My Update and What I've Learned




Wow it's been a long time since I have blogged and I appologize for that. But here is a bit of an update.
So in a couple of weekes I graduate from IWU. I can't believe that it's almost over for college at least for now. But I have found where I am going to live when i move to North Carolina. It's a nice two bedroom and two bathroom apt. I'm excited about the possibilities that God has given me for ministry. I was able to spend time with the youth this weekend and learn about their lives. I'm excited about building a solid leadership team with some of the future seniors. Last Sunday though was a highlight for me. I was able to see the Chicago Cubs play in Wrigley Field. It was an amazing night. The Cubs won with a Grand Slam in the Bottom of the 8th. What a game.

What I have learned lately: The closer I get to Graduation the more I realize that I'm not totally prepared for ministry. There is a lot I have to learn over the next few years. I've also learned that I really like IWU. There is a sense of community here at IWU that I don't believe that I will ever have again. Those of you who do go to IWU don't forget the amazing opportunity to build relationships with people here. I'm preparing to go into the real world and I'm more nervous than I ever though possible but I know that God is leading me to the right place and I'm excited about ministry! Thanks for those who are praying for me and for my ministry. I'm excited to keep you posted on what I am learning and how God is using your prayers to expand the kingdom...thanks to all who are standing strong to the Faith.
