Once in a blue moon

This all seems wierd. I think I have been here before. Yeah, I was here last February. I vaguely remember. Almost like it was a dream.
I would like to first of all say a big thank you to all of my friends who make fun of me because I do not blog. That was the encouragement that I needed. So now the time has come to re-cap my life since February.
Just kidding.
But I will make this short and sweet because I am supposed to be working. God has been teaching me all sorts of things. From being newly married, I have realize how selfish I am. Plus since I am now staying in Watertown for a little bit longer my plans have changed quite a bit. For those of you who don't know, I had a church looking at me for their youth pastor position in Michigan. They were very interested in me for over a month. I went back for the second visit and had a great time. But they wanted to look elsewhere. So now I am back to square one. Here is a question for thought. I thought that this was going to be God's will for my life. I was excited about the opportunity, I had a passion for these teens, but why would all of that be there if it wasn't God's will? Everything seemed clear and set in place where it should be and then the rug is taken out from under my feet. What is the deal? Well I am gonna think on that one for a bit.
It has been a year since my brother died. Life is not the same still, but I cherish it all the more.
Miss ya bro.

It is good to have such a positive and humble attitude about all those changes. Also, I was thinking about you yesterday, since it was a year to the day since Mike died. I am praying for you and really appreciate your testimony through it all.

Glad you decided to share your life with us again. Your candor is a real encouragement. I'm praying for you (and Val) as you try to continue following God's sometimes hard-to-discover will.
