Incredibly Grateful

Today I found a Christmas card on my desk, unsigned. Such an act is something wonderful, something generous, something that is of God. There are moments in ministry, in my life, in the church's life that people and God will surprise you. Today is one of those days and I must say I am incredibly grateful for that. Whoever you are, thank you. And thank the good Lord for His faithfulness and call to people to do amazing things. Merry Christmas to you and I appreciate you for everything (and I am not just speaking to the person who put the card on my desk but all who are a part of my life).

I Have a Wonderful Love for this Place

When I found out I was moving to KC a year and a half ago, I would've told you I'm going to be there for just the time of school. I'm going to get out of there asap, move on, go closer to home after school, etc. However that has certainly changed. Last night I got to spend some time with some guys from my church, both older than me, married, and have kids (of course I do this every weekend). And in that moment I realized how much of a family I have here in KC. Not biological obviously, but truly in North Star. It's an awesome thing to say that I truly love living here with my church family. I have no idea what lies ahead after school, but I know it's going to be incredibly hard if God calls me elsewhere. I must say I'm incredibly blessed by God to have such wonderful people in my life and I am very thankful for that. So thank you to all of you who have welcomed me in your life here in the NKC/Liberty/KC area. I love you all so much and am ecstatic to be here with you.

Sitting in Class...

As I'm sitting in class on this rainy Thursday morning, I am realizing my hair is getting really long. When my hair is edging my view of the top of my Macbook, I know it's getting really long. You may be wondering, this is no profound observation and I am just wasting my time reading this blog, which is definitely a feasible thought, however I must point out that hair growing simply shows the profound construction of time and that time is flying by (how my hair always sneaks up on me). So the question remains to get it cut or not? You probably don't care so I'll get off the subject.


Speaking of time flying, I am hoping that the next two months really fly. There are several reasons for this: class will be over for a little bit, I will get to go home to see family for Christmas, my current lease will be up, and finally snow will be coming down (hopefully) rather then it staying to the west in Denver (2 feet of snow, that's awesomely ridiculous). I must say this October has been one of the busiest, ever. And while it has been enjoyable, there have been some very stressful points that I'm looking to leaving behind.
