Ta da!

Yes yes, haven't posted in forever.. blah blah blah.. ya done?

Ok.

So I'm going to start reading that I just got. It's called God's Plan for the Ages, and it's written by Dr. David R. Reagan. I've recently gotten a little more interested in the end times and what signs of if it there are today. I know there's much argument, but I don't want to be closed minded to the events happening around us. It really does seem like the world is very unsettled these days. That's when it's awesome to see such a movement going on in the church.

My dad mentioned something to me that really made me think. We were talking about prophecies and end time stuff, and he mentioned that it's not possible for the end times to happen yet. Not that it's not close, but right now, it's not possible. He mentioned a verse in the bible (forgive me, I don't remember which one) where it says every nation will have believers, or something like that. Sorry if I'm way off. But the point is, it made me think about missions in the war-torn countries like, Iraq, Afganistan, and the nation of Palestine in general. Who is ministering to them? Who is going to them and showing them the Truth? Ever since he said that, I've had a tug on my heart about that and have started to think: "Am I called to be involved in ministering to them?" First of all, I don't even know what my calling (besides leading worship as a drummer) is.

In a few months I'll be going to Africa for about 3 weeks to a month. I plan on getting involved with missions while I'm down there. It's kindof scary because I've never been on a big missions trip. And now I'm kindof doing it on my own. (in other words, I'm going down there on my own, and looking up other missions down there)

One thing I know is that lately, I've been praying to see the power of prayer. And I think it's one of those things, that once you start praying for it and have the desire, God will overwhelm you with His answer. In the past few months my life has drastically changed. Worship has litterally become the passionate connection to a God that I knew alot about, but didn't really act upon. I find myself overcoming sins and shortcomings that I've had problems with, without hesitation! I find my life moving in a less general direction (good thing) and going toward building a firm foundation of faith. And I praise God for that movement in my life, and in my heart.
