Picking up the Pace

So this past week has been exciting. We took a trip to K.C. as an office and got the opportunity to see some other churches at work. The best part of the trip was when we were able to ask a guy by the name of Justin Moxley some important questions and he in turn asked us some very crucial questions about our ministry as a whole and how we are effecting each other's ministry together.
I am trying now not to just leave the things I learned behind. I am making a goal to make an impact in every aspect of life. I feel as though I have been letting down in areas and I am making it a goal to step it up. As Justin put it, "There are people going to hell, and that isn't going to change unless we do something for Christ." He really helped me to realize that no matter how big my youth room is or how big our building is, God is going to move and work as long as we are willing to be used by him. I am just excited to see what He is going to do this next year in our church and in our country with our new president.

The Beginning of Something New


Well this is a new time a new year and new thing for me. I am excited to tell you that I am finally working full-time at Crestview Christian Church as their Associate Pastor. Jenna and I can't wait to see what the new year brings and what new things God has to teach us and show us. It never fails, but it seems as though whenever I start a new job my life and everything else just seem to get a little scattered. Its as though the routine that I was so accustomed to has now be tossed out the window and now I must get acquainted with this new schedule. What's funny is that I never thought of myself as a creature of habit, but it is funny to see just how much I am a creature of habit. 

Well I am not sure how this whole blogging and sharing of life will go, but I am going to it a try and see just how far it will take me. Are you watching closely, pay attention, cause here we go.
