Because first of all, statistically, it hasn't been all that long. Like two months. Which some may say is long, but most people blog a lot less frequently. So anyway, let my ramblings begin.
I feel that I have come to that point in my life (although I think it's been at that point already for a bit, I'd say 2 years), where the "middle" part of my life has passed. Even though I'm still in my mid 20's and it's more like I'm passed the first "quarter", I'd call it the middle, because frankly, everything after you get married just looks like one big chunk, and everything before is the piece that precedes marriage.
I originally got this idea from the Lion King. This dude starts off as a little cub, walking around, doin damage, etc. He meets Timon & Pumba, and then a montage happens where he crosses over that "middle" section. Apparently his teen years are so unimportant that all he does
is sing and dance with a meerkat and a warthog, and suddenly he has a big majestic mane and grows into adulthood. When he meets the girl, and beats up the bad guy, he becomes king, and the movie is over.
I think I beat up the bad guy in my life already. I know what you're thinking. But no I'm not saying that I totally rid Satan's goals of destruction over my life and that I'm holy. What I am saying is that the thing that has kept me from moving forward and taking my position
in life, fell off a cliff and was eaten by hyenas. I can finally go where God wants me to go, and be the man He wants me to be. Whether it means leading a worship team for an awesome
congregation in Jersey City, or king of the jungle with the elephants and baboons.
And now, there's the girl. Who I'll be marrying in May, and is by far the most beautiful person I have ever known, and is the best zebra hunter on the savannah. Somehow I'm more in love with her every day, and as the day of our wedding approaches, I can't help but be excited to see where else God will be taking me as the loving husband and priest-of-the-home I know He's called me to be.
So as you can see...
My middle-part-movie-montage-in-the-jungle-with-the-dancing-and-stuff
is over.
...
Now comes the sequel, right?
