>Well, I've gone about 4 months since my last post. Oops. Summer is just too much fun to be spending time on a computer (and really after all those long papers I had to write to graduate college, I was ready to shut my computer down for a whole year.)
So instead of trying to tell you about everything that has happened over the summer, I thought I'd post a slideshow instead. I hope it helps you get a glimpse of what I've been up to.
Beyond that, Life is good here. I am living at a little slower pace after having shoulder surgery. Things like this are great to help me learn the truth that God is so much more concerned with who I am than what I do. When my normal ways ministering to others, or worshipping Him are put on hold, I find that God has not forgotten me or left simply because I am not able to lead worship, or because I spend many more hours hanging out and icing my shoulder on the couch than before.
In times like this I am pushed into the realization that in much of my life I have missed the call to simply enjoy God, and bring Him enjoyment by just talking about life with Him, or like I've said before - answering Christ's call to "come and have breakfast" (John 21:12).
My shoulder will get better, work will begin soon enough, ministry like worship leading and preaching and missions will resume, but for now I'm learning to enjoy and appreciate the God who has allowed me to be still, and who is just as real in my soccer practices, and on my couch with me as He is in our church services. For this I am thankful.
Happy October.
