This is
pretty cool. About a week ago I was asked, "What do you really want?"
Loaded question, man. And amidst my current move back home and beginning a new job, I'm still figuring out the answer to that question. I've come up with a few things.
- I want to teach, but I don't want it to be my life.
- I want to do street ministry. Every time I go out and do it, I come alive.
- I want to do homeless ministry.
- I want to be involved in community. Everywhere I see in Scripture where the church is described, it's in the context of a body of believers living and sharing together. The only time I see lone rangers is when the lone rangers were in prison. And even then they were reaching out and into their communities back home.
- I want to see lives changed, renewed, and restored by the love of God. And I'm willing to get chin-deep in the muck of people's lives to see that happen. I don't just want to talk about it; I want to do it.
- I want to live in a city. It's a really big deal to me.
- I want to find that place where God wants me to be, and where He wants to position me to be His arms.
"I wanna live my life inspired, look for the holy in the commonplace, open the windows and feel all that's honest and real until I'm truly amazed."
