There is no doubt that God’s loving hand has been on me throughout my entire life. I was blessed to grow up in a home where both of my parents and each of my four older brothers and sisters had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Several members of my family were in vocational ministry and I was determined that this would not be the casefor me. I decided during my teen years that I was going to be the “successful” member of the family and that I would serve the Lord by being the best businessman that I could. However, my definition of success was based on theworld’s perspective rather than the Lord’s. When I was a senior in high school, my father passed away in a rather abrupt and unexpected fashion. The death of my father was a life changing and somewhat defining time in mylife. God used this pivotal situation in the years to follow to alter my view of “success.” Through an incredible journey, the Lord was able to penetrate my hardheadedness and help me to see that “success” for a Christian is not defined by how much one is able to gain in material wealth or social influence. He revealed this to me by placing some key people in my life who demonstrated that a healthy, vibrant relationship with Him was not something to be taken lightly, but rather to seek after in diligent fashion. This relationship catalyzes the desire to introduce other to Him so that they can experience the same abundant life that has been extended to each of us. God is still teaching me that true “success” is utilizing what He has given me to influence others for His glory. Ironically, what I can not imagine doing anything different vocationally other than ministry. I thank God for allowing me the honor and the privilege to serve him in ministry. Knowing and loving Him as we demonstrate His love to others in the moments and matters of every day life. What a ride!
