Hello world!
Okay, so I’ve enjoyed reading blogs that various people post. I find it fascinating to look into people’s lives and see what happens behind the scenes. I’ve learned that many people are able to express themselves so much better by writing their thoughts and experiences than by orally communicating them. Because of this, people really disclose so much of their true selves through blogging. I think maybe even more so than they might in a face to face encounter. After having spent some time reading through other people’s experiences and thoughts, I have decided to try it for myself. So here it goes!
Who Am I?
My name is Robert Flores. I am a son, a father, a husband, a committed Christian, a pastor and a friend. I try to priortize my life in the following manner: 1. God 2. Family 3. Ministry I don’t always get it right, but I am committed to tyring my hardest to follow this pattern. I am married to my high school sweetheart and my best friend. We have two beautiful children, Isaiah (almost 5) and Yasmin (7), who teach me new things every day. My wife and I have served at a church in San Antonio, TX for 8 years as Youth Pastors/Associate Pastors. We are completely in love with our church and with the people of our community. Together with my wife, we are on this journey of knowing God a little more every day, leading our children as they grow and maturing in our calling and ministry. This is who I am in a nutshell.
Why Blog?
I have decided to blog because I can honestly say that I’ve been encouraged by reading other’s blogs. I find it inspiring to read about the challenges people face and how they choose to confront those challenges. I want this blogging experience to be informative and inspiring. I think most of all, I want whoever reads my blogs to see a real person and a real God. I want to display God for all to see. I want to show the world how God loves us so much that He is concerned and desires to be involved in every aspect of our lives. If God is conerned for an ordinary guy like me, surely He’s concerned for all who may read these posts.
So today, I enter into the fascinating world of blogging where I will share my experiences, thoughts, frustrations, failures and triumphs. I hope you enjoy Rob’s Journey.
