i’m so bad with names for these.

here are a few thoughts today. today i got on facebook and realized how much i have started to not like it. i checked the “friend requests” page. i had one from a 55 year old woman. i had one from a 49 year old man. and one from a chick that graduated the same college as me the year before i was born- the message attached to her request said “can i add you to my friend list?”  i thought this was networking for college students. not single adults trying to find booty or just a girlfriend to chat with. it was a weird weird encounter.

today at work, Skye and I had a long talk about the Volunteer Ministry of Newspring, one thing is for sure coming out of that meeting. I realized my passion for Newspring Ministry.  Seriously, these volunteers can make it happen on Sundays.  However I have also realized that, we are called to volunteer out of hearts. Not for customized scheduling. Not to get something out of it. But to give to others.  We don’t volunteer because we feel guilty when Perry mentions it from the stage.  Its from our heart that we want to expand God’s kingdom, and volunteer ministry helps that happen. 

tonight God made me extremely uncomfortable. no need to disclose the circumstance. however I was sitting amongst friends and something inside me stirred. Christ made me uncomfortable. reflecting back to just a couple of hours ago. i love it when i can undoubtably feel that pull. So, I just want to say, thanks God.
