pressin on

People have asked me lately, "Are you excited to start your job?"....honestly that question really takes some thought. I know this is where God has me to go in His will right now but there are still some 'what if ...' thoughts. Thoughts of what if I would be in a relationship right now right now or what if Athletes in Action would have accepted me in March. I know this is something I need to die to daily and pursue Christ on the road to Tallahassee but at times it doesnt come that easy.

My heart though is moving forward and growing in its acceptance of God's will and realizing there is so much opportunity to serve Him in the here and now. I used to tell other people this..'everyday is the most important day of your walk with Christ'...now that it something that I feel like I am really trying to apply. There have been many days of heartache....there are many days where I wish I was just raising support for Athletes in Action but I press on...but with this job in Tallahassee God has given me an amazing opportunity to seek and serve Him and so I press on in that. SO when people are asking me now if I am excited about my job I tell them I am more excited to impact people and build relationships there than the actual job because after all I am there to make a difference for Jesus Christ....to tell people of His amazing story and His love for each and every one of us through the cross. I am so looking forward to meeting coaches and administrators and student-athletes with every relationship forged with an opportunity available to give glory to God and share His truth. God's vision is much bigger than mine for my ministry to others in Tallahassee but I go with the faith that God will show up in huge ways through obedience and supplication to Him.

I am excited about this journey to Florida again because I will be taking it with many of you all. If you are checking and reading this blog then that for sure tells me you care about me in an extraordinary way. I thank all of you for reading even if its just 1,2, or 15 people. I pray that you all feel comfortable leaving comments and thoughts but even if you just read it means the world to me. Thanks for the incredible support each one of you gives me on a daily basis....

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me
