proverbs 17:2
birth doesnt necessarily determine ones future. regardless of where i started out, whatever advantages are born to the "sons" can be balanced out by diligence and faith and righteousness on behalf of the house servant. the inequalities can certainly be compensated for!

being from an immediate family without physicians, ive certainly had my share of struggles in acquiring medical experiences but God today im ever more grateful for what i have because i know with absolute certainty that God made it all possible, and i cant help but defer to God in awe of those blessings.

now, i know thats very concrete in how ive observed this verse already in action in my life. and i would like to think ive worked hard along with God's spirit on my side. the other thing though is in my spiritual life. though i started off not much better than a peasant, pursuit of God and a relationship with Him is the key to developing a bond and intimacy with the character of the Lord. ive made progress in the arena (though its not nearly enough yet to satisfy), and this helps me to see that i _can_ actually know God better. with Him, anythings possible.

in an effort to make a conscious endeavor right away, i will be doing tomorrows blog tonight. thats the only way to grow, by preparing my heart for the next day ahead--not by looking backwards. by stepping up and forward.
