Hello there, old friend...

It has been a long time now and I have been itchin' to get a blog out there in cyberspace. I mean, not really, but I feel like it is time to send an update to the world out there that is taking over our real world here (guess you were always right Mr. Neil Postman). Life here in Muncie has not changed much. Still busy, still tiring and still life. The biggest change that is happening is that I might take on more hours at the center and start to raise some support. It is funny because as I was thinking about going out to Los Angeles, I was so willing to raise support, but now that I am in Muncie, Indiana, I am so less willing. Funny how things happen. If I was somewhere where I wanted to be, I was willing to do what it takes, but since God changed my plans and sent me here, I am so much less willing. My eyes have been opened more and more to that recently. I rad in the Bible about how God has set plans before people and they turn their backs and then he does it again and again they turn their back. It is like we know what is better for us. Ha. That is funny. And then I sit in church and hear the Word of God which is that he will send us places, we just have to follow his commands. And then I read books where titles of chapters are, "Quit trying to figure out his will for your life." It is like he has been sending me signals or something. It makes me think of Bruce Almighty where Bruce is driving down the road and he is praying to God to just send him a sign and on the side of the road there is a sign that says, "caution ahead" and then a truck bed full of signs that say, "wrong way, do not enter" and he is being told to turn around. And so often the same thing happens to me. I am praying for God to give me a sign, but I keep going my own way because it is what I want. I drown out everything that God is showing me and saying to me because it is not what is on my own agenda. How interesting. I guess I should start listening.
