May 2004
Well, my fine patrons of flamingbanana.net! (I hate that name more and more every day. Hopefully I will be changing it in Sep. when it expires.) Name suggestions would be appreciated. I have a lot to say, so bear with me. First off, a link for you to enjoy. Creation In Digital. This is an online community for Christians who enjoy making digital stuff. There are some very neat 3D wallpapers in the visual section of the site. They also have a fellowship section, along with a literary, and audio sections. I joined within 24 hours of finding it. I think you will enjoy it as well. That is, if you are into tht kinda thing. I am just now getting ready to post my first all digital pic there. You can see it on the sidebar under, "newest photo". Enjoy. Let me know what you think. I really enjoy posting there and discussing my interests. Plus, it's all Christian, so there is no need to worry about foul mouthed posts. In my personal life, I am faithfully chugging along with schoolwork 'till I get done with everything. My biggest worries are math and science. I have a lot to do before September, so I could use some prayer about that. ;-) I am really looking at going to Africa in 2005, but I don't know how it is all going to work out. You know, raising the money, being prepared. I am looking at possibly teaching a class this time. I guess this will be a real test of faith. But why Africa? I have asked myself the question on many occasions. Is it because Dr. G is sent from our church? Is it because I would rather be too hot than too cold? Is it because the pristine beauty and picturesque landscape? No. All these factors contribute, but are not the sole purpose for wanting to go. The sole purpose is so that I might go and make a difference for God in that country. Gosh, as soon as a typed that, it sounded all spiritual and preachy. I don't have everything perfect. In fact, I could use a lot of prayer right now. But I do want to further the kingdom of God. In fact, I can't honestly say the thought of being a missionary has not entered my brain. But then comes the questions. I dismiss the idea. I don't want to leave everything I take for granted here in the USA. Not that I am totally prepared to leave tomorrow, anyway. But I have considered it for the future. I have some other thoughts about the future though. Like going to college to get a degree in Computer Animation and Digital Media. But what if? What if God wants me to be one of those missionaries? What if God wants me to be one that lives by faith for the next check from the mission board, who doesn't know if his kids will grow up in a safe environment? And, to add to the question, what about a spouse? You can't find a wife who is willing to drop everything for her husband's ideas just anywhere. I really find it hard to trust God and my parents at times. I would ask prayer about that as well. I told you I had a lot to say. Just one last thing though. If you could shoot me an email with some encouragement, I would like that. I would like to hear from someone who is going through what I am going through. Thanks, Addison Todd Self-styled worldview buff and internet guru.Posted by Addison at 11:58 AM | Comments (0)
