Where's the Time?

Lately I've had less time for myself to do the things I enjoy. Right now instead of getting some much needed sleep before a LONG day tomorrow, I'm writing this blog post.

I have made time to upload a lot of new pictures of what's going on right now. So if you click on the "Photo Gallery" link to the right, you can see those. If a picture's worth a thousand words, I can shut up now. Enjoy.

Broadcast

This is a blog post I did for our church staff blog at http://crossviewconnect.com. I figure this way I can get a little bit more mileage for my efforts. Cheap? Yes! Do I care? Nope. Enjoy. You may or may not have heard our student ministry's new name, BROADCAST. With the new name comes a new identity and a fresh perspective on what God is wanting to do with students in Rockmart. The name is simple, we want to "broadcast" the name of Jesus to the world. Starting in our own community and branching out from there. This idea is directly linked to our church's vision to reach the unchurched and lead them to become fully devoted followers of Christ. What this means... It means that the time is NOW! Spread the word, Crossview is the place for students (and their families)! It means that we have to be ready to build relationships with students who come to us broken and hurting, looking for a place to belong. It means that the enemy is TICKED OFF because he knows...

Pushing Through

I've been going through a spiritual dry spell lately. There's a few things I've been working on and learning how to do, but nothing that's really getting me excited. I'm still in love with God, but sometimes we don't "feel" in love; but that's when we must make the choice to love, even when our emotions run low. So here's a few things I've learned about pushing through a dry spell: Admit it - Until I reached the point of admitting I was in a dry spell, it really didn't hit me. And it wasn't just about admitting it to myself, it took me verbally saying it out loud to another person. See the patterns - Over the last few years I've noticed a pattern with my spiritual low points. When I'm paying attention, I can sometimes anticipate them and be ready. (Honestly, this most recent one blind-sided me and that's made it worse because I've been beating myself about it.) Push through - The Christian life is hard, if...

What a Difference a Day Makes

So, today would've been exactly 35 days away from me moving into our new apartment in Columbus, but that's not going to happen. We received a phone call this morning from the apartment complex that the apartment we originally looked at was available to move in as early as Friday! So while I was planning on patiently waiting for April 27th to start living and working in Columbus, God was orchestrating this new plan. That's not even the best part. Last night was an INCREDIBLE night at our youth services. It started out typical, but once I started teaching I could tell that God was up to something different. It came down to me teaching through one of my favorite passages, Isaiah 6:1-8 . I won't go into the details of what I talked about, but it came down to making a choice. I didn't challenge the students to make this choice (the typical student pastor route), I made it . Right there, on the stage. The choice I made was to do whatever God called me to do. Wha...
