I'll sit right here and have another beer in Mexico

Well, I am still in the midst of figuring out what god's plan is for me...I spent time convinced it was to leave, time convinced it was to stay here, I'm still where I was

I just don't want to waste my life. I have a love for God, and for ministry, and I want to do it well...

I feel like I may be called into more of a worship leader role, which would be fine


God moved in a huge way Tuesday night at youth...it was amazing, and it was humbling that God used me in such a huge way...very humbling...

I want some MC Hammer pants

Well, I am in the process of figuring out some changes in my life. I feel like I am in a funk, and am frustrated personally, proffessionally, spiritually, and socially. So I am spending the week in prayer and significant Bible time, and I am seeking out God's answer in this. I know something has to change. What that is, I don't know, but something, whether that be my attitude, my ministry, or whatever. I also desparately need to find some people to do stuff with.

This morning, I did uncover something. I need to kill my inner superpastor. You know, that part of you that has to be perfect and achieve success in order to be happy. I was reading Velvet Elivs this morning and Rob was talking about this very thing, and it really resonated with me. So I need to go out and kill my super pastor...I just have to figure out what that means

Powerful words in a time of sadness

I got a phone call Friday (which is my day off) from the church and thought about not answering it. I'm glad I did. it was the church's secretary calling to inform me that our associate pastor's daughter, who was 22, had died.

I was shocked, this was very unexpected.

While I was not close with her, I do feel like a part of my family is hurting, as I feel very close to the staff here @ church.

It also made me appriciate my life, and how short it really is. I don't often think of death, but this has caused me to do so, which has called into question how effective my life has been. Meaning, had it been me, would I be missed?

well anyway, as I am sitting @ work today, Listening to The David Crowder * Band's CD Church Music, this song came on:

Life is full of light and shadow
O the joy and O the sorrow
O the sorrow

And yet will He bring
Dark to light
And yet will He bring
Day from night

When shadows fall on us
We will not fear
We will remember

When darkness falls on us
We will not fear
We will remember

When all seems lost
When we're thrown and we're tossed
We remember the cost
We rest in Him
Shadow of the cross

And it hit me. When life tosses us in ways we don't expect, We have a refuge...Jesus Christ...

Well played Mr. Crowder

NYWC 1

Well, first day of NYWC down. Lots of learning, lots of POWERFUL stuff. Reggie Joyner had a lot to say about change,
which really hit home, with everything going on @ church.

Tony Campolo had a lot of HEADY stuff. It was really powerful, but so out there! He talked about how time works, and how
because God is outside of time, everything is present before Him, and how Jesus is both present with us now, and is also
on the cross right now...needless to say, I am still trying to wrap my head around this.

Its been a good day. I keep praying that God reveals what He wishes to me over the course of this weekend, and that
I go back to Mishawaka renewed and replenished, so I can continue to serve the families that need me.
