Things i'm thinking today...

It's been a few days since i've posted some thoughts about life and what all is going on in my life. I feel the need to share that now. I'm really feeling at home here in Knoxville. I mean, i miss Canton but i'm liking East Tennessee life. I've seen all 4 seasons here and I'm digging it. The Summers have been hot and I hear it's only going to get hotter. The fall, well...is INCREDIBLE!!! UT Football is insane. Winter is not too shabby and the spring is nice as well. The city, well i'm learning new things about the city and area every week. At first I felt like the new kid in school not knowing where to start and such but it's turned out pretty good.



The Bank job. Well, it's a bank and it's a job. I'm not crazy about it but it is paying the bills and for that I'm thankful. I really feel I could be back in full-time ministry. I like the church i'm serving in. They allow me the opporturnity to invest in the lives of their students and do something I love...lead worship. God has been giving me a passion to lead His people. I love it!! I pray He continues to open the doors to allow me to do that. I have met alot of great people at this church and I'm excited about who all He has brought my way. I miss the flexibility of ministry. This probably seems like i've been rambling but i've attempted to type this thing now...4 times and each time the internet goes down. I've had some great conversations with my pastor and others here lately. Asking tough questions, what makes us different, what makes our church different than the rest, what can we do to change things or to grow or what can we do in our personal lives. TOUGH stuff...But it stretches us. God has been teaching and molding me here lately. It's been great, it's been tough, its been difficult but i'm thankful for his Grace that allows me to Be.

What's God teaching you?
