Thanks For Being Patient

Years ago when I took a volunteer youth pastor position I had no idea how God was obviously preparing me for a journey that I never would have thought I'd go on.

I am so thankful for all the things that God has taught me. I look back and see how so much has changed since I was 19 years old volunteering in student ministry.

Here’s what hasn’t changed…

• I’m still humbled that God called me to do what I get to do.
• I’m still convinced we live in a world that desperately needs the forgiveness, hope and love that only comes through Jesus.
• I’m still figuring out what it is to be a fully-devoted follower of Christ.
• I’m still discovering how to help others be all that God designed them to be.
• I’m still passionate about the potential for the local church and its impact in people’s lives.
• I’m still waiting to see what God does next.

It's been awesome to have a front row seat to see people commit to following Jesus. To see people experience physical, relational and spiritual healing in ways that could only be classified as miracles. And to have the opportunity to share that experience with people I love.

What an honor. I don't deserve it.

I’m still a work in progress. He must become greater. I must become less. Why doesn’t that get easier? You’d think I’d learn.

In case you haven’t figured it out, God’s not done with me yet. Please be patient.
