Josh's Personal Fundraising Page

Hello! I hope you're well and blessed. Life's a blessing in and of itself, which I know is super cheesy but I'm starting to get why people say it now.

A year ago, I hated the name of Jesus. Sometimes, it was just a nagging in the back of my mind about how cheesy statements like "Life is a gift from God" really are--which I'd use criticisms like these as an excuse to dimiss Him--and sometimes I'd sit in the church for any number of reasons wanting so badly to run full sprint out the back, with only our third virtue of Obedience as the reason for sticking around. Eventually I came around, and God kept me in the ministry for the year, sometimes kicking and screaming on my part. One year of missionary work and a lot of family drama later, and I can say with full confidence that God is the only way not to focus on myself, not to run out of the back of the church just because it's hard. Going home for the summer, I had one goal in mind, of which I've had mixed results: to love my family; to will their good and to sacrifice of myself when necessary. I've found that in order to do this properly, I have to follow God's will. If I strive to discern God's will for me for the day, keeping Him on my mind, then I can love my family and those around me, and if I don't keep God on my mind, then I can't. 

I'm coming back for a second year to keep loving my family, to keep learning to rely on God, and to learn to be a leader--which so far means admitting how much I don't know about being a leader. Pray for me, and know I'm praying for you. Don't forget you've got a purpose, God always provides ("For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable." -Rom 11:29) God bless, you're an amazing child of God.
