getting adjusted
Apr 27th
everything is going great!
the past three weeks have been an adjustment for magan and i. going from a set work day/week to a schedule that ebbs and flows has probably been the biggest adjustment when it has come being on mission full-time with the church. we experienced this type of schedule when we worked at camp back during our college days, but it’s MUCH different in our current setting. i must say that my amazing wife has been a champ about the whole adjustment. i love her so freaking much and i’m so thankful for the blessings that she brings to my life. i also have a great group of guys on staff at the church that keep me accountable and not allow me to become a work-a-holic, throwing my priorities out of the window.
the rest of the adjustments have gone very smoothly as well. i’m transitioning from working on web sites for the majority of the day to a number of various tasks that pull me out from behind the computer. for example, we’re in the process of up-fitting our new space and we had to dig a trench the other day to bury pipes for future wiring purposes (shown left). i’ve learned very quickly that our volunteers are some of the best you could ever have on your team!
i’ve super blessed and am still in a state of shock that this is what i get to do on a daily basis.
more to come soon. i promise. i’m trying to get better about blogging. i know i have one person that always reads.
what's new?
Apr 12th
lots of stuff is new for me.
i have shared with a good number of people, but i thought i would use post to make the announcement to everyone on the inter-webs. no, magan is not pregnant, as several people have asked when telling them the news. you may have been able to deduce using some facebook/twitter reasoning as to my announcement. okay, enough on the suspense/unnecessary hype already.
i have accepted the call to get on mission full-time with journey church. starting today, i am the production and technical director for the church.
i am SUPAR hyped and still in somewhat a state of shock. the opportunity presented itself a little over a month ago. magan and i prayed about it and sought out counsel from family and our close friends and knew that this is what God has called me/us to for the here and now. i say us because there’s no way i could do this without the awesome support from my amazing wife!
my time with s&a cherokee was great. i don’t take any of it for granted. God had me there for a purpose. i’m thankful that they took a shot on a green/fresh web designer 2 1/2 years ago. i learned a great deal technically, but also picked up a lot of people skills along the way. i will miss the friends i made there.
i won’t get into the whole story in this post. i’d like to spread it out over a couple of posts as to keep myself from only being the occasional blogger (like smooth accused me of being).
