How He Rolls...
I got into a discussion earlier today with one of the ladies in the Health Office. It was pretty cool. After my encounter with the Nurse Practitioner, it was nice to have a healthy conversation. I'm sick of the Nurse Practitioner thinking that I have a gay STD...she needs to just drop that. I feel that sex would be a requirement for that, don't you? Anyway...
So Lori and I began discussing the way of God. The reason this came about was because we were discussing music, actually. She told me of a Christian artist she really liked and I talked about Jonny Lang. I talked about his song, "Turn Around." It talks about how as long as you are still breathing, it's never too late to turn around.
She told me about one of her daughter's friends who was walking away from the Lord. And she told her daughter that it's okay. They need to pray for her and no matter how far away from God she goes, He will take her back.
What a mighty God we serve. He never ceases to amaze me. The more I think about my calling into the ministry, it blows my mind. I thank Him for taking a sinner like me and calling me into the ministry.
I also made a decision last night. This has been something that I have felt God calling me to for quite some time. I told Christ that He can have all of me. I rededicated my life and love to Him. I plan to live a single life so that my time and devotion will be solely to God. At times it kind of worries me, but I know that I have all I need. The love of One who will never break my heart. I will have all the time I need to give to others. My family will be the Church, the family of God.
So here I go...with many of the ambitions of John Wesley, but the dedication of Francis Asbury. :) I have no idea what the future holds for me, but I don't want to know. As long as I have Christ by my side, no matter what foes I may face, I am already victorious. :)
I also cannot wait to face the future. I would like to work in a church in a largely homosexual area. Perhaps I'll see if I can work in boystown with the ministry Jim Lo is doing there. We will see. Whatever He has in store, I'm ready. :)

I heard a message once intitled "Who you are in Christ". You can get it on www.intlfamilychurch.com. I highly recommend it. As you pursue Jesus with all your heart, He will reveal himself to you. And in Him lies all the answers to you questions.
God bless!
