I’m starting this blog because I’m doing something crazy. Some would even say stupid, or foolish.
I intend to quit my job serving coffee to a caffeine-dependent public and spend 35 to 40 hours a week in a “house of prayer”. The Prayer Room pays about the same as volunteering at a soup kitchen (nothing) and most people think we don’t even need one.
And yet I must do it. I am compelled to do it; and I don’t even know why. I long to know God, not in a superficial or mystical way, but to know the person Christ Jesus. To be His friend.
So, for God and angels and demons and Alyssa and anyone else who may happen to read this, this is my declaration:
I want to know God. I’m doing what I’m about to do for no other reason than to know Him. It doesn’t make sense to me or anyone else. But I’m doing it, and trying to trust God that He’ll take care of me.
Great, now I’m crying for seemingly no reason. I’ll write more later, I have to go quit my job now.

Good for you! Good luck when you quit, and know that God is there with you and he is there all the time. He must have a reason or a plan for you, because he has a plan for everyone. God Bless you!
