Starting Out

For a while now I have been thinking about putting the many random thoughts that go through my head down in writing. Well this post marks the official start of doing this and (what will probably be a horrible) my career as a blogger. If you want to know some more about me check out my Google profile. (see link)

What can you expect to find here? Anything that goes on in my head that I feel like writing down. For those who know me this might be a scary thing and you know what, you are probably 100% right. As the title states this blog is for my thoughts (which are random at best), my critiques (meaning when I am upset and writing probably), and anything else I find interesting or just feel like sharing. 

In writing this post my thoughts turn toward new beginnings because as I write this a chapter of my life is coming to an end. By the end of summer I will be full time at a new school, I just started a my first new job in almost four years, I will have my own place somewhere in Cincinnati, I will be a paid youth minister for the first time, and who knows what other beginnings are around the corner for me. Its kind of scary actually, especially since I am still trying to make sure all of these things happen. Yet through all this I am really not that worried. Over the years God has taught me a lot and one of the things that he has taught me is that no matter what happens it will work out for my best. He makes sure of it. I look forward to what he has in store for me.

However in looking forward, there is always a glance behind. I look back and see the many friends I have made over my 4 years at CCU. Having been on outreach for three summers I have a lot of friends scattered across the US (although mainly in the east). I think back to some of my ideas coming into school and how I view them now. How about what I thought about the city and things like that. Or what about the fact that after only three and half years of attending River Hills Christian Church, I am getting ready to step up and be the middle school minister (Lord, I pray I am ready for that). To think how far I have come in just those four years (although at times I swear it is much more than four) is absolutely astounding to me. The blessings of the Lord are apparent and I can not thank him enough for the blessings he has reigned down on me.
