Well, it’s been in a long time since I’ve blogged. It seems like tons of things have happened over the past couple of months. From potential job offers to new relationships, and from leading lots of different worship services to traveling to Boston. God has been opening and closing some doors in my life and it has been really fun to watch His plan start to unfold in my life.
Over the past couple of months God has allowed me to lead several different Dnow weekends and nights of worship for local churches. I love getting to minister in that way! The Merge band has really been on their game here lately, spiritually and musically. Those guys love Jesus and I am privileged to get to minister with them. I was able to reunite with a couple of friends and lead an incredible group of students in Anniston one weekend. I love youth groups that aren’t afraid to sing out, even in a small setting. It seems as though I’ve led more events over the past month than I have in the past two years. It’s a difficult balance between ministering where I’m planted and carrying it to others, but both are necessary.
I’m actually on the plane right now coming back from leading a revival service in Worcester. Massachusetts which you probably wont read till later on in the week due to the fact that I refuse to pay $7.95 for wifi for a two hour flight. Anyways, I love getting to lead worship there. The people there are so authentic. They genuinely love God and love people. I wish I could have stayed longer but there is work to be done, and I miss my Jr. HIgh family. Joey Hutto and I had the privilege while we were there to install a new sound system in their main worship area, and I must say it sounds and looks really good. Joey is amazing by the way, and I’m not saying that just because he keeps peeping at my screen while I’m writing this. The way he serves and gives is amazing and I love that about him.
I’ve invested in a new relationship that will be a month old this Friday and it has completely rocked my world. I was intentionally not looking to date and God said, “Check this out.” Well, maybe He didn’t say it just like that but it was close. Her name is Tasha, so you should probably send her a friend request on Facebook right now... seriously, go do it. I’ve been challenged so much over the past couple of months by her and the way she lives out her faith. I specifically remember one night as we were on the phone kind of late and she asked if I had looked over the scripture that she had sent me earlier in the day. I responded with a, “No, I was real busy but I will check them out tomorrow.” Long pause on the phone.... the story ends with me getting out of my amazing bed and referencing multiple scriptures. It has been an amazing journey so far and I absolutely can’t wait to see what the next few months are going to look like.
This plane is shaking all over the place and I really don’t want to regurgitate on my Mac so I’m going to have to wrap this up. Some things I’m currently doing is reading a new book with Tasha (I will release the name at a later date), reading through the book of Romans, which is amazing by the way, even though I have to read every chapter a billion times to understand it, then I have to read the next chapter for the one I’m currently reading to make any sense. Yes I realize that was a run on sentence and I really don’t care. Romans is great though, go read it. I’ve started training for another 10K, which I’m pretty pumped about. That reminds me, I have a new hatred for treadmills. The one at my house almost ate my face off. It’s my on fault I was trying to multi task, bad idea! Attention all ADD kids, don’t multi task while exercising. On another note, I was really challenged by a guy I heard this weekend at Pleasant Street. Dr. Alex McFarland, I think is his name. He is a wiz in apologetics, that's something that really interest me but I’ve yet to deeply explore. He has several books out. One which is an apologetic book for students and I hope to check that one out and possibly recommend it to my Jr. Highers.
Ok, so didn’t mean to write that much but God has been doing so much in my life lately and I haven’t even scratched the surface. Sorry this hasn’t been the most humorous blog I’ve done but the truth is, I’m just ready to get of this plane and get into a warmer climate.
