Update

Hey guys.

It's been a while but despite my negligence I haven't forgotten about the blog.  In fact I wrote a lot of things this summer while I was in India but for one reason or another (mostly laziness) they never found their way to the actual blog.  To be honest, I think I am a bit intimidated - not quite sure what is "worthy" of this forum so I hesitated a lot because I believed my thoughts to be unpolished and not "Christian" enough.  Regardless, I think I'm over that now.

Anyways, I'm in India again (after a brief stint in the US to get things packed).  I'm doing full time ministry with EMI (engineering ministries international), "designing a new world of hope" as they would say.  It's a place I would have never imagined myself a couple of years ago.  That is not beacuse I would be against going on an adventure over seas, but because I never imagined myself doing full time ministry.  It's still really weird.  There is lots of praying and reading the Bible and depending upon God for things - all foreign concepts really.

I'll be giving periodic updates on another blog I started (firstbreathafter.blogspot.com).  I know I can't even keep up with this one.  For general information and a couple of quirky metaphors that is probably a good place to go.

But you must know that God is doing a lot in me right now.  He has literally come to get me out of the darkness.  I was doing pretty bad the past couple of years, stuck in a pretty extensive depression, thinking about the end of my life like it was much too near.  It really got to the point where I told God - you need to come and get me because I can't go on anymore.  And look at what has happened now.  I'm in India, serving Him.  I'm not out of the woods.  My melancholy lean won't allow that just yet - but I'm on my way.  God is moving me and I've never been more thankful.

Pray for me guys.  I think I need it.  Also if you wouldn't mind, pray for my dad.  He's going to be visiting in a couple of weeks and I hope that God will be able to show him everything this organization is about allowing him to better understand the transforming effect that Christ can have.

BOOOOOOM!!!!!
