The Bible in a Year and other stuff!

So I stepped up to the plate and decided that I was going to read the Bible in a year, so far its been great; I've learned alot about myself and my relationship with God, and I am only three days into it! So far ive been through Isaiah 1-6, Matthew 1-2, and today Romans 1-2 were it talks alot about trusting God and and being obediant, something I have kinda struggled with. for the longest time I knew I was called to have some part in ministry wether it be as simple as teaching a class or leading worship or even a youth minister... I dont know yet, but im pretty sure I will find out. as I was reading through Romans 1-2, three verses really stuck in my head, this is from the message,

*Romans 1:17 " the person in right standing before God by trusting him really lives."

*Romans 2:4 "God is kind, but not soft. In kindness he takes us firmly by the hand and leads us to radical life-change."

*Romans 2:13 "Doing, not hearing, is what makes the difference with God."

As I grew up, I picked up the guitar not knowing what I was getting into; I had never really thought I could sing, I was too shy to play infront of people, I had no vision of what I wanted to do with giutar playing, and had no clue I would be eventually leading worship for the youth group at The Attic and occasionally church on Sundays... But you know what, God has a funny way of doing somethings, he has lead me to a "Radical life-change.", because I was bold enough to stand before people (with the help of one Nic Burleson) and share the gifts God has given me peoples lifes have been changed, and thats awesome to think that I helped do something that important. It was because I not only heard what God was telling me, I acted out on it, and that has made all the difference!

So as I finish, I ask that you pray for me. Pray that I will be obediant to what God has to say to me about my future in the ministry (worship leading, or youth ministering). I am 100% positive that whatever he has instore for me will be the best for me.
