One year in

So we are one year in on the Obama presidency and I'm trying to figure out how my life has really been affected. The more I think about it My life has not changed at all, if anything life has only grown better. Sometimes because of ideologies, news, or friends fear creeps into my life and I want to try and control my situation when I really I just need to live in the freedom of the Gospel! Luke 12: 22-34 God loves me so much what do I have to worry about?

Haiti

What does God have in store for me in Haiti? This is the big question I have, do I rush over there and try to be involved with the disaster relief? Maybe, but I am not trained in any thing that has to do with disaster relief. I am no nurse or doctor nor do I have exceptional organization skills so I have decided to just stay out of the way for right now. I do know God has a plan for me and the work that has to be done in Haiti. Three things, one is I am called to be and share the Gospel in Haiti, second I am a skilled craftsman when it comes to welding and building in general, third is I am an exceptional leader/job manager. All of this to say I think God is leading me to be involved in the rebuilding of Haiti, homes, and schools yes but with my focus on building the church. I cant wait to see where God leads!

For now, I am praying for the people of Haiti first for our brothers and sisters in Christ that through this tragedy they can bring glory to God and make Christ known, and second I am praying that God would use this to bring his lost children home.

Watch out I have succumbed to the world of blogging.

So I have been fighting the world of cyber communication ( blogs, twitter, facebook,) but it is a loosing battle. Josh you have won the battle I am here. Check him out at www.joshmckague.com.

Any way the reason I am here is to have another outlet to spread the passions I have for life, I am planting a church within a small church in Dawsonville GA , we are meeting semi- regular and I hope to use this blog to help stay connected with Friends and family who are involved, we hope to grow into a healthy Gospel centered light in Dawson and the surrounding areas. We will be a couple of things, we will be Gospel centered and Bible driven. I think this well lead us down a road very different than the churches we grew up in here in the bible belt. Ask me questions about this i would love to talk about it! We will also be working hard to bring the love of Jesus to the local needs around us, this will not be over looked, Christ will be made much of in our city, our work places, and our neighborhoods! Our next meeting is Feb 27th come on out!

I hope to rase awareness with what is going on in Cambodia with a ministry I'm involved with, check them out as well! http://www.transformasia.us/ My friend Bob is in Cambodia right now working on organizing some big things! One of them being a orphan sponsorship program that will be awesome, it will be set up similar to any child sponsorship organization such as World Vision. We will change the country of Cambodia Through Education, supplying basic needs, and most of all bringing the love of Jesus to the people.

There is more much more but for my first blog post (if thats what you call it) I think this will do! I am not a writer there will be misspelled words so don't feel the need to point them out! but if you must I can handle it. cheers.
