a question i often ask many people.
identity is huge. no matter what details, comments, opinions, thoughts or ramblings i process – that is not who i am. i have family. but no matter what i share about them – that is not who i am. and no matter how long i have known them or what last name i get from them – that is not who i am. i have friends (i know – shocking) – but as cool as they think they are – they don’t define me.
in God’s story to me (and you) i get to read about how God has taken me from what was and is making me what will be forever. and everyday i get to experience it. check it out in titus 3:3-8 and ephesians 2:1-10 and romans 4:17.
that is who i am. a child of the King. a redeemed moron in desparate need of the daily touch of Christ.
who i am – who you are – cannot be defined by anything of this world. it shouldn’t be. it must not be. we are so much more than anything found explored experienced around these parts.
people say i am not normal. and by God’s grace love devotion – i won’t ever be again.
i currently have the amazing opportunity to work at one of the craziest churches i have ever been a part of. things arent perfect. sometimes i even get frustrated and hurt and confused. but its awesome. i can do any ministry Jesus leads me to and He literally is my only limitation. i am learning that we dont have a normal church or even a normal youth ministry. but i am okay with that. in fact – i am so thankful for it. it rocks getting paid to do what i would do anyway (but dont tell the bosses that!) and be able to actually have enough money to eat and buy starbucks occasionally.
i am a big fan of having a great conversation over some good grub. so come kidnap me for a meal and lets hablo it up.
