My Personal Goals

1960 Words8 Pages

The calling God has placed on my life is one I never thought I would want much less actually have. God has called me to be a pastor, more specifically a lead pastor of a church. Quite the task but one I feel God is preparing me for and has given me all of the tools necessary to do. The calling to be a pastor is not one I question any longer. Summer 2010 was when I felt God call me to one day be a pastor. I fought and argued with God over that calling for a couple of months and finally surrendered because I could not fight it any longer. Later on this was all confirmed by family members and friends once I began to talk about it. It was a settled issue. Ive been in some type of ministry for almost seven years now. College ministry while I was …show more content…

I value the deep relationships I am able to develop with certain people. There are three specific people that have known me for various lengths of time and each hold a special place in my life to where asking this of them is nothing and something they are already doing. Those people are my dad, James Love, and Alex Johnson. My dad has been a pastor for over thirty years and has been there for every step of my life, the good and the bad. He wants to see me succeed in the calling God has placed on my life. He knows what it takes to be a pastor of longevity, have a family, and lead a church all at the same time. I want to do all of those things as well and I know I have my dad as a well I can draw from on those areas and also can come to him with any problems I have in life because he has proven true to help and encourage me along this road of life. My friend James has helped me through so many things in my life. When things go awry I know I can count on him to being me back down to earth and make what seems like a crazy situation one that God will smooth out and take care of. He, as being a seminary student, is a wealth of knowledge for me on life and on ministry. He has seen and experienced a lot of what I have which is what drew me to him as a friend in the first place. Plus, we are so alike in our personalities that when I cannot see what is going on or why I am acting a certain way he can always call me out on it because he in turn would have acted the same way and knows whats going wrong in me. My friend Alex has been such a constant for me in the craziness of life. The times when I just want to get away from it all and need to vent or just leave the world behind I know I can always count on him. Alex loves Jesus but he is not in the ministry which is amazing for me. I can go with him and just talk about life, sports, outdoors, and go do something and just have fun. It is such a blessing to have my life surrounded by

    The idea of God stayed in the back of my mind, but I have recently learned that the back is not the position that God should hold in my life. Missions are an area that my church is very passionate about, so we supports and participate in them every year. The church members always advocate for the yearly summer mission trips, and after going on my first mission trip to Boone, I became an advocate as well. I love working on the mission fields, so I try to go on as many mission trips as I can. In 2015 I went

    I knew at that time that I wanted to serve the Lord forever, every day. At the time though, I thought that being a missionary was the only way to properly serve the Lord, so I researched constantly. I read books about Mary Slessor and Richard Wurmbrum, and reading in depth analysis’ for books of the Bible became my hobby. The only catch I could find however, was the fact I had always had the desire to do something musically, something I later found out was possible. After around a year of this missionary research my mom got remarried and moved to live with him.

Since I was five, I have always wanted to be a neurosurgeon as a result of an experience in church and my love for helping others. I vividly remember an experience in church a long time ago where I had asked my mother what was wrong with the boy in front of me who seemed to be acting abnormal and my mother had told me that the child most likely had some type of cerebral problem. At that moment, I declared, “One day, I am going to help people like him so that they can live normal lives”. If that isn’t a sign from God, I do not know what is.

My long-term goal is to inspire the next generation of researchers to develop computational methods and optimization techniques that would help in creating products to aid differently abled people. I believe that making small changes to the design conceptualization methods will have a great impact on the efficient design of products. I believe that choosing a career as a professor will be a cardinal step towards reaching my long-term goal. Being a professor is the best platform for developing knowledge on computational design by doing what I'm truly excited, namely, learning
