In Motion

The days seem to be getting busier and busier. I leave the house early every morning and don't get back till late. I get a lot done but it always feels like more needs to be done. No matter how many things I do, there is something more. Don't get me wrong, all the things happening are huge blessing from the Lord and I've met the most amazing people but I can't wait till they all come together.

The biggest one is the non-profit my friends and I are starting. There is a ton of paperwork and filing of documents to do. A bunch of legal stuff I don't really understand.....  I can't wait till it all gets started though. I can see all the dots the Lord is connecting already and im sooo excited. It feels like everyday I make some unreal connection with another on fire Christian with a heart for orphans. Things only explainable through God. I can't wait to just travel around and support orphanages for a living. What could be better? Helping people in need and teaching them about Jesus. My first trip will be in about a week. Going to Haiti to take supplies to an orphanage. While I'm there, I should make some really great connects to other orphanages out there, so once the NPO is up and running, we can begin to support them. So stoked for this trip. The beginning of something really cool.

I just continue to remind myself everyday of how great God is. Every morning realizing how broken I am. No matter what I do, I fall so short of His glory. Just being alive I fall short, even just sitting in my room. We need Him so much its ridiculous. We are so lucky to have a God that loves us.

  1. I can relate to being so busy, and still feeling that there is just more and more to do. Be diligent. It's awesome to hear your passion and desire to work with orphans. Your trip will be amazing! I can't wait to hear about it when you return. Also, if you ever want to contact Journey Community Church in San Diego (where I live), they are taking regular trips to Haiti and have partnered with a church out there that is also home to orphans. Just wanted to put that out there ;-) Have a great day!

  7. Brother!! Your hard work and discipline is not in vain! As you were writing this I hope you could see what I'm able to see, by reading this. I see you starting out saying how tired you are and how much hard work you're doing and then it shifts to you realizing that the Lord is doing amazing work in your life through that and you being encouraged by the things He's put in your life and the opportunities that await you! You are chosen. You are appointed to go out into the world and proclaim the Truth of our Lord. You are being strengthened every day through the hard times and long days, and I believe that as you were writing this you probably were able to see that vividly. I'm so stoked for you man and praying for your Haiti trip. Can't wait to chat about it all when you get back!
