It has been a week since my last blog post. Life for Heather and I has been extremely crazy, busy, and whirlwind-ish over the past week. Here is some stuff in my life that you have missed in that one week…
*I went with a group of 23 adults and Jr High teenagers from Shannon Oaks Church to IMPACT. IMPACT is an amazing church camp at Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee. I got to worship, laugh, pray, play cards, have deep conversations, throw frisbee, and have fun with those incredible students.
*Two 10+ hour van drives.
*I got to see my family (Dad, Mom, and sister) while I was in Tennessee.
*I got to see my Dad on Father’s Day. That was special. With living so far away from my parents, being able to hug my Dad’s neck and tell him face-to-face that I love him was very special to me.
*I turned 28 years old on June 20. Only two more years in my 20s.
*Heather and I put our house in Sulphur Springs on the real estate market. Yes, 900 Barbara St is for sale. Feel free to check out the Century 21 link and the Realtor.com link, take a look around, and buy it from us.
*We got back from IMPACT Monday night. By 11:15am Thursday morning, we were in Oklahoma City. We will be here for the week and we will be going to camp with the NORTHchurch youth group. We will leave for camp on Monday.
*I am speaking tonight at my first REVOLUTION service.
*Please continue to pray for Heather and I as we are in the middle of our big transition from Shannon Oaks Church in Sulphur Springs, Texas to NORTHchurch in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Please pray for energy. Please pray for our house to sell. Please pray that we quickly connect with the people, staff, teenagers, parents, and leaders at NORTHchurch as quickly as possible. Please pray that we take advantage of every second we have with the people, staff, teenagers, parents, and leaders at Shannon Oaks Church as we celebrate what God has done and continues to do. Please pray for Ben Vos as he takes over the student ministries at Shannon Oaks Church. We covet your prayers.
