Whats to come....

Here I am entering into my 25th year of being on this earth. I have just spent the last hour reading through some of my old posts on this blog. It is interesting to read back and see how God has been leading my life and reading about things I wanted to accomplish and have done so. I don't regret anything I have written on this blog over the past 4 years that I have been recording my life. If you do read this feel free to go back through my posts and see where I have been. Usually i take this time to reflect of the past year of my life but I feel my last few posts have done an adequate job of that. So I would like to talk about what is to come.

As I enter into my 25th year of life I am preparing for marriage to my beautiful, loving and precious fiance Leanne Plouffe. Last year I wrote that I wanted to marry my best friend and ministry partner and Leanne was the women I had in mind but I knew I had to wait it out for her to want to be with me. It only took about 4 months to happen, as God was already at work in her heart and mine. In the next 6months we will be wed and begin our life together as one. I am looking forward to this as she has become the second most important thing in my life next to Christ. I trust that God has brought us together and will continue to use us in ministry for the sake of his kingdom.

Speaking of ministry I look forward to where God is leading me in my service at Joe's Place. We have been going season of growth and we have many new youth coming out to Joe's Place and good number of them have been making life changing decisions to follow God. Also I have been able to release a lot of the jobs I was having to do and begin to focus on just out door trips and male discipleship. I am hoping to set up more trips and activities outside of Joe's Place that will raise up young men of God. I have a lot of skills and resources at hand I am know getting the training and getting in to shape to lead these trips effectively. With the help of the Cornerstone outdoor ed class. My hope is that I can do a lot of networking and training this year so that next summer in 2013 I will be able to run one over night canoe trip, run the dusty moose with a team from Joe's Place, travel to Calgary and do a service trip and do a hiking trip in Banff. Before all this can happen I need to set up a training schedule and service learning trips. Through all of this I pray that I will be able to connect with some of the youth in moose jaw and see them meet Jesus and grow in their faith.

I pray Lord that this is your will for my life and if it is not that you will make that clear to me and if it is that you will bless me with all that I need to do this. I desire to pour my self out on your behalf to lead others to you. May my life continue to be an example of your love to this world. I ask all this in your holy and heavenly name of Jesus. Amen.
