A U2 break

I have been feeling pretty drained and overwhelmed these last few days. It is a time where I would say that there was not much left in the tank. A trip out of town has been so timely and so needed.

I have to say that i am not going to be doing too much. Last night my wife and I headed down to the Rogers Center to take in a concert by my favorite band ever U2. The music they play is so powerful and it really ministers to me. One of my favorite songs is called "Elevation". It talks about God digging deep into our souls, helping us to see what is inside and then taking us to a new level. I need that!

What have I discovered? I am very passionate about helping struggling teens! I am deeply concerned about issues of social justice! I love the nation of Dominican Republic and the beautiful people in that country!

I have also learned that in order to "elevate" the Boaz ministry to the next level, I need to be more active in raising awareness and funds for the ministry. I want to see us reaching more people! I want to see us get the home we looked at and start taking in teens who are in need of safe and nurturing environments.

Another of my favorite songs by U2 is  I Still Haven`t Found What I`m Looking For. This song talks about a journey with God that has its ebbs and flows. The writer is talking about not reaching that place where he wants to be with God. That is me. Sometimes I feel I am there and sometimes I know I could be going so much deeper.

I am trusting that during  my time away I can rest, elevate my soul and move deeper with God! I am thankful for the U2 concert, it really was a blessing!
