Yo Yo!
This past week has been wild. I am so incredibly grateful for the experiences, people, and relationships that have grown on this challenging yet fruitful journey.
Recently we switched from full group dinners to men’s night, a place where we can be transparent and vulnerable about ourselves and stretch eachother day in and day out.
We got to write our own eulogy, a challenge that tweaked our perspective on life and brought to light how we wanted to be remembered when we pass.
As a tool to hold me accountable for the man I desire to become, my eulogy.
When life comes to an end and I say goodbye to those I love, I hope I leave a sense of urgency that points others to the goodness of Christ. I pray that I have truly loved and been loved in return. That my kindness reflects and punctures the hearts of others, showing the world and darkness that there is salt and light in this world.
I hope to embody the living grace of Christ, to take care of myself and pursue a servants heart that pushes myself into the uncomfortable and brokenness in order to be healed, mended, improved, and perfected.
I hope my life impacted those around me. That my kids, friends, and family see the embodiment of my savior, who shows abounding grace and exudes an impenetrable affection towards others. Who finds his happiness in the creation and nature of his lord and never took for granted the beauty around him. Who was always down for a good time yet looked into the hardship of this world and pursued goodness and happiness in others.
I wish to pay off all my debts against those dissatisfied towards me or disgruntled at my actions. That I don’t regret one action, word, or deed, when I lay on that death bed exhaling my last breath.
That I seek to catch gods vision and show compassion on every living soul around me. Life is a vapor, we come and go, i hope I made an impact and that my faith stayed intact.
I hope I showed the world that everyone needs to feel loved but not everyone can be loved in the same way.
I cherish you you all. Go show the world what you have to offer studs.
With a posture of praise,
Knox LejaMeyer
