After about three days of Travel, 11 hour layover turning into 24 hours, 250 Pounds of luggage, stranded at the airport at about 3 in the morning, I find myself home. Not the country where i was born, or grew up in, rather the place where i lost my life, and found it anew in Jesus Christ. Accompanied with an old teammate, now lifelong friend, I began an embarkment on another summer in the land that i love, a small town called Pichilemu. With a couple thousands miles and about 5 hours time difference distancing me from my original hometown, Carlsbad, I found readjusting to this lovely city was quite difficult. However, as my days begin to immediately be filled with ministry and calls for work, I find my laziness, which was so relevant at home having now place in this town. A typical monday-friday day would look something like:
7:00 wakeup
8:00 breakfast
8:30 Boxing/workout/dance class...
9:30 clean our house (pool house)
11:00 Swim Classes (60 degree pool)
1:00 Lunch
2:00 Head to beach
2:30 Volleyball
7:00 Head home
8:00 cook dinner
9:30 GO TO BED (or go to town....)
Weekends, well, they go something along the lines of... disappearing way to fast, and the necessity of Sabbath is coming all more relevant.
Coming up on about two weeks here God has already been doing a great deal within me. Clearly defining my faults, he is using the trials in my life to create me into the better man he wants me to be; less of me, more of him. As I finally begin to battle back in my individual wars over procrastination and organizations, I can see the many defeats in the past, but I am excited for the victories in the future. Taking my baby steps into leadership, God is pulling his hands farther from me, knowing that I can take the steps on my own. However still there to catch me every time I stumble.
I am beginning to see the necessity for ministry in my life, and the love of service all the more evident. As I slowly start to focus on others and loose clarity of my own desires I find the verse Mathew 6:33 a strong motivational source, "But seek first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto thee." Knowing that if i focus all I am on bringing fourth his kingdom, he will grant me my hearts desires without my effort at all, well that brings fourth excitement and a true understanding of his righteousness. The revelation of more of him and less of me becomes more defined, as I learn that its not just his tendencies living through me; but his love, his strength, his rest, his passions, his desires... all to bring fourth his will.
