What to do when the Lord calls?

Seems simple right? When God says "go" you go to do the thing that the Lord sent you to do. Problem is what to do when you feel God calling you to Uganda to help out children and children soldiers in a war torn country. What about your four children? Who do go with? Do we go alone?
That is where I am tonight. Full of questions and no answers. I feel like I am killing the wonder of God's call with all of my questions. I want to be like the disciples and leave this lifestyle behind like they did. I would do it if I didn't have this family tying me down, right. No, I don't think that I could do this if it were not for my wife showing me her great compassion for the children of Uganda. This call is for all my family. I need to think about that when I want to pick up and go. I wanted to make a packed with God to take away my career if he wants me to go. My wife pointed out that might not be the way God wants to go about this. Taking away my career doesn't really help us with the monthly expenses that we need to take care of between now and when we go. I should remember that I always have a tendency to rush into something without thinking it out. My prayer is that God would open my eyes to what ways he needs me to help out the children of Uganda. What does he want to do with my career? And what does he have planned for my family and I?

Hello!


Hello everyone,

I hope that your reading this entry first. I don't know how long this will last or whether this blog will gain any following. I wanted a place to record my thoughts and air out some things that are brewing in my brain. Everyone will someday have a blog or something similar. It seems to be the trend for this age. I know that I am one voice in a thousand but God will lead those he wants to view my thoughts here. It will be God's decision as to whether he finds value in my writing or not. I pray that He does.
So without further a do, God my prayer is that I may use this outlet as a vehicle for your glory and help to spread You to the world. Help me to remember that in all things I should bring glory and honor to You. Let the words that flow from this site speak truth and love. Amen.
