Time for a Change

I can't hardly believe that it has been over 2 months since I put fingers to keys and brought my thoughts to the world wide web. In a way, that 2 months has been the most eventful of my short life. Since last writing I have been hired as the pastor of Pearl Baptist Church, as well fallen in love with the scriptures that we call the Bible. These scriptures have always been a part of my life, but at this point in my life they have begun to speak to me in ways that I never thought would be possible with any written medium.

I had a conversation with a buddy of mine at Truett this morning where he told me that he appreciated my stories that I had written and that I was a good writer, so I guess you might say that he has convicted me that I need to write on my blog more often.

I brought to the attention of my covenant group this morning that I needed for something to change. As I told them this morning, I don't really know what it is, but something in my life right now just isn't right. I'm where I know that God has called me to be in school, I have more friends than I've ever had at one point in time, and I have been called to pastor a church where I am quickly falling in love with the people that I minister to, and yet something feels like it is missing. All I can do for now is pray that God would reveal this thing to me. Something needs to change. Maybe it is me, or maybe it's those around me, but I need something different.

I wish I could explain what that something was so that maybe I could try and find it, but until it is revealed to me by God, I will just have to continue on the path that has been revealed. So if you've been thinking of me recently, for whatever reason, don't just dismiss it. Pray for me, and I'll do the same for you when you come upon my mind. It's time for a change, and prayer is a great place to start when something needs to change.

Grace and Peace
