wounded warrior
A fellow journeyman struggling to rediscover his first love. These are my tears, my wounds, my struggles, and my questions. May, as the saints of old have said, they be the tools other's lives are built on.

Doors, dreams, and desicions
Something I have been praying about for awhile is joining or starting an intentional community house. I have always pictured it being in an urban setting. God may have other ideas. There is an opportunity before me to start a new monastic community. There is a missionary family that still owns a home in Michigan. With the ecconomy the way it is, it makes sense for them to hang on to it till it becomes a sellers market. In the mean time they are wanting to bless it those that have need for it. A two story, 4 bedroom house for less than $100. I am praying about using this house and property to enter into the crazy world of communal living. The catch, like I said is that it is about an hour outside of Lansing. Not the typical place new monastic communities arise. But God loves the country folk too. I hope to be able to check out the property in the next few weeks as well as start visiting churches in the area. I am greatly excited, as this could be a huge oportunity for God to move in some exciting ways. I am trying not to let my excitment run away from the obvious pratical matters that have to be ironed out. God lead me. Bring people that have the same vision for this house as you do.
