Today Khris Middleton, the other No. 22, begins a new chapter.
I remember the night of my retirement ceremony, walking into the Bucks training room and seeing Khris laying on the table. He was wearing 22 -- my number for over a decade in Milwaukee. 🧵
For 300 years, Christians were slaughtered and persecuted
Then one battle changed everything:
2 Pagan Emperors went to war, and one saw a strange vision in the sky
What he saw changed the course of history, and turned Christianity into a global superpower…🧵
Be grateful for all the girls you didn’t date, roads you didn’t take, ventures failed, locked doors, times rejected, & unexpected detours. Little did you know, the no’s were part of the plan; neccesary to reach where you are going - a place far much greater than anything you previously fathomed, much grander than you were hoping
Just think for a second, who knows better: you or God?
Ok. Accept what is as it is. Surrender to His plans, will, & word. And do better moving forward. He will make your crooked paths straight & illuminate the way, allotting the necessary graces in proportion to your faith & willingness to take on battles for His sake
Your problem is you rely too much on yourself - your own strength, intellect, shortsighted wisdom, & selfish desires to lead the way
He works differently, in ways we don't understand unless He allows to see, and even then, He only grants sufficient understanding for us to complete the task at hand to further His cause & divine mission
Much better His soldier or maid than try to run wild as king. I really don't believe one's spiritual journey begins until they make themselves 1) like a child of God in spirit as Christ teaches & 2) as His pawn
@JoKr_YTs @ApollosMission That’s a great idea. And if they could work in a 30 kill nuke just for casual playlists. No other streaks, I think that would be best
