Where to go from here
Well now, obviously I have not written for, oh, a few months. Yes I've been busy. I worked two jobs for part of the summer and I also did an endless amount of stuff with church.
I'm looking forward to the fall season. I start my next college semester in two weeks. I'm still working at Red Lobster. August 18th is my 1 year mark for working there. My ministry has grown some and I'm looking forward to the November retreat (it's gonna be a big one!).
So here's the thing. I'm becoming quite introspective, meaning I have starting to think way too much again. What am I thinking about? God, mostly... and my leadership in the church, my ministry, my education, my secular job, and where God is taking me with all of this. Am I having trust issues? Indeed. But I choose to stick with the Word of God. Cause ya know, sometimes faith is a matter of choice. Sometimes I don't have that "warm n' fuzzy" faith feeling and I have to decide to obey God and the teachings in His Word. Is it easy? Not at all, but more rewarding than anything could ever be.
So where am I and where do I go from here? I suppose I need to figure out where I am first. Actually, God knows where I am so maybe it doesn't even matter if I figure it out or not, because it is always changing. And as for where I'm going from here... God knows that too. It isn't up to me either. I'm following Christ and so God decides where I go. Do I always listen and follow? Nope. Sometimes I make a wrong decision or bad choice and I mess up, but God always call me back up off the ground and sends me back in the direction He wants me to go. He's cool like that ya know.
I could write a book right now but I have to go mow the lawn.
