This is the section of Strive4Impact.com, where you can read, every day, something I wrote since I was 13 years old (1993).  Some of it's adolescent angst, but some of it is quite good, and I hope you'll agree.  What are we up to now? Currently, my wife and I are traveling the world and blogging our experience.  We may have been somewhere you would like to go, or maybe we could come to meet you?  Either way, you may find our reviews and advice helpful.  Check it out at http://www.CarrieAndJonathan.com

Let me carry out your purpose for me

January 16, 1994
(Jonathan is 14)

Who am I to deserve you? You do so much for me. I can only hope and pray that with what I'm about to do in the upcoming months, I will begin to repay you for all your gifts to me, but especially the gift of life. Help me to respect you and not disgrace or embarrass myself by sinning.

My main goal in NET (National Evangelization Team - a church retreat) this year is to relieve my sinning. Help me to also be able to express you to my group leader. I pray that individuals and the group as a whole will feel a call to you during the NET retreat and that they will continue to build on their faith throughout the retreat.

Jesus, let me carry out your purpose for me without being intimidated by other people telling me that it's not okay. Helped me to be the person that you and I know I can be, and to the person that we want me to become. Help me to establish and maintain a constant link with you that I listen to inside of me. "My challenge is to make you reside within the other People's body walls, so that this world will no longer find walls around caring, compassionate people. Nothing will hurt this body when it is one. Not the sharpest blade or finest tipped bullet will cause it to be hurt."

Help me to make you a winner to others as they search for their life's ambitions, and helped me to help the future. "Here I am Lord, I am ready to do your will. Send me."

Peace always, from your friend,
Jonathan Kraft
