I'm a "blogger" now!!

I have decided to start blogging. I feel like this is probably the most affective way to keep in touch with everyone and let everyone know how life in Big Texas is going and to keep everyone in general updated on life!

Chances are, there will be no rhyme or reason to this blog! One day I may blog about something that God has been doing in my life, or challenging me with. The next it may be of my undying love for the Jalapeno Tree! You're just never gonna know!!

Today, I am incredibly tired! It's nearly 11am and I feel like I have been going non stop today! It's been a long week, but a good week all the same. I truly say it so much to those around me and I pray that it will not loose it's truth, but I genuinely do LOVE my job. I have been shaped, challenged, pushed, and blessed more than I could've ever imagined!

For those who do not know, I work for Dayspring Church in Tyler. The church has been meeting for a few weeks over a year. We meet out of a theatre on Sunday mornings. Interesting, unique, and incredible experience! I LOVE it! I am truly blessed every morning when I get to the theatre by the guys who are on setup teams that arrive well before I do and those on the setup teams that arrive after me. The attitudes of people. The willingness of this church to serve other. To help. To do whatever needs to be done. It truly is a blessing to me. I am thankful to be a part of something as unique as this. I truly believe that God is going to do great things with this body of believers if we continue to focus on Him and NEVER lose site of our true purpose here; which is to bring honor and glory to God and point others towards him!

So life in TX has been fairly fast paced since we've been here. The first two months I lived here we did not have a home. That was fun. God truly blessed us through that time. Now we are in a home and I drive almost an hour to work every morning. There has not been a morning that I have dreaded the drive! I have regretted not waking up to my alarm a few morning! God has truly blessed us in so many ways since we've been here. I love him more and more every day and thank him more and more for his continued blessing and presence in our lives! God has been greater to us than we deserve!

I will end the blog here for tonight! In the words of my buddy Aaron "I can't think of a good ending so here it is!"
