Interesting times...

So much happens within one week in my life lately! Sheesh! After one week of no posts, I feel like I have too much to update on! Hee.

Well, I will try to give as brief an update as I can (which I doubt will actually fit the definition of brief, but oh well, this is my blog so deal with it, ha).

Well, after prayer and fasting, God really revealed to me that He does not have taking over the business in my future. I think God has so much more for me, and even gave me a glimpse of what it could be.

I was talking to a friend of mine about this online ministry he is getting started. It hasn't launched yet, but you can go here, so see what's done so far: Burning Nineveh

Anyway, he told me about how God expanded his vision for the ministry beyond just online. He started telling me a little about it when something clicked inside me. I remembered this vision I had for a youth ministry a few years ago that I had forgotten about. So I asked if I could guess some of the aspects. So I started decribing my vision, and Jerrett was saying "yeah, exactly" and I told him that I had a vision exactly like it. And we started talking in more detail--even down to the interior design in some of the rooms in the physical location for Burning Nineveh. And it was still the same.

We were both kind of in awe about this. I mean, we have never actually met before, live about 3000 miles apart (me in Cali, him in Louisiana) and I only told a handful of people about it.

Anyway, it was an awesome reminder of the dreams God placed in my heart years ago, that I stuffed into the recesses of my heart. More and more of those dreams have been resurfacing, and I just need to take the risk and follow those dreams, with the faith that God will come through as I take the risks.

It is definitely scary though. I won't be talking to my dad right away, cause he has some major things on his mind at the moment. So I am waiting about a month until some things pass. So, I won't need to really worry about what I am going to do next for another month, so I have time to pray about where God wants me to go. I don't know exactly when I will leave working here, or what I will be doing. But God knows, and I can rest in that. And I know whatever it is will be awesome.


God has also brought a man into my life who is awesome. We are great friends at the moment, but we will see where God leads. Our situation doesn't exactly make it feasable to have a serious relationship at the moment, but we will see whether God opens the doors or not.

Oh, and this is awesome... I had the whole day off today! I was going to have to come in for a bit to work on a project for my dad, but he decided that it would be better to just put in a half hour tomorrow (well, today now), which I preferred. Cause I really needed a day off.

I did pretty much nothing. It was great.

Well, I think that's enough for now. If you want to know more, you can just post a comment...hehe.
