Forge #1

Who are you? What are you doing here?

I am a man who has been called to service, but I fell inadequate to fulfill that role. I am a man who is searching for fulfillment and love, but I spend too much time looking in the wrong places. I am a child of God, but I do not live up to that name and calling.

I am a man who has spent his whole life putting his confidence in things he could do, abilities he had. I am a man who takes too much of his identity from the words and opinions of people around him.

I want to be more than that -- I want to be strong, I want to be faithful, I want to be . . . I don't even know how to say what I want to be. But I know it's more than what I am right now.
