When you grow up

I was recently asked what I want to do when I grow up, which is funny because I am 34 and still not considered "grown up". Of course if you know me that makes sense. Anyway, what do I want to do? I answered this in my usual awesome fashion and responded "Superman". I have always wanted to be Superman (and not because I get to wear those kick butt tights) because I have always wanted to be extraordinary. Who wants to be normal?

Without even thinking about it I hit what life with Christ is all about. Man, my life is anything but boring. My life has been dragged through the crap in life and I am still standing here praising God for His goodness. That is extraordinary. How many people do you know that would give more praise to God after cancer? Or after wanting to commit suicide?

The truth is that there are a lot of people who don't get the "God" thing. They don't get why I am a Christian. My answer to them is this, "My life is extraordinary." After depression, possible suicide, and cancer I can stand before you and tell you how awesome God is and how much joy I have. My belief in Jesus has brought me nothing but good things, even when the bad things happen.

When I grow up I want a life like that
