For those of you who don't know me, I am kind of a goofball. I was allowed to play sports in High School mainly for sympathy (not that I am physically impaired or anything I just have the coordination of a two year old). I eased through high school and college, caring little for my grades. I have made a lot of mistakes.
But beyond all of those mistakes, God is still blessing and using me, and for that I am truly grateful. Out of what seemed a terrible situation God has led my beautiful wife and I to work at a wonderful church for a wonderful pastor and has given us more than we could ask for. He has let me work in different church roles I didn't seem ready for, let me teach a wonderful group of teenagers and sixth graders, and let me run a great camp.
I think the coolest thing is that I am getting paid to do what I would pay to do. I get to preach every day, I get to attempt to help a bunch of teenagers through the problems that I faced not too long ago, I get to learn new things all the time. I love my job. I love my church. I love my friends, and I really love my life.
So I just wanted thank God with this first post for all he's given me, and remind Him that I still know I don't deserve it.
