Our Story, God's hand at work..


Weatherly Heights Baptist Church- my new church home and the home of my next ministry assignment. On July 16th, 2013 I was called to Weatherly as the Minister of Youth. It's been almost a month since I began this new ministry. Each and every day working at Weatherly has been filled with purpose and excitement. The people here are great and so loving. It has been a good transition as I have moved from my time at Trinity to here. 

The feeling of missing what's in the past, the people and staff at Trinity, the campers and staff at camp is still real. I know over time, as I dig further into my ministry here, as as time passes, those feelings will become more distant. I hope they never go away though. The past four years have been exciting times in my life, times that I would go back and re-live in a heartbeat. However, I'm excited as I look ahead and move forward.

I can't help but notice, how over the last few months, I have found myself not knowing what was next, but hoping that God had something planned for me. The past few months have been a time of trusting and hoping. But, once again, God provides. As we all look at the story that we write each and every day, how can we not notice the hand of God as he writes our story, when we allow Him to. When we look back in our life and see his hand in the story, I think we will see that the chapters are more vibrant, more brilliant than anything we can do on our own. 

So, as I begin this new chapter, it is my hope to allow God's hand to write this next story in my life.
