The last few weeks, I have been figuring out what God has in store for me. I feel a calling into the ministry, but I am not totally sure where the Lord wants me. However, I do know that I am supposed to commit my time to helping those who are unfortunately homeless. My heart truly goes out to them. Plus, the vision I had last week and how it manifested in my life through someone who was in need of a friend, was a bold confirmation.
So, I am trying to figure out where I am supposed to be. Something that has been on my heart for quite some time is the Dream Center that Church of the Highlands is building in downtown Birmingham. This will be a church/mission center for the homeless in Birmingham. I feel God leading me there. Yet, at the same time I just meet Andy (Casey's roomate) and his brother is one of the directors for the Jesus Saves mission center in Denver. I feel that Birmingham would be a better place for me to grow spiritually by surrounding myself with Godly people and my friends who will love and support me through anything (Thanks yall).
Denver is still home to the love of my life, Molly. I do not know what to do about this situation. We are supposed to get together soon and I hope she sees God living in me and the transformation that has taken place in my life. I got a chance to speak with Greg (Molly's brother) and he told me was glad that I was in Denver. I have so much love for the Giuffra family as they have been so loving and understanding through everything that has taken place over the last year.
These are the things that have been weighing on my heart. I am going to speak with Pastor Mike Ware on Thursday to get some spiritual advice over this matter. Also, I want to see how I should go about getting involved in the ministry.
Billy Hornsby spoke to our church on Sunday and he left us with a quote that spoke to many areas of my life. It also speaks to those who have failed and are looking to God to find a life of everlasting love.
"God's greatest successes is redeeming our greatest failures."
be blessed,
your boy elbow
About Me
- Elbow
- I have recently given my life over to the Lord. It has been the greatest joy I have ever felt in my life. I finally have accountability in my life, that I have desperately needed. Through Christ I have the strength to push through anything life throws at me. I love my family and my friends. They are truly such a blessing. I am a southern boy from raising, but I have bounced around the country to stretch myself into the person I am today. I graduated from the University of Florida, so that makes me a proud Gator fan, Go Gators! My brother and I share an apartment in downtown Denver and we are learning how we are so different, but as God says, "We are fearfully and wonderfully created." Psalm 119. I feel that God is leading me to do His work. By helping others who are less fortunate and those suffering with the trials/tribulations of this world. This has just been shown to me over the last few months, as God has been the light of my life! He has truly shown me that no prayer goes unanswered, but it is in His timing. My love for others has taken a whole new level and I look forward to what God has to offer. *2 Corinthians 12:9-10*
