The new dream

Hey everyone maybe you read my post about killing my dream to become a full time paid "youth Pastor".  If you didn't feel free to give it a read.  But anyway I've been spending alot of time talking to God about what I am supposed to do with my life.  Right now I work Construction full time and run a Church of students in my basement.  I know it sounds like alot of fun and it is.  The only "problem" is it's not really a problem but we are growing and soon we will be to big of a group for my basement to handle.  I know this is a good thing but the problem is I need more time to do the stuff I would like 2 do with UNDERGROUND (the Church).  It seems to me that at some point something will have to break me, UG, my family, Something.  So I have been really asking God what to do.  So here is what I came up with.  Which very strangely is just like the stuff I wanted to do when I first became a Christ Follower. 
I am Mikes forgotten Dream!

I have decided to try to raise money to purchase a building.  Not  like Churches do were they purchase a fat building that sits for 6 days a week unused and useless a waist of peoples money but a place thats open for business 5 days a week were I and the other Underground workers work.  This will be our jobs.  The idea is to create a skate park slash hang out area.  Alot like my basement.  (tvs with game systems on them and a place to just be you)  The idea is to raise money so we can purchase the building so we can keep our prices low.  I would hate to create a place we someone can't come because of money.  So there it is.  It seems like a win win for me, my family, UG, and every who will work for UG.  I get to work with students for my job and have time to get the things done for UG that need to be done.  I am wondering what you think.  I am looking for input good or bad.  Please feel free 2 shoot me down back 2 earth.  Maybe I am crazy and totally missing Gods voice.  Please be honest and don't be afraid to hurt my feelings I'm a big boy.  If you have more questions like ideas 4 UG stuff or prices or other stuff just ask I'll be happy 2 share.  Thanks guys lookin forward 2 hearin from ya.

LATER,
MIKE

WOW!!! okay so this just made me super duper EXCITEDDDDD!$#@%$#

i really honestly do think that undergruonds main issue is the fact that not many kids take it seriously because of the fact that its held in your basement..the same place that they hang out everyday after school, so they dont realize that on Thursdays it is no longer just "hanging out"...and i know ive said this multiple times. and i really didnt want to say anything like "i think we need a different space" because i wasnt sure how you would take it. like i didnt want you to become discouraged thinking that i or others wouldnt like UG without another space to hold it in because that is most deffinaly not the case. but i think that a new space would solve many issues and make it much easier to connect with one another. =] so ur idea is to eventually raise enough money to be able to quit construction buy a location totally deck it out and have UG be your full time job? if so that sounds like a lot of work but unbelievably kickass! and also what is ur plan for getting the money to get this ball rolling?! ahh jfklfjaklf

this is very exciting and i really dont think that your dream is that far out of reach! i think we can do it if we all work together to get our feet off the ground!

cmnt back with answers to my ?'s pweaseeee

Okay, so first of all, it took me almost the whole article before I realized that UG was not "ugh" but Underground. "will have to break me, UG, my family, Something..." Okay, so I am a big idiot. But, secondly, but really firstly, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this Idea! I would give you the whole flippin, Effin, Friggin, lot of money if I could! I say go for it! Count us in of course! This is so you!! and Jules and everyone else, it is not even funny...I am excited for you. You know we are behind you 150% even if I am a big slacker when it comes to actually showing up for UG meetings :)
