The End of the Beginning of MY Life
“when pharaoh drew near, the people of israel feared greatly and cried out to the lord. they said to Moses, “it is because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? “
Exodus 14:10-11
so as most of you may know i have moved from Bakersfield to a billon of different places in search of what ever you would like to call, My life. right now in this period of life i live in Carpinteria California, and i will admit the state in which i live here is great. But alas, i cannot for a second call this a place where i will “settle down.” i feel God has called me to the great city of San francisco to call people to repentance and new LIFE in him, that through the great Gospel of Christ God might gain more glory. I am privileged to be apart of this pilgrimage. and God is guiding. this post is an urgent call to prayer. i feel like the children of Israel, the red sea before me and the army of Pharaoh behind. although i feel god has called me to San francisco and although i have tried to make my way up there, this endeavor seems to be more challenging than i once thought. and truly i need God to move (me!) two days ago i was approached by my roommate and told that i was to be out of the house by the end of this month, not forcibly but because i had made it clear that i would only be staying until november. almost two months ago i had an interview at the apple store in San francisco to determine weather or not i will be able to transfer from the apple store in santa barbara, and i have not heard a single word in the past 7 weeks. I am called to be a worship leader, something that excites my heart, a blessing to be able to lead Gods people to give glory to him through song. i have no place to go, i feel i am called to be up north, but i really dont have any solid way of living there with out a job, san francisco is one of the most expensive cities to live in the world. with the armies of egypt and behind me, the luxury of Carpinteria, the comfort, the beach, the amazing church body (are there not enough graves in carp lord?). and the red sea before me, expensive living, hostility towards christ, the “heathen world” (great snorkeling). i trust God who in times past has shown himself faithful, IN HIS WORD. “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.3 Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted” lord be near, lord drive me to seek you, and give me courage to trust you.
