the First

hello world,
I have been playing with the idea of starting a blog for the last couple months now and finally came around to doing it. this has been a crazy year for me, it has brought me to places i would have never thought possibe. its crazy to think how different of a person i was this time last year. Lets see, i was working at a bar dealling with intoxicated columbia missourians, to spending some time in a cell, to pushing my idea of "work" to limits ive never even heard of in Jasper, Ga.
the events that transpired in Jasper ,Ga at Sharptop were without a doubt life changing, I now live in Winston NC with 3 awesome guys leading Young Life, Pretty Crazy. if that is not evidence that God wants to work in everyones lives then I dont know what is. oh yea, i have a scooter by the name of priscilla. So i literally just got the call that i have been picked to be a YL leader, which is a huge relief because this week i was pretty anxious and hopeful that this would all work out. so now that it has, i can definitely feel the closing of a chapter in my life, and the beginning of a new one. all the things form getting arrested to out of the blue deciding to do summer Staff in Ga, to moving to winston. it was all leading to this moment where i feel...Satisfied. Not the i just ate 2 Chipotle burritoes satisfaction, but "I went where god wanted me to go". This is real "satisfaction" (for lack of a better word). So this was the first check back Daily (hopefully) for more "thoughts".
