Well I've finally decided to start blogging. I've been living in Peru for the last year and if God wants, will live here for another year. Over a year ago, while going to school and working in Nashville, TN, I decided that I was going to take a step of faith and move to Peru to serve God. I didn't know how or what I would be doing but I said to myself if God wants me to clean bathrooms then that's what I'll do. Well it ends up that once in a while I do have to clean a bathroom.
Now I wish I could say that I have this attitude now that I'm actually down here. But I don't. Sometimes I do but most times I catch myself thinking either "when will I finish these tasks so that I can get done the things that really matter" or "I deserve better than this" or "the people are really going to appreciate me after the see that I've done this for them".
But the fact is that God determines what really matters, I am an unprofitable servant, and that the reason I'm down here is not to serve men but to serve God. I'm glad that God has given the opportunity to serve him in other ways such as in the music ministry, sharing the gospel with people, and teaching children the bible but I'm also glad has me clean the bathroom once in a while :)

If a commission by an earthly king is considered an honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice?

I've been saving this one for my "quote of the week : ))”; seems apropos to you, but should be all of us.
I’ve been listening to your song that is linked to your profile over and over and over again. It is just awesome!

Eh...you missed a spot.
Looks like you're having a good time but we still miss you 'round here. Well, I do. Heck, I'm the only one left that could miss you. Very different landscape around here. Talk to you soon.
God bless you, toilet boy.

I think that's the best picture I've ever seen of you.
Well, not really.
Anyhow - lots of love, bro. Glad you're doing so well.
