how you do it! i have been trying to keep up with my own and an
underground one. to be honest, the underground site is becoming

| Wow... I just looked at the date of my last post. I've never been
too good at journaling. Blogging is even harder... cause you know
people are going to read it. I guess I feel that I always need to
say someting profound, cause I know that people I "lead" will be
reading this page. But I don't have anything profound to
say.
I've been reading about my friends' lives and how they are struggling;
feeling at the end of their rope. My first thought is, "Man, I
don't know what to do to help them." I think this thought comes
from a combination of a genuine desire to help (because I really care
about them), mixed with a desire to legitimize myself and my job.
My motives are so often mixed.
Jesus asked His disciples a few times throughout Scripture, "Where is
your faith." It may be wrong, but I find comfort in knowing that
the men who would eventually give their lives for this God doubted,
didn't trust, and misunderstood Him, too. I think my lack of
prayer for my friends, and my
time spent worrying about them shows where my faith lies: in my own
ability to solve the problem. In this season of life I've seen my trust
shift to myself. My trust in my God must return to what it is
required to be: the core of who I am and everything I do.
"Without faith, it is impossible to please God." (Hb 11:6)
To my friends who will read this and are struggling: I am praying for you. May you see God's grace and peace.
