Ready. Steady. Go.

Two posts in one day, seperated by one sleep. Awesome. I am setting records left and right this month.

I was sitting on my couch with a guitar in my lap. I was looking through some worship music and playing them as I went. Then, all of a sudden, a thought crossed my mind that, if all goes well, I could potentially become a pastor in some years. It was somewhat of a blind vision that I saw - whatever that means. But I saw myself in a church, maybe as a pastor or whatever I was, and it got me all excited. Something that I love to do is get to know people and maybe even be a bit of an influence in the growth of them. I've already stated before that everything we come across plays some role in our lives, no matter how big or small. So, I guess that, in a sense, what I pictured in my mind was a vision that can quite potentially be true.

I know it is true that the path of a "spiritual leader" is extremely challenging, but I feel that my mindset is headed in the right direction to be able to endure what life may throw at me down the road. Being excited for something is good, but I know that I cannot throw away everything else other than the good because then I'd just be ignorant and foolish.

However, I actually can admit that I could not be happier that I know what it is I want to pursue now. Things take time, and it took a bit longer for me to find out, but hey, I would not trade the experiences I've gained for anything in the world.

Alright, that is really all I wanted to say. Now, let's hope the Oilers don't get killed TOO badly )=

That is very exciting Nathan! If you need some insight I would be glad to lend a hand... trust me, I too have been there... searching and then ignoring the voice of God, only to realize that it is way more important to obey than not... had I not listened and obeyed, I never would have met Phil. Who would've thought?!?!

Things take time, but it certainly was faster for you than it was for me :) God is good, eh? I like how He continually knocks at our door to get to us. I'm that you're making this decision between you and God and not to please people. I know, late reply. Still, good on ya :)
