Divine Destination

What do I Fear?
I fear stagnation and lack of progress.
I fear never reaching my potential and being average.
I fear being forgotten.. The Past.. Yesterdays news.
I fear giving up and being passed by, going softly into that good night.
I fear letting those I love down, letting myself down.
I fear settling, giving in to the " that's just the way it is" mindset.
I fear dying without leaving my mark.
I fear not feeling these fears anymore and just floating along.
These fears feed me, they nourish my drive to strive for my Divine Destination.
Confidence.
Confidence is knowing that God called you and that if He called you, you CANNOT fail.
So I use that knowledge.
IF GOD CALLED ME, I CANNOT FAIL.
So I use that weapon that God has given me, to believe I can run a little faster, lift a little longer, and push it a little harder.
And when I kneel down at night.
I thank my Maker.
I thank Him for the Divine Calling that has been placed upon my shoulders.
I must remember.
Actions speak louder than words.
His glory is magnified through us.
God has chosen me out of the councils of heaven to strap on those shoulder pads and put on that helmet and represent him.
Every time he blesses me with a healthy body, and gives me a chance to represent him.
I thank Him before the battle.
As he continues to watch over me and bless me on and off the field.
I work as hard as I can to magnify my talents which He has given me.
Given a chance to represent Him, by putting on a name tag and/or by putting on a helmet.
I will always represent my Savior.

My Introduction...
Tiger Lilly is my pen name, it is what it is because of 3 things.

 1) TIGER, a very large solitary cat with a yellow-brown coat striped with black, native to the forests of Asia but becoming increasingly rare.

 2)LILLYa bulbous plant with large trumpet-shaped, typically fragrant, flowers on a tall, slender stem. Lilies have long been cultivated, some kinds being of symbolic importance and some used in perfumery.

3) I bought all my school clothes at this place this year(I know lily has 1 L but I like two, it looks better).

I'm not the guy everyone see's on the outside, on the Friday nights, during the battles. People see me as a jokester and a class clown sometimes, but I have something inside that no one has really seen before. I am excited to break out of this shell and jump into Paris. TigerLilly defines me as a person because I feel like people like me are RARE! I like talking about deep, IMPORTANT things, I'm not really like anyone else, I'm not a hipster but I'm not a follower. I'm a leader. I'm me.

 "I'm me, I Do Me, and I Chill" -Kevin Durant twitter bio. 

Tiger sounds manly, and lilly sounds girly. I am going to post manly posts and I will post kind of heart-felt girly posts. But I put them together to make TigerLilly so I can post and Important things and Rare feelings that come straight from my heart, and pour it out on this blog. This blog will be my get-a-way from the world.
