Quick Update

This has been a very busy month and I have not been able to blog as often as I would like. I would expect the month of June to more of the same. I hope to get back to doing it more regular come this July when I am laid off from the school. Many of you know about the big changes that are taking place this summer in our family, and if you don't I really hope to connect with you personally soon, unless you just frequent my blog and don't actually talk to me then you might have to contact me first or wait to find out. 

That being said, I am excited for the summer. I have met with a few pastors and I look forward to building some great relationships with church communities to serve, build up and encourage. I know that I will be blessed and encouraged in the process. 

Continue to keep my family and I in prayer as we are in a transitional season.

Glory

Here is a short glance of a very rough draft of a book I have been writing (unedited).

The greatest treasure we can receive is found when we are fulfilling our life’s purpose. That purpose and destiny is bringing glory to Jesus. God could have created creatures that fulfilled this purpose with perfection, he could have used drones that never once lost focus on their main objective. But he wanted glory to himself offered not out of obligation, but out of voluntary love and affection. Think about this for a second; There is actually something that God cannot have unless we give it to Him and it is the one thing that he wants from us: Voluntary love.  The beauty of this is that he still holds the cards in this situation, because in our response by giving him voluntary love and glory; the reciprocal effect has treasures and pleasures unending for us that we cannot even begin to repay. The fact is, God doesn't need us but he desires us and it is our eternal pleasure to fulfill our life's purpose in bringing him glory.

A Call To Church Leaders/Church Communities

           My heart has been growing for leaders and the local church.  I am asking the Lord for specific churches and leaders to carry into the place of worship and prayer before the Lord.  I know Jesus loves his church and I know the church needs encouragement and prayer, I also understand that to fuel my prayers it would help to have a connection or relationship with those that I am praying for.
   
          Part of growing connections and relationships would also mean to make myself available to share what the Lord has given me in my gifts once and a while to encourage, prophesy, lead worship, share and serve in these communities/groups.

         If this is something you or someone you know might be interested in please contact me and we see where we can go from there through prayer and conversation.
