I had a rough childhood, and grew up in foster care. I had a rough summer this year and I am currently working on getting back on my feet even though the journey has been a long 5 1/2 months so far.
Whatever I Want
"I haven't had the best life there is, but I'm striving to make it better than it is right now. I'm nothing special...just a common guy called to do something greater than common." ~ Steven Ambrose
Life will always have obstacles that will block your path, but will you be ready when the time comes to take the first step in attempting to overcome those obstacles? When you go through those things in life, who will you have that will be here for you?
Would it be someone who truely loves you and cares for you? Steven was once told that
"True love is being there for those you care about, and showing them that you actually do care.”
Even though he is going through a really tough time in his life right now, he knows that there is someone who truely loves him and cares for him and who cares about what he is going through. His name is Jesus. Without Him, Steven would have failed in this journey of life months ago. There was a time when he had nowhere to sleep, nothing to eat, nothing clean to wear, and nothing to do but look straight to the sky and pray.
"God has never left me even though I fell from his path so many times. He is a God of love and a God of forgiveness. He is a God of mercy and a God of grace. God was with me the entire time.
God has still been looking out for me even when I least expected it. Things are slowly getting better by the day and I feel in my spirit that sometime soon, I will be living in my own home, I should have some type of job that could help pay bills, and I should have a car.
God should be as number one in in my life like he should have been in the first place. Because without Him, things would have just been getting worse instead of better. God will show me favor during my current trials and tribulations as long as I keep my eyes and my mind focused on his word." ~ Steven Ambrose
God has great and mighty plans for Steven. God will never throw in the towl for anything. He is just allowing Steven to go through these things so that he might grow strong in his faith and so that when worse things are thrown at him, he would be able to stand firm. God wants all of us to be successful in life. He doesn't want us to be Zeros, but he has called us all to be Heroes. He didn't call us to be losers, but he has called us to be doers. He has not called us to live in fear, but has called us to be fearsome.
Steven read a quote once that read,
"When the going gets tough, quit".
But Steven says,
When the going continues to get tougher, look at it in the face and get even tougher than the going". " ~ Steven Ambrose

The need for someone special and the stress of commitment. Why is there that inner need for a special someone, someone who is there to hold you and to share things with and to make you feel better when youâre feeling down? Yet there is always that constant nagging, making you stumble and falter, questioning motives and reasons. You want to be happy, but you canât. Always asking yourself, is this the right person, do I want to be with them, what if thereâs someone else out there and Iâm just settling for the here and now because I donât want to wait. You think youâre happy, but what if youâre not, then what. You want to be unattached and able to enjoy life, not have to worry about the consequences of your actions and the problems they may cause, but you want that someone special who is always there for you, whenever you need them no matter what. Someday the questions will be answered, the puzzled solved, and the knot of confusion will unwind into a string of certain clarity. There is one person who makes you question no more. One person who will make you feel special and care about you and they will hold you up and keep you from stumbling. You will settle, but only because you know itâs right, not because youâve given up looking for something better just to hang on to what youâve got. That someone will be your everything and you will want no more for anything else. Important things take time; the key is to be patient. Eventually you will find that one and because of them, you will finally be able to truly live happily ever after.
