God Has Funny Timing

God has a funny way about revealing things to us. Have you ever thought about that? Here’s an example: I have thought about setting up a blog for a long time now. On December 5, 2007 I decided to setup this Vortex blog. Well, about 2 hours after I setup this blog, I was reading the blog our church started: Northview Christian Life. I decided to post a comment and as soon as I saved the comment, God hit me with an idea for another blog that we could promote this Christmas season to encourage people to give: http://www.giveupone.com/.

Suddenly, after sitting out of the blogging world for a while, I was now running two blogs and the GiveUpOne idea has touched a lot of people in just 2 weeks!

How often in life do we miss God’s plan for us? How often do we get an idea from God, but blow it off because we’re too busy.

I challenge you to stop and focus on ideas when you feel they are God inspired. Who knows, with God’s help and a small step of faith from you, amazing things will happen.

Welcome to Vortex Ministry

Hey - If you're not blogging these days, you're just out of it. I guess that's what they say. Who "they" are and why I care I don't really know.

But....I thought I better launch this blog to kick off some initiatives that I'm working on with starting a new ministry.

What is Vortex Ministry?

A vortex is known as a whirling mass that sucks everything near it into its core. Vortex Ministry exists to help people get sucked into Jesus. We exist to demonstrate that there is a better way to live, a better way to treat others, and a better way to be follow Jesus. Our mission is to propel the gospel of Jesus Christ through a message of hope, inspiration, and encouragement. We exist to share how God is working in our lives and in the lives of others.

We believe that everyone is a story teller. What’s your story?

We've got so many ideas running around about where God wants us to take this ministry. Sometimes it's a little overwhelming. I plan on expanding on the vision sometime soon, but I wanted to post a link to the first website initiative we're creating.

This website exists to allow people to share how God is working in their lives. We want and need your stories on this site. Post your story today.
