A lot has happened since I last gave you a mad dump.. So here we go: PERSONAL LIFE
Started a regular job (in January) working with my cousin. This has allowed me to stay financially healthy while doing Ministry. Also afforded me the opportunity to get my own car!!!
Have spent most of the last 10 months focused on me and Jesus.. The Lord has been redefining some key things in my life such as Hope, Faith, Surrender and Joy. Can not express in the right words how important this season has been to my life and ministry. Times just listening to podcasts, studying scripture and times of prayer/worship.
For me community is everything… it keeps me out of my head (thinking negatively) and keeps me focus on what matters most – God’s people. “Community is only built when you intentional invest in others and have a give/take mentality.”
MINISTRY LIFE
Had some speaking engagements in February and May. Also did some traveling to TN and Michigan. I joined our Board of Advisors at my current church, Gateway Church in Suwanee GA. I absolutely love these people and call them family.
Was offered a FT Student Pastor position at a church and I have accepted.. More info coming later next week, with an official announcement. I am cuckoo for cocoa puffs excited about this ministry and the opportunity to lead a movement of young people.
Lastly, I am working on my first book project. I am in the initial phase and process ideas/concept. More to come soon! i am really excited about t
“The degree of your victory isn’t found in our own hands but in our sincere surrender to God!” – @jordansharrett // such a good word from one of my favorite & dear friend! (at gateway church suwanee)
The simple yet thought-provoking 5 words are ministering to me today. I wonder if we change our minds about failure, we could alter our destinies. Sometimes, it is meant to simply set us free. @ Battlefield of the Mind https://www.instagram.com/p/CSPoXHULzda/?utm_medium=twitter
When Pharaoh finally let the people go, God DID NOT LEAD them along the main road that runs through Philistine territory, even though that was the SHORTEST route to the Promised Land….” — Exodus 13:17
JOY is greater than our trials and circumstances. JOY creates an atmosphere for our miracles. JOY is an enabler of Faith. Choose JOY today despite what is going on around you.
