. What do we place at the center of our lives? That week weighed heavily on my heart and I examined myself and what i put in the in the center of my life. Ive created this blog for myself to hold myself accountable with what i place at the center of my life. Ive been looking at all the junk in my life that i have placed in the center and its time to get rid of it all and place Jesus Christ in the center. The center of my thoughts, actions, focus, heart, mind, body, and soul. I am striving to become a better Ambassador for Christ and a great example for my youth kids...and even the adults in my church.
 
I've also created this blog to hold myself accountable for what i like to call "Remodeling the Temple." What i mean by this is fitness. I havent been a very good steward of this body i have been given and its time for a change. Its not how i look but my future depends on it. I have a niece and nephew that needs running around with, so many opportunities for friendship through sports, and even a longer life that needs lived. I would ask that you would pray for me on this journey im taking. Its going to be hard for me to change, mentally and physically but i know this is what needs done. Prayer and encouraging words...honest words are what i need. I will also pray for anyone else journey they may be taking.
 
And with all this being said i leave you with this quote.
 
The purpose of life is a life of purpose.
