Once more for round again

So a new year is starting and a new adventure awaits. I never would have expected last years adventure and where it has broughten me. From a full-time 9-5 job, making money to pay the bills to living of of faith that there will be a place to stay every night and food to eat and gas for the car... its a very strange feeling I remember, when I first had to make that step. It was quick and abrupt and I was NOT prepared.

But after a recent uplift, I realize all the greatness I have around me. I may not have a home, a car with heat, a job, an xbox and a great list of games; but I have my health, couches and food, a car that runs, and a gracious God working through people in my life ot keep me running. Someone will always give a word of encouragement or a couple bucks at that moment when I need it, thanks to Him.

One of my biggest parts of my life is Missions. i love attending missions trips that my church goes on; to Nicaragua, Guatemala, Washington County, West Virginia. Its just nice being able to use my youth and physically abilities to help out where other who may not have the physically abilities to can.

My biggest asset in this life is YOU! yes YOU reading this right now. If you have landed randomly on this page its about you! If you read these everytime you get an email its you! I would never be able to partake in these trips I have been on without your support.

We sometimes forget to give appriciation to those who do good works and help us out when we need it. And for me you guys take the cake. Your donations and spiritual support are what continue to keep me energized to do these works. Its really because God put you in my life somehow, somewhere that these things can happen. That a child in Guatemala can be sponsored; that a pastor and his 9 children can eat; that a homeless person in NY has a new friend in Christ; that a young man in your church gave his life to Christ; that for some reason... my schedule seems more full than a 40 hour a week job. I am blessed that the world is so over run by wireless that it is everywhere so I can keep you all updated.

My main goal for this post is to see what kind of financial support I have available to me though blog readers. There is a trip coming up soon to Nicaragua and I don't have the financial means to join the group. Got plenty of tango, just no cash. I can't put hopes in a full amount showing up for the trip which leave on March 7th, and would not want to disappoint people who may want to help out with this trip, so I will disclaim this right now. Any donations made for this trip, If I am unable to raise enough before the allotted time, will be used towards the next missions trip in line that will be feasible to go on.

So there's my situation. I believe God has a reason for me posting this message, I felt lead to attempt this and try it out so we will see what comes of it. I have learned though from doing these things. Sometimes the answer we hope to get isn't always the answer we will receive. But the answer received is what God has intended for you at that particular time. for a particular reason.

Thanks for your past and future support everyone. I love you all dearly.
