Time to post

Not that I have time to post, but I really feel that I should take the time to post. Not many read this blog, but I'd like to start using this one. I have a blog for ministry, that I'd like to use too.. startingtheadventure.blogspot.com, and facebook seems to be taking over the world.

Well I'm dealing with the wonderful world of Ministry Partner Development. I say wonderful world because like many things the Lord plans, it's refining. Wonderful to be looking back upon times when the Lord works... painful to be in them. I have a lot of weaknesses that make this hard... and many sins that keep me from fully trusting in the Lord. E-buke right there.

I went to a service this Sunday and it was on putting God first, before money, schedules. I'd add comfort. It's easy to do the things that come naturally, hard to stand out from the crowd. It seems to be a pattern in my life - no compromise. Psalm 101.

It's a great time to be reminded of how many loving and encouraging friends you have... and to be loving and encouraging back. The world runs on love, it's like natural gas we need it to go on.

Not too much of this makes sense, but anyways.

I read Psalm 42 today. As the dear pants for water so I pant for you O Lord. Really? Do we really? And do we satiate that need or just push it away and try to continue on... maybe seeking other things to complete us? I know that I go about my day with too many hours isolating myself from God - even when I've set that day aside for him. Totally donc!

Faith has to be the most important attribute when in ministry... and the Lord is teaching me this - it's a process.

I was listening to this talk today: Mark Driscoll
