DeathFirst

So it has been a while since I created this goal and little has changed. I find myself still focused on my job, ministry, and life. But, no woman to share those things with. I really don’t want to worry about this situation, but if I can be completely honest, (can I be?) I hate looking at guy friends of mine that are late 20’s and still don’t have a mate. They are sad, lonely, and wonder what they will do. I do not want to find myself 28 without a mate! Haha, that rhymes. I will tell you honestly that this last year has been the hardest so far. I think there is something inside of us as we get older that craves that special person who you can share life with. It’s that person who knows you, still loves you, and wants to be around you.
This I have realized; It is easy to get distracted by a great number of things in the opposite sex. (especially as a guy) When it all comes down to it, I really want a woman that is my best friend. Relationships based on fact, or passion, or availability may work. But, I think that a marriage relationship built around friendship is one that will last till’ the end. So… Still looking for that girl with passion off the chain for Jesus Christ and rock climbing. I need a girl who understands sacrificing all for The Lord and wants to take vacations to crags to climb! If you see any around..(send them my way) haha.

This is becoming a reality at break neck speed. At the beginning of this year, God made this goal really important to me. I began to pray like crazy and The Lord came through and made it abundantly clear. He answer my questions and assuaged my fears through people, podcasts, and prophetic words. Perry Noble’s quote was one of the deciding factors. “If you could do anything and knew that you couldn’t fail, what would it be?” My answer: start a church. Response: “Then you would be a coward not to.” True that. When I went to England for Fusion, I was surrounded by church planters and interestingly enough they all started their churches at MY AGE! As I made my way across England 5 different prophesies were spoken over me and my leadership and they all had interlinking attributes. None of these people knew each other, it was the Holy Spirit. Coming back my resolve was as strong as steel and it has not weakened. A lot more has happened since, but I will post that in my next entry.

I have to get more of these down. I think that we do them on a regular basis anyway. I am going to get the help of Nicole Batkiewicz. She has the ability to make this dream come true. Between us two and a camera, we can put a heavy dent in this goal.
