Satisfaction

It's beautiful to be down here in the midst of some truly good people that have abandoned many comforts of life to do ministry down here. It's interesting to often come home to my middle school room and home, and think about wanting to go eat out. I often don't i cant get myself to pick pennies out of my shoes. I'm trying to save money like madness, to be able to purchase a home in order to develop a ministry house and to begin to help my neighbors and share life with them. I'm excited about the church plant thats happening out here. We dream of opening a daycare, a skatepark, and a coffee shop. These are all things i think our community really needs.

It's tough out here at times though, I miss having close friends to interact with, and to do crazy things with, like randomly putting on costumes and going out to eat in them. Friends to challenge my thoughts and to bounce ideas off of. It's quite odd being removed from a lot of whats comfortable, i guess its good preparation and test of faith.

i trust the lord is mighty and a great comforter, that this is a great big part of the grand scheme of things. That because of my time here i will be able to be blessed much.

I dream of a wife to be, hoping that i'll be enough, that i will be the man God wants me to be, in preparation for my wife. That i would be able to love, lead, teach, sacrifice, serve,provide for her.
