• Summer Summer Summertime!

  In a couple of short months I will be leaving and going moving out of state to go to seminary.  It finally hit me about a week ago the magnitude of this.  It may not seem like much to some people.  But, for the next three years I will live out of state.  I have never lived very far away from home.  I expected to spend this summer just chillin with friends and really relaxing for the most part.  I knew I was going to have to find a job so that I could pay some bills over the summer.  But, I ended up with a crappy job that doesn't pay anything and I am having to work my butt off to make any money.  So, basically I expect to see no body this summer because of my sucky schedule. Maybe when my economic stimulus check comes and can live off that towards the end of the summer and finally get to connect with some people before I leave.
  
  I've been having doubts about where God is leading me lately also.  It really just started this summer.  I still feel called  into ministry I just don't know about international missions.  I absolutly loved doing college ministry at UALR.  It was an amazing experience and I can't stop thinking about it.  Every mission trip tends to have a theme or something that God is trying to teach you personally.  Mine have always been pretty much the same.  That it is amazing to go and tell others in other countries about Christ, but there are so many here that don't know.  He is always telling me that I should be doing as much here as in foreign countries to spread the Gospel.  I know I have fallen short here in the states.  I tend to get back into my comfort zone here and just go about things the way I always do.  Totally forgetting about that boldness that I had in the foreign country.  Anyways, is He trying to tell me that I am called to work here in the states.  Maybe college ministry or the North American Mission Board.  There is a lot of praying to be done over this one.
