New Blog

newSo I've been meaning to do this for quite some time now. I've moved my blog to another site, and I've switched to Wordpress.org . I must admit that I am extremely pleased with how this is set up and the simplicity of editing post. I hope that all of you will continue to read my blog even though I have moved it to a new site and changed it's name.

With new improvements comes the inevitable desire and pleasure of more updates. The choices spoken up in the previous post have been made and life is moving forward in the calling of God. It's truly amazing how much God will work in our lives if we will just allow him to do so. Just because choices are made once does not mean that we must not continue steadfast in prayer and fasting though.  I pray that God will use me to touch lives through these simple writings. The desire to be a willing vessle will not go unnoticed by God. But I was thinking about something today that really hit me hard in the heart. God's word tells us 'despise not the day of small things.' That should be in the heart of all young ministers, including myself. This may be a small thing, but I pray God will use it to touch lives. God bless you all, yours in Christ, James Mitchell.

Discouragement, Confusion, and a Touch of Loneliness

confusedThis is just a blog. I've not tried to really write a real blog and I've more focused my direction of writing to articles about Christian living. I thought I might just vent for a second in a blog. I'm James Mitchell, I'm 22 years old about to be 23. I honestly spiritually seem to have a lot of things going for me in my life. I was just informed last week I'm gonna be trained into becoming our first Praise and Worship leader, something I've always wanted to be able to do. My pastor recently asked me to start a nursing home ministry, he put me in charge of starting a drama team and doing all plays and such for our church. I've been a part of jail ministry before, I'm head over all our media ministry. I was just ordained a few weeks ago. God is really moving spiritually for me and I thank him and Praise him for all those things and what he's doing and I'll do my best to serve in any capacity that I can.

But even with all those things going on, It doesn't exclude me or any of us from the feelings of discouragement, confusion, or loneliness. I'm gonna be the first to admit, My home life isn't great, God is truly moving in my family, but for the most part most of them refuse to let God be a part of their lives. I struggle with that continuously and desire to see them come into the truth.
