Long time, No blog

I keep checking my blog reader for new updates and blogs from my friends but no one seems to be writing this week so I thought I would.

Today was refreshing. Here's why: I started off the day with the kind of "quiet time" that I rarely get to do all in one sitting. I read the Word, had a time of worship (not so quiet), and then prayed for a while. I usually have my time with God everyday, but more often than not, should I try to have a quiet time such as today's, I am interrupted by someone or something on my schedule. So it was cool for once to be able to take as long as I wanted with no meetings or errands to run that would interrupt my time.

Another quenching time of my day was to be back at the church in which I grew up and to see old friends and hear a good message. We studied Paul's last Journey from the Holy lands to Macedonia and back (Acts 20).

I long to have the "freedom" that Paul did. I put freedom in quotes because Paul was never free from persecution, but instead found his freedom in the Spirit and followed its direction no matter what - even when his friends pleaded with him to hang around and avoid going back to Jerusalem. How AWESOME it must have been to go from city to city sharing the Gospel and practicing his own trade of tent-making in order to fund his travels.

Paul's testimony gives me great courage and excitement to go out and share the Truth with everyone. I'll admit that I need to get myself a little more organized before I do so (or else I'm just all over the place trying to explain the Gospel) but I'm anxious and excited to move to Texas and start there. Then on to Russia, maybe the Ukraine, and who knows where else!

The truth is not out there to find - I've already found it! Now it's up to me and you to go and help others find the Truth - the One, the Only, Jesus Christ.

Good night for now.

Check the twitter feed and blog for updates about my adventures in Plano, Texas and Prestonwood Baptist over the next few days. I'm in the final stages of hopefully being hired for an internship with the Student Ministry there and am very excited about the opportunity should it be in His will. Prayers would be appreciated!
