Welcome to my thoughts....

Hello everybody! I hope all is well with everyone.  This is my first blog, and my introduction.  Most times, my blogs will not be too long.  Some days, they may be a couple sentences, other days they may be much longer essay like creatures.  It will all depend on what is going on in my head at the time.  That being said, most of my blogs will be about what is going on up there in that skull of mine.  Sometimes it may have to do with sports.  It may have to do with Spirituality, it may have to do with school.  It may even have to do with a love interest. ;)  And maybe i will just summarize how my day or week is going. But who knows?  Really, i just have this blog so people can keep up with what is going on in my life and can listen to my thoughts and get a better idea for who i really am.  I will try to update and write rather frequently, but i make no promises.  So here we go... time for Logan's Thoughts.

Last night, i met a very cool person.  Jake (my roomate) talks about him all the time.  His name is Zach Presten.  Well today (November 17, 2008), Zach will leave the United States on a journey to the country of Jordan until early December.  That is pretty cool.  I mean, Jordan! Wow.  That is amazing.  Zach is going to be talking with college students there about Jesus and the Koran.  I think it is really awesome.  God has really put Zach on my heart since i met him last night.  I prayed for him and will continue to do so throughout his journey.  While talking to Zach last night, he told me about an opportunity that many college students at Midtown Community Church will have.  That is a spring break mission trip to Jordan.  That immediately caught my attention.  That would be cool.  However, the catch is the price, of course, isnt it always?  But still.... Jordan for Spring Break 09; what a story to tell your kids huh?  Anyways, just thought i would share that quick story about Zach. 

Last night was also a big night for me, because I prayed a dangerous prayer.  By this I mean i prayed for God to radically grab a hold of me and make sure that i was focused on him.  I begged for him to do something that would definitely grab my attention and would make me focus in on Him.   Right now, I feel at times my eyes are not always on God as they should be. I just feel like my relationship with God is lacking.  And I blame myself.  And it seems like I have felt this way before, and now I have fallen back into this feeling again.  And I am tired of it.  So I have called out to God begging for me to be able to get closer to him.  Begging for this love of his to pour out of my life and into other people.  That is what i want.  There is no greater satisfaction than the love of God.  So that is why i prayed this "dangerous prayer."  I do not know what will happen.  I know God will work and will truly show me his glory, but I may have to go through trials to get there.  But that is okay.  I want to.  Because I want to know Him more!  I leave you with this:

And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.  Romans 5:3-5 (NASB).

Sincerely,

Logan McElroy
