NATE ON A MISSION

The Man In The Mirror

As I look back in the mirror and remember 2010, I have mixed emotions. On one hand, it has been an excellent year, but on the other it’s been a big internal struggle with life. I had a few firsts that I am so excited that I got to be a part of. For the first time this year I got to meet a handful of people that I met online. Even in this day and age, for some people that’s a crazy thought. Not for me. I LOVED it. Guys, seriously, it was honestly one of the best things that happened to me this year. I first got to meet the person that pulled me into this social media life, Alece. Thanks to her, I was able to meet close to 30 people this year that I had never seen in real life before. It has been a beautiful thing. Within the first week of 2011, I will add close to 10 more people to that list. hooray! In February I was able to take a trip to Mexico City to visit a friend there, and soak up everything that I could in 10 days. It was everything that I could have imagined. God is definitely giving me a heart for His people.

Last but certainly not least, I held the same job all year. It may seem like a little thing, but no small feat for this guy.

It’s been a crazy year, but God is using it to grow me. I’m continuing to make my faith and relationship my own. I can see that slowly but surely I am maturing into the young man that I need to be. YAY! Go God!

Blessings to all of you as you head into the new year!

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:11-13
