Beach Bummin'

It's official. I'm going to Virginia Beach this summer on a Campus Crusade for Christ Summerproject for 12 weeks. I'm very excited for what God is doing in my life and what He's planning to happen this summer. On the VA Beach Summerproject I will be in a tight-knit community of college students praising God and spreading his Word.

The next step is raising support. It's slightly intimidating to go around asking people for money so that I can spend 12 weeks in VA Beach, but then again I'm doing God's work and He provides. It's very exciting to see how He will provide for me as far as money goes, and I'm excited to bring people an opportunity to give and see the results of that at the end of the summer. Ahh, that sounds a little selfish.

I'm very excited for this summer to see what God will be doing in my life and the lives of those around me. If you wouldn't mind keeping me, my efforts, and my ministry in your prayers I would be very appreciative. I'll keep y'all updated.

Divinely Driven

It has been quite a long time since my last post, and I have changed very much in the time elapsed. I have realized that even though I crave adventure day and night that there is no greater adventure that full submittal to the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirt of God is the inspiration that leads us, as followers, to things that are not possible apart from Him. Following Him is far more difficult and rewarding that any adventure that I could crave or even dream. I sit around and complain that my life is not as exciting as I would like, but not until recently did I realize that my 'adventure' is nothing on my own. My sense of adventure -- my desire -- is so unbelievably selfish. My ultimate goal should be, and is, to follow the Spirit where it leads me, and I know that when I achieve it there could be nothing more satisfying or adventurous.

On a lighter note: I may be spending my entire summer in Virginia Beach spreading God's word and growing in my faith in community with a Campus Crusade for Christ Summer Project.

Every Day Monotony

I seem to find myself, yet again, in some sort of tedious repetition. Days seem to blend into each other in a fashion that I find somewhat terrifying. How can one be so unaware of time slipping through the proverbial hourglass and be able to do nothing about it? I suppose that poses a different question: how can change be inspired when the force that needs said change is imperceptible?

Something New May Be Possible

Here I sit in my clothes from Urban Outfitters wondering if I'm doing all that I can with my life, and I realize that I'm not doing much of anything. The adventurous spirit inside me just tells me to go do what ever it is that I need to do, but that little nagging in the back of my mind called rationale telling me that my actions would be imprudent is doing away with all that supposed adventure.

The creation of this blog is purposeful in three ways: catalog and share my adventures, inspire others to partake in experiances that will change their lives, and to inspire myself to keep on keepin' on, if you will.
