I Made Pizza...
As Most of you know, my mom and Sister, Acacia are in Honduras while my other sister is at a friends
house. Here is something neat that happened in Honduras that my mom told me about:
“Keith and Joanna are a
couple that work there. Two days before we were there Keith and a few
other guys were out in a remote village where there was no electricity.
The nearest church was a 2.5 hour walk. The village had one Christian who
has a burden to share Jesus. Keith asked him if he wanted to be a pastor
but he said that he did but he couldn’t read. Keith told him that God
Would provide. Last night when I pulled out the proclaims and started
telling them what they were the men started laughing and crying because it
was hard to believe how quick God answered that prayer. Keith’s burden is
to plant churches in those remote areas and the proclaims will help.”
I thought that was awesome!!!!!!!
Now getting to my title
As you can guess I’m home alone, and I don’t eat much unless people are around. So I made a pizza
this evening, which Ben Chambers thoughtful said upon the situation that he’d send himself over, via
USB, and eat some with me.  I have discovered that eating without people isn’t eating. I mean, all
you have is food after all. Even though you eat the food you still are not full. Yet, when I’m around people
even if I don’t eat I still feel full in a way. Then I started thinking.
There have been lots of times that I have got mixed up and sought feeling, or sought comfort rather
than God. Matt 6:33“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you.” As a result there have been lots of times as well when I thought I “felt”
comfortable but really wasn’t. Yet there have been times when I’ve sought God and been so
uncomfortable but still somehow comfortable. It’s those times that I’ve left God out of my life, and know it,
that I forget about being comfortable which is I really become comfortable. Switching gears back to Food.
My meal is not complete unless there are people around and I notice it. In the same way when I don’t
have God at the root of my Feelings or comfort I am not filled, all I’ve done is eaten a piece of food. It’s
like only half, and the lesser half at that. As food is with no people to enjoy it with so are emotions and
comfort or anything without God to enjoy them with.
Well, that’s what happens when I make a pizza.

It is my goal to be a bright spot in the lives of others,
To express Jesus through music,
To be Free to Free others,
To go on when everyone else has stopped,
To be there for loved ones in this life.
Finally to live life as an adventure
in unity with the one true King,
then to look back at all that has come to pass and hear:
"Well done my good and faithful servant."
...in the presence of the heavenly clouds with the eagles flying above...
I am Joshua, son of the One True Living God,
Going after his heart,
Doing this all with passion.
