We're all just taller Children

I had some witty intro to this blog revolving around the title, it involved Lego sets, Tonka trucks, and astronauts. But after reading it over a couple times I decided it was as good as Sara Watkins solo album (for those of you who have listened to it understand that that isn't very good). So I nixed it all and went in a different direction (which is what i think Sara Watkins should do).

I decided that a blog was necessary as multiple things have been and will be happening in my life that I could use some prayer for. I recently acquired a job working at the MEC here in Winnipeg (praise God!) it is one sweet job, I sometimes wonder whether it would be possible for me to do it for the rest of my life...cheap gear and cool people, I don't think I can complain about it. The part of this job that I am worried about is that I didn't quit my previous job of painting, so I am currently working two jobs which seems to be working out, but I fear that I might burn out working 6 sometimes seven days a week. On top of those jobs I am trying to work on a Briercrest DL course, balance a social life, and prepare a sermon (I was asked by my Pastor to preach one Sunday this December, please pray that God would speak to me and I can in turn relay that message to my Chruch). So as you can see I am a little stressed out (most of which I did to myself) but some extra oomph right now would really be helpful and the ability to discern what I can cut out of my life and what needs to take priority (relationships, Devo's, prayer,...etc).

I think this next prayer request a number of us might share. We have an opportunity to return to India and I have no clue whether this is something that I should commit too. I can't stop having these doubts in my mind of how Short Term missions don't do any good. I can pray for the people of India here just as much as i can there, but then at the same time that is such a lie because it is so different when the people you are praying for are in your presence, argh! So much confusion in my mind right now on the topic of this India trip. Please pray that God would reveal to those of us who need to go a sign (a letter or email would be pretty nice too).

Well those are my happenings (my struggles).
