Okay ..... so moving forward to today (and tomorrow) ......
Again yesterday, Pastor Jay was doing Sunday Services, and, just in case what he had said last year escaped Malcolm's memory, Chariots of Fire and that awesome line ...... God made me with a purpose, but He also made me fast ...... was used in our latest teaching series.
With Malcolm starting his Freshman year of High School, soooo many thoughts flood my mind. More than anything else, I am so excited for him. He has such a solid plan and is rock solid in his goals in how to accomplish them. I know there may be bumps and hurdles along the way, but I believe that using all of those glitches as teaching moments will help him grow and progress even further along the way to achieving what he has set before him. He constantly amazes me!
The great thing about where he is right now, and where he's trying to get is that as awesome as that line from that movie is, yesterday they showed the clip in church, and what the actor actually says is this:
God made me for a purpose, but He also made me fast; and, when I run, I FEEL HIS PLEASURE!!!!!!
How stinkin awesome is that????? And what a revelation?????
From a year ago, Malcolm being afraid that if he played football, he wouldn't be able to act ...... he is now in a place where he understands that not only is God okay with him doing multiple things ...... HE ENCOURAGES IT!!!!!!!!
Yes Mal!!!! You can play in the NFL if you choose!!!!!
Yes Mal!!!! You can be an actor!!!!!
Yes Mal!!!! You can be a collegiate wrestler at UVA!!!
Yes Mal!!!! You can be a State Science Fair Champion!!!
How awesome it was for me to be able to look my son in the face and tell him, that the hopes, dreams and goals that fill his heart were put there by God, and, as long as Mal continues to honor Him and do his part, God will absolutely bless him with the manifestation of those hopes, dreams and goals!!!!!
Feeling His pleasure,
Kalena Believing
