Is This Really Happening?

So I guess I will try this blog thing out second. Here I go!

The past few weeks of my life have been absolutely crazy. I just completed my second year as a college student a couple weeks ago and as of this past Sunday night I am a licensed minister. It kind of seems like I am in a dream really. I feel so undeserving of everything I have however I also feel extremely blessed by God who has given me everything I have now.

I became a christian at the age of 12.  I am now a "whopping" 19 year old. If you were to tell me back then that in 7 years I would be a licensed minister and be working along side one of the greatest church staffs God has ever put together I probably would have laughed in your face. WOW! What a journey this has been for me! I would just like to take some time and let the blog-nation know and read some words I have for some of my best friends a.k.a. the church staff.

Cory- I am still wondering how you were able to reach out to me. I was so quiet and now...not so much really. I have loved serving with you so much and really appreciate everything you have shown/taught me. I love that we share an office and get to laugh everyday with each other. There is no way I would be where I am at today without all of you help and guidance.

Damon- I know it has only been a couple of months of knowing each other but I also thank God for placing you in my life. I love how one minute we are throwing pens at each other or taping office doors shut then an instant later we are discussing some serious matters or problem solving little details of everyday church work. I am blessed to call you friend.

Nathan- Although you have only officially been on staff for a month I still feel close to you. I remember thinking you were God's gift to earth when I was 12 at our DNOW. Even though there were a few years between then and now where we never spoke or saw each other I love the fact that we really just picked up where we left off. Once again I am pinching myself wondering if this is really happening.

Richard- You already know that I like you the most (wink). But really you have been a blessing in all of our lives and I am truly thankful for that. You allowed me to be part of the church staff team and I am so grateful for that. You completely changed my view towards older generations(and yes I know you are not old). I thank God simply because you care about all of us. Thank you Pastor.

Well I hope everyone enjoyed my lil blurb on here. These truly are some great men that I get to work along side with. I love each and every one of them. Blog world if you run into them stop and tell them thank you and that you appreciate them. They deserve it!
