An answered prayer

I recently visited The Village church out in the middle of no where but at least 45 minutes or so from where I currently live. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to going back! You see I've been going to Beautiful Feet ministries for church for almost 4 months now and don't get me wrong I LOVE IT, however I felt like I was needing something more. I was needing a place to worship for my own spriritual growth not that I can't have it at Beautiful feet, Lord knows I do, the homeless people there teach me something new each week! Still, my heart's desire was to be around people who weren't necessarily from semianry but weren't necessarily nonbelievers, married people or near my parent's age. These people are great and all but I was just feeling this emptiness to be around people more who were out tof the "semainary bubble" persay. So with all of that said, I feel like God is answering my prayer to have a church that I can go to for me and be surrounded by people my age learning abou Him and that being all that matters anyway and then on to serving him in the rejuvenated capacity through the homeless ministry, Beautiful Feet. I'm pretty siked to see God at work through me. With this, brun out hopefully will not be a factor, I can sign during the service with out feeling drained and instead can be reminded the night before that it isn't about me in the first place, it's about HIM.


Also, God's been showing me a lot about how running and discipleship with him go hand in hand. But considering I'm out of time for what I have to do next, I'll save that "lesson learned" for another time.

Thanks for reading,

P.S.: my friend, Sarah- job situation, big life changes, my friends Christina and Katrina- God's plan for them ( to make it clearer than it is now), My friends, Adam and Brandon- they are hiking 60 miles and camping for 5 days in the Smokys ( pray for their safety), my friend, Dominick-direction and comfort from God, my brother's knee, .... okay I'll stop there for now:), thanks again.

How Great is Our God:)

"Sing with me, .. How great is our God, .. and all will see how great, how great is our God:)"... having a song in my heart always makes me happy and well right now I am happy because I was able to go with two of my friends today, Katrina and Josh, to a coffee shop near TCU. We went hoping/praying that God was allow us to meet someone new, get to know them and tell them about our awesome Savior, .. well he did just that:). We got to meet an awesome girl and share with her Jesus. She was not a Christian but was open to what we had to say as we were to her own beliefs. We were able to get her phone number and well from this point I just pray that a friendship will bloom to where she will see Jesus the way we do, "the way, the truth and the life!"

I am constantly amazed to see God at work when I decide to just step out of the boat. The thing is I don't do it nearly enough. As much as I want to, I find myself spending my minutes/hours/days wasted away on things that are merely temporary.

When "stepping out of the boat" I find myself "spiritually drunk" with God's awesome power to share the gospel through my feeble efforts. I am amazed so often by his constant flowing grace ( Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, amazing grace, now flowing down, ... ( another song in my head)).

Different subject....





Last year I guess about this time, to be honest I can't remember the date exactly but I got the opportunity to interpret for my favorite author, Matthew Paul Turner. He is such a down to earth, genuine guy. Posted to the left is a picture of him signing a recently bought book of mine. What a cool day that was:)
