Use Whats In Your Hands

With all the desires in my Heart to go to Africa right now it's just not God's timing. I have to confess, I'm really jealous of all the Children's Cup Missionaries and HPC missionaries in Swaziland and Mozambique. I have been twice now and there is something about Africa that God has used to Capture my heart, the KIDS, the people, the land, everything. And as of late the more I think about the things God has placed in my heart Africa has been overwhelming my mind, my thoughts, my prayers. So what can I do? Well, I have been told by great leadership that if you give God your best with what is in your hands now, he will give you the desires of your heart. That's what God has been pressing on me, Barton you want to go so bad your thinking about it all the time, but what are you doing now, so I started to pray about it. Here is what God spoke to me, Your ART. Draw till you are blue in the face, draw everything you have seen, spread the images give back what I have given you. So that's what I'm going to do, pencil and Paper, paint and brushes and let God open the doors from there. It's a pretty cool feeling that even though I'm so far away they are right here, and will be shared with others everywhere. Do your best with what God has placed in your hands and he will give you the desires that he has placed in your heart. So is there anything that is in your hands you can give your best at, I know there is for me, It's time to get started.

This Would be Awesome

OK, so Im not even close to this yet bet it has always been a really cool thought and even a dream of mine growing up to be apart of a CRT or SWAT Team. I always had this thing when I was little to one day join the Marine's and Become one of the best, do Special Forces and that kind of stuff, I was always pushing myself and trying to climb the biggest mountain so to say. Well after 3 yrs out of the Marine Corps and finishing up school, I might finally get a crack at it. Thanks to my high speed, bad to the bone Brother in Law who goes by the code name the BULL, I might be working in Law Enforcement. It would be a real Honor and priveledge to serve with these men and many of whom have been long time friends. My Heart is still full time ministry but I have learned many things, ministry is where you are right now, and, be faithful with what God puts in your hands and he will give you the desires of your heart. I have all kinds of dreams to travel, preach all over the world about my Savior's Love, Pastor one day, and even live in Africa. But it is all in his timing, I just want to be as faithful with what he has placed in front of me now as I can be. So for now if I'm going to be a police officer I want to be the best I can and push myself as much as I can to be the top in that field as well. Also my beautiful Wife like's to see me in uniform so it's a plus. But it is a cool new turn in life and it is teaching me so many new things. God is awesome, I'm just glad he has more patience with me than I do myself, I love his grace. So wish me luck, and I'll keep ya posted on how thing's go.
