interesting...

I feel like I have so much to say but I have no idea
on how to start. Currently I am sitting at school and
waiting to go and work out a little. It's been a great
time being at CIU once a week, such an encouragement
in the midst of what seems like chaos. Chaos being my
life that is. How is it that my life has gotten so
chaotic? A mix of running hard after doing the Lord's
work mixed a little bit with my own selfishness to
want to look good and be successful. For some reason I
think I have convinced myself that Busyness is next to
Godliness.

Anyways, please pray for me as I fight this thing
called busyness. I hope really to stop being busy and
just start being available. I know I can't have one
without the other...

so I do a very poor job at resting... so here are a few thoughts about resting, more for me then you, but I want to share...

"resting can be an act of worship"

"I figure God was serious when He mapped out a day of rest for us. If God Himself needed a day to rest after creating this universe, we would be stupid to think the same isn't essential for us."

"In modern Christianity, we have come to understand that worshipping God is not just done through singing and instruments, but through our lifestyles. But we're so rushed in packing our lifestyles with activities that perhaps we forget that God can glory not only in our work, but even in our rest. We want so much to honor God that we pack the completion of projects even into our days of rest, when really, God would sometimes prefer that we do absolutely nothing."

So it's been a year since the last post...

I know and I am sorry that I haven't updated my blog, well at all for the last 8 months. But 2008 is going to see me writing more about what's going on in my life as I try to be transparent for the purpose of keeping everyone updated about my last months here in Florence, and how it is going to be transitioning into Full-time ministry with LeaderTreks at the end of August this year. If you didn't know, I am moving to Illinois to join the team at LeaderTreks. I am very excited, and am looking forward to keeping you posted about what is going on. :)
