The First

I did it. For real, legit, I did it.

What did I do? I finally made a blog.

I can't promise it'll be anything special or worth reading...What I can promise is that I will share a bit of my heart, my mind and a lot of my craziness. Brace yourself for the craziness. I have an extensive network of friends and acquaintances across the world whom I don't have the pleasure of being in their lives on a daily basis. My only connection to many of them is facebook. Not to say any of them would necessarily want to read my ramblings; but the option is there. This blog is to allow anyone who might want to keep up-to-date with my life to do so!

Moving on...

In 16 days I will be going on my third trip to Kraków, Poland.

I'm in the process of listening to God on how to begin a young adult ministry at my church.

I also have to find a job after March 14th (the day I return from Poland).

For a guy that isn't in school and without a job at the moment I think I can say I'm pretty busy. As crazy as it might sound I actually enjoy being busy. Not busy with work or anything like that; I just enjoy being busy with life. Life is crazy and messy...it's also an adventure and a thrill!

If you would be so kind, I would ask that you would pray for me. Pray for wisdom, for guidance, for understanding, for patience, pray that God would teach me in my 3 weeks in Poland, that God would continue to reveal His purpose for the yet-born young adult ministry; that I would be faithful and trust Him in providing a job that I need. 

I'd also ask that you would pray for the girls and women that will be and are being exploited for sex right now. The super bowl is the largest trafficking event in the States every year. Innocent humans are being forced into a life that they haven't chosen right now and every single day for the 'pleasures' of others who don't care about who they victimize. Pray for these ladies. Do the thing you don't want to do-pray for the ones who are doing the exploiting. As badly as you or I might want to harm these guys victimizing these ladies...they need Christ too.

If you find yourself thinking your life is horrible this week try to think about some of these people who aren't even free to begin having a life as normal as yours.

Even more...Pray. Pray. Pray. Keep praying.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 " Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."


z Bogiem,
Chris
