I know that God is put me on this earth to do great things for him and his kingdom. But how do I know that I am in his will? How do I know that the path that I am on is the right one?
I am not completely sure...but this I do know that I have to take a stand and take hold of my life with and through the power of Jesus Christ.
CPT Scott Smiley was blinded in Iraq as a result he hated God in the aftermath of his blindness. He said he was so angry at everyone and God. But one day he saw that he had to take a stand. His life and been torn from him...the life he had known and the life he was accustomed to. He had to take a stand and with the strength of Jesus step up and life for Christ.
He talked about going to west point and how he felt that is was all right and he felt like he was at home doing the will of God.
I feel the same way. When I am here at west point leading men and women I feel at peace at home. I know there is nowhere else on earth I would rather be then right here sitting at my desk as the A1 company commander. Even when spend 2 hours on passes or hours on an issue that should have taken minutes. I love it. I know (I think) that I am making a difference and I am where I am meant to be.
I was called to lead people I am not saying I am any good at it, I have a lot to learn and there are many many people who could do a much better job than me but I love it even if I am not the best man for the job. I am doing what I love and I love what I do.
