Reflecting on my 20s and F3’s role in my life

This is my last day in my 20s. Over the past decade, my life has changed and evolved drastically. Some of the big, definitive things that come to mind from this decade for me are (in no particular order):
— Graduating college
— Graduating the Knoxville Fellows thanks to G-6
— Finding F3
— Going through an excruciating coming out of Egypt season
— God calling me back to sonship and inviting me to be loved by Him and accept His grace and mercy
— Losing friends
— Losing family members
— The hardcore pursuit of the military and the mourning of that season and fight coming to an end
— Professional flailing
— The global pandemic
— Going through severe depression and isolation
— Investing into lies vs. truth
— Addiction
— Redemption
— Restoration
— Finding friends that I can call brothers
— By the grace of God, creating a new family with my wife Megan
— Waged a brutal war against my flesh
— My hard-heartedness slowly being chiseled away
— Re-introduced to what a healthy family can look like
— Being baptized
— Coming to the understanding that even though I left turned away from God in countless ways, He never turned away from me

Verses
– 2 Timothy 4:17 — But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me, so that I might fully preach the word and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth
– This is where my name comes from — God rescuing Daniel from the lions’ mouth in Daniel 6 in the Bible
– If you let him – He will stand by you, strengthen you, and equip you with everything you need – even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes

– 1 Corinthians 13:11 — When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put aside childish things.
– In many ways I still feel like a child
– In many ways I feel like a man
– In every way I still need to rely on God and that He truly is a good, good father. I’ve got nothing else.

I’m so grateful for all of you, and for F3. The gift it has been in my life for 8 years has defined, shaped, and molded me into who I want to be going into the next decade and beyond. Thank you all for being a part of this journey with me.
