Oh the Places You Go…

You have Brains in your head.  You have feet in your shoes.  You can steer yourself any direction you choose.  You’re on your own.  And you know what you know.  And you are the Guy who’ll decide where to go. – Oh the Places You’ll Go, Dr Seuss.

We have had a crazy Summer.  We have been many places.  We have gone to Global Camp with the Youth, David Crowder and the Fun Factory, We are heading To Six Flags in a couple of of days and we went to Damascus, Va and Boone, NC.  It is has been a great summer.

Our Family is going in many directions.  Clare starts K3 this year at NGCA, Emma is starting first grade at NGCA, Naomi is beginning to teach K4 at NGCA and I begin Nursing School at Dalton State all in August.

God is moving us in directions that we did not forsee and he will continue to move us in directions.  He moves US many times and we do not realize that we have gone, until we get there.

This is what is like to live in God’s will.  I have been doing youth ministry for over 20 years and God is leading me to go to nursing school.  For the next four semesters, I will be doing Nursing and Youth ministry.  In September, I will go part time at the church and focus solely on youth ministry.  My passion is teenagers and helping them make God famous in Ellijay.  And it will continue to be.

It takes faith to trust God to lead us.  We have been living in the that faith for years.  And we will continue to live in this faith.  It is exciting place to be.

In Matthew 17:20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
