On to the next step

So this is the personal blog of Rick Anderson. The intent of this blog is to put my thoughts out for the world to see, and to keep anyone who is interested up to date on what i am up to. I hope you enjoy the ride and never forget to give all glory to God for what he has worked in you.

So to start this blog off i suppose i should let you know where i am at now. Recently my parents and I have agreed that its time for me to get going, to move on with the next step. So this Sunday, the 8th I'm heading to Boise to start working at my dad's business. What this job will include I'm not yet sure, but its a job, and I'll take it.

Today i was able to meet with my friend Josh and talk and catch up from being busy for six weeks.  I really am Glad God has given me such good friends, as we talked i really began to refocus and get back in line with what i have learned in India. For the last two weeks i have lost focus on what I'm supposed to do. My job here on earth is to serve Jesus. And i intend to find a way to bring him glory in my everyday life.

Josh and I talked about his trip to Mexico and my trip to India (see my other blog for details). I can say I am Truly excited to find a way to serve others and bring God glory. I'm tired of my old life, a life of laziness and apathy. To be honest it was killing me slowly, but by the grace of God he did not let me stay there and now i have nowhere to go but up :)

God is so good you guys, i love him so much, and he loved me first. I was inspired by a blog post of my friend last week. This video I am about to share stirred in me a fire for God that was being quenched by reentering my old world.


My deepest desire is to move forward with a attitude of being commissioned. God has placed me where I am and only in him will i find peace, joy, and victory. I urge anyone who reads this to reach for that mindset. God wants to free all who are in the bondage of sin, I pray he will use all of us to shine his light on the world.

till next time,
Rick
