A new decade

So yesterday was my 30th birthday.  I really don't feel like I'm 30 and I know I don't act like it but I have entered in to a new decade and look with excitement as to what will happen in my 30's.  That sounds so weird to me.

Over the last few weeks I've been thinking about all the things that I've got to experience in the last ten years and thought I would share a few with you. (this is in no particular order)

• Moved from VA to GA in 1999
• Been a Christian for almost ten years (this august)
• Met an amazing hot, godly woman and married her
• Had two beautiful little girls (ok Amber had them but I was there)
• Found out I'm having a boy this summer
• Mission trips to Istanbul, Turkey three times, China and Nebraska (yes it was a mission trip)
• Finished my undergrad (except one credit but for me that is good)
• Worked on staff at some great churches
• Moved 13 times
• Started a receding hair line (praying for a cure before I have to start shaving)
• Worked in Clarkston, GA with some amazing refugees from all around the world
• Joined the Reveal Church team
• Tore my acl & meniscus cartilage in my right knee
• Been to four Duke basketball games

These are some of the things that popped in my head tonight.  I can't wait to see what God has in store for the next ten years of my life and I'm positive it will be even better than the last ten years. 

Been a while..

So it's been three months since I posted anything on my blog.  It's not because of lack of things to say because God has been teaching me a ton and challenging me more than ever before.  In reality I have probably had more spiritual warfare over the past six months than ever before but I know it is for a reason and God is doing something within me that will bring Him glory.  

One of the main reasons I haven't blogged is because I've struggled with trying to be "cool" and write super spiritual statements or have the funniest things to say.  I read and follow some amazing men of God and have the blessing of knowing many of them but lets be honest they write and talk about what God is showing them not for me to be like them and that is where I have struggled.  Not sure why I feel led to be completely genuine tonight but this is where I am.  I guess it is because pastor talked about being authentic on Sunday and that is something that I truly want to be a part of my life.  

So my goal from here on out is to write at least two blogs a week on what God is teaching me in my life, what is going on with my family and what is happening with Reveal Church.  I'm pumped about what is in store for us in the near future and believe that there are a lot of people that will come to know Christ through Reveal Church very soon.  

For anyone that may not have heard we are expecting our next baby in June/July and we found out last week that we will be having a baby boy!  I'm super excited and look forward to seeing him this summer.
