Charles Haddon Spurgeon

If there is a man that lived on this earth aside from the people in the Bible that I want to model, it would be this man, Charles Haddon Spurgeon. He lived from 1834 to 1892 in England. What really made me adore him is that he truly at a young age grasped the true gospel and very humbly lived his life.

My Wana-Do-Soon list

This teaches us to focus on the future things that we can do in our lives to impact other lives and glorify God.

I gave it all up to pursue what I love doing and later on pray to begin studying to become a servant of the LORD, to become a pastor. I want to use my time and energy, my prime, for greater things.
