This is It

This is it, what I mean by that little phrase is that in about a week I will be beginning my final year at Florida Christian College. To say that the transition from internship to return to Florida was easy would be a lie, in a lot of ways it has not been easy it's been frustrating, it's been joyous, it's been very confusing and it's also been meant with great anticipation. I love FCC and I will always love FCC with a deep passion, this is the main reason why I look forward to this new year. It's my last year to truly love the place that honestly only God could have brought me to, cause this was not my first school choice (This will always be a shame for me to admit).

This past week I've been contemplating where is God leading me? I've never been a guy who could stay stagnant for very long, I often grow board with the status quo and my surroundings and yearn for a new adventure. For me this means ministry of some sort, since Indiana I've been searching, praying and longing for a new ministry a new adventure a new calling if you will. I've learned what my passions truly are this past year which are preaching, discipleship, networking and seeing people come to know Jesus in any way they can. Jesus is the reason I wake up in the morning, a good mentor of mine once told me that "when you wake up and have someone to poor into it's a good day". I have lived by this wisdom for 2 years now and it lets me know in these seasons of desert and stagnation that although I may not be serving in a local church or ministry it is still a good day, it's a good day cause I know those people I can poor myself into and I know that part of the reason I am in this season is because Christ has called me to poor into them.

This is it, the last year living at a place that I will always call home in one way or another. I am here for a reason and for those incoming freshmen let me say that it is no accident that you are at this place known as FCC. Christ has called you here and he is going to grow you here, my mission is to poor into this place and these people as much as I can and continue to learn and grow form the wisdom of some of the best professors and faculty around.

It's gonna be a great year.
