TeenShip - Four of My Greatest Heroes

Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Mar. 23, 2009 - Four of My Greatest Heroes

I would suspect that some of you guys were wondering who might be my heroes in life. Well we all know that Jesus is number one; but these guys are my earthly heroes.

The newlywed guy to the far right is my youth pastor. He is a big inspiration in my life because of his caring heart and loving God is what he shows most about himself. He is always up to the task, ever so ready to roll out. The greatest thing about him is that he’s not super strict about everything but he’s laid back and always has a desire to have a good time.

Then the young gentleman to the far left is my landscaping boss. Just the way he looks in this picture is the way he acts all the time. God could not of had blessed me with a greater boss than this guy. His ability to run a business is extraordinary; because of his deep love for God he is the nicest man to work for. The moment we first met we thought that we were long lost brothers and we have been hanging out and working together ever since.

And now the third hero that is just to my left is my pastor. This “Man of God” cannot stop preaching the TRUTH, and he will never stop, praise God. This is the man who gave me an acting part in the Christmas play and allowed me to speak on one Wednesday evening. He also let me become an usher at the church. Because of his passion for Christ, God has blessed him with an AWESOME church to shepherd. He is by far one of my greatest encouragers.

And last but not least, my greatest of all heroes; the one I love the most, the one who has always been there for me, the one who I am crying about right now; is my father. Yes, the man to the right with very little hair on his head is my best friend. I’m sorry, but I cannot tell you all the great things he has done for me because it would take more than just one entry. This is the man who led me to Christ, to become a born again Christian. He also baptized me. He brought me up to where I didn’t have any desire to date, that I should wait for that Beautiful, Smart, God Fearing, Brave, Pretty, Loving and Caring Christian young lady that God has waiting for me. My dad brought me up to love good, to love America, cars, baseball, guns and most importantly, God and His word. Ever since I was a baby to this day he will come to me and say, “Gabriel, there is no one in this world who loves you more than your mother and I.”

Those four Great, Godly Leaders are the men that I want to become.

The TeenShip series will start again tomorrow.

Hi :) Really nice post. Sounds like God has really surrounded you with excellent men.

RYC: I actually didn't get my first award until after I'd been blogging for *months!* But I get the feeling, because you're so actively involved in other blogs, commenting, etc (I wasn't for a while) that you'll become known quickly and will probably get awarded before too long :). There are tons of awards going around in the blogging world. It's very fun.

Thank you for praying for her... we do record the sermons, but actually, to be honest, we're a very small church and don't know a whole lot in that area; we record them onto a computer, and usually try to edit the sermons... but everyone's always so busy that that doesn't always get done. But that is a good idea, thanks. :)

Did you notice my new template? ;) I spent hours working on templates last night; I really enjoy it.
