All's well that begins well..

Well, its hard to believe, this Saturday nights service will be my 8th here @ FBCO; I've been here for 2 months! Things are going great thus far, I am really getting plugged in and getting to know the staff, making some friends and formulating relationships with people in the church. My apartment is looking good (due in no small part to mom's touch); and I am enjoying rocking the bachelor pad. Kate is coming to visit in less than I week, man i can't week; being away from her has been tough, I am more ready now than ever to marry this girl, COME ON JUNE 11!!!!! While this transition has been a challenge, it has been exciting, exhilirating and grown me as a believer and as a man; it's pretty cool to get paid to do what you love to do, to get paid to lead worship and get to worship God.... pretty awesome! God is teaching me to be content, to be calm, and to trust, trust Him completely; something I have struggled with in my walk. There have been lonely times up here, trying times, confused times, but through it all, I know that God is in control, so there's really no need for me to stress about it. I am blessed to turned to this chapter of my life so quickly after college, and thank God for bring here to O'Fallon. I am thankful for the church, for all the people and for my position here, truly a time of growth for me. Man, I still can't believe I live in Illinois... wild. Anyways, thanks for reading, until next time...
