It's bloggin time

Hey friends!
So I decided it's time to come out of winter hibernation, even though it just
started snowing again here in Denver...
I knew that it had been a while since I'd written anything, but I had
no idea it had been this long. 3 months. O K.

Here's a quick little update:

I'm living in Denver, CO with some great guys from JBU
Micah "Bones" Dekorne
Mark "Has a girlfriend" Dawson
and Andy "Itlalian Mafia" Yi

We're a part of a house-Church network. Awesome! basically
we meet in homes (eat meals together as a part of the service!) focus
on our neighborhoods, want to spread into other houses and neighborhoods
as we grow, emphasize the Church as the people of God gifted by Him
for His purpose and glory, and make disciples of Jesus.
We started a "church" (as in the meeting) at our place about a month ago.
pretty sweet.

As far as a job goes...I'm pretty much talking trash all day long. And I get paid for it.
Sweet job.
Actually that's true because I work for Waste Management - the garbage co.
I'm a customer service representative in the call center. So I talk trash all day.
I really love working with people who don't know Jesus! It's so invigorating.

I think I've really discovered a passion of mine for evangelism - the idea of people
coming to know Jesus and his salvation is so exciting. I love praying for that and
looking for that and building relationships and seeing God work miracles and draw
people together in relationship and closer to Him.
I have not dared to call many things in my life passions, so it's really exciting for
me to discover this a genuine passion. I see that as a great blessing from God.

Um...lets see about some other details about life since Romania.
I'm quite at peace in life right now. That's just incredible to me considering how
I was feeling as of the last post on this blog :-). Often I seem to have the impatience
of a child and the lack-of-faith fitting for an arrogant adult.
I moved out here about a month and a half ago.

I don't think I love the mountains like many people do. I think I get excited about
big flat areas like texas and little hilly areas like hawaii a bit more. Intresting.

I didn't even mention anything about the homeless shelter or anything that I got
to be a part of in Wisconsin before coming out here. that's a pity. Just know that
it was awesome and we saw (are I'm still hearing about) God do wonderful things
in the lives of many people associated with that and also in the Church of Janesville
unifying.

Well, anyway, that's a general overview. I look forward to writing more. I enjoy this.
I'm going to try to post a link to Micah's blog (he's a photographer so look there for awesome
pictures).
Sometimes following Jesus is just real fun.
