I realize I have probably already lost all my readers, but still I want to write. It has been 5 week since I last posted anything on here, and for that i apologize. For in all reality I have no good excuse. And to my dear friends I call family, I deeply regret not writing you or updating this blog.
I have had to many things while here, and a lot of the i don't wish to repeat any time soon. It' been crazy, from fights, to suicide attempts. Not mine. I have learned a lot, but dealing with these things on a daily basis is very wearing and difficult. Don't get me wrong though, I love it here! I know without a shadow of doubt this is where God wants me to be.
which brings me to my next point. I have told many people that I plan on going into the fire service, and some day I might, But for now I believe God is calling me away from a "career" job. I believe God wants us to serve others, give him the glory, and and o his will. I also believe God gives us each something that we are good at, and his will for us is to glorify him in each of those things. God has given me the desire and the ability to work with young people, Be in the military, and discipleship. for me to not do these things would be like me telling God that I don't care anything about what he wants from me. However in this line of work there is no "career". It is a mission based on the needs of others and seizing opportunities. For most this sounds absurd, and very dis functional. But I call it living for Christ. It is my desire to please God by using to the best of my ability the talents he has given me. My flesh is afraid of this because in most cases it does not come with a guaranteed paycheck. You must rely on God. Also it does not guarantee work. I really like and agree with what this school is doing. However, I would like to start working with older guys, like from 16--.. who have a passion for doing the work of God. Through a friend here at CHA I have leaned of a group called the Timothy group. It's designed to equip Godly men to serve others in times of need. With an intense focus on aiding persecuted Christians. The groups goal is to train men in the tactics of escape and evasion. I am currently working on becoming actively involved with the program. What my ultimate goal is for doing this, I'm not sure yet. But I do feel very strongly that this is something that should be taught to Christian men, so they can serve God and spread His Good News even in the places where it is illegal.
I don't know for sure where God is going to lead me next, or what I will be doing, But the longer I am here working with these kids the more I start to realize that fire fighting isn't what God wants me to do. For some this might come as a disappointment, or may even believe this is foolishness. But this what I feel God is calling me to do. It is now my responsibility to respond to the calling. I must pick up my cross and follow him.
