I had a conversation with a friend today. We talked about school in september and where life was going and where it has been. This made me realize I am about to take one of the biggest steps in my life. something that in the last 314 days i have been preparing for. Some may think oh it is just collage, it's not that big of a deal..... Well there is more on the plate then education.... My whole future depends on this september. i am going to be taking a youth ministry program but before i am taking omega.
I made this test that asked how well do you know James. One question was what do I want to do with my life? Two of the answers were A0 music producer or B) a youth pastor. Almost everyone picked music producer. I figure this is for one of two reasons. i hide my faith and choices in life. or they cant ever see me being a youth pastor. Some people know my dream in life and most don't
My dram is to become a youth pastor. I want a youth group that is grounded in faith. I don't want them to hide it, like i have. I also (on the side) start a record label. I want to record under privileged kids who have alot of talent but no way to show the world. I'll help them get their name out there and maybe even get record deals. I want to do tours with the youth that want to make music their career. i want my youth group to hold conferences of thousands. Most of all i want God to be in it all or it means nothing.
To follow God it will cost you one thing. Everything.....
I've put off collage for 3 years and the best way to describe the reason for this was by Edgar Alfaro, It wasn't time yet. I'm glad i didn't go then cause i needed to really realize that it's not just my plan...... I realize that my faith (up to this point) was built of what everyone else thinks. Don't get me wrong it is not bad to know what everyone else thinks but don't build your faith of what your told. dig in and discover it for yourself.

- i come from a city thats broken were people abort ship and live life for that single thing that they think is "hip" but their hearts fall apart like a lepper on a tred-mill their minds change more then piggy banks never hitting the brain breaks they do what is cool people want too fix the problem but time has got them they don't got the time we can all talk till we find ourselfs laying on the pavement but i come from a city thats broken If i come from a city... a world that is broken, torren appart and beaten so badly that Satan is the ruler of the world..... I think it is time for us as a team and indaviduals to take back what God has made and show the world show your city show your local homless person grace

Hey James:
Awesome stuff, follow your dream, this is great and make sure that you keep God in the center of it at all times,and we will see you move to many heights, higher than even you or I could imagine. Why yes, all because our God is the most awesome-est ever and what God has in store when you make yourself available and a willing vessel, will be unbelievable. Far beyond what you can imagine or dream. I will pray for you daily during your venture and walk. Way to go!
