My Life to Date…Sort of.

So here is the deal so much has gotten on in the past couple of days…now is a good time to start to process it all First my ministry placement, LOVE. Well there are days that I want to crawl in a corner and make everyone leave me alone! I have so much to do and, not much help to boot. I am really just at the point where it kind of depends on the day…if I like it or not. I am responsible for most if not all Web Marketing. While I like this i really do not have the time to maintain this, AND research new ways to web market. I have been very successful with our Social marketing, but outer than that not much has changed. I would love to see some of my ideas come to life.I just don’t have the time to research them and find ways to implement.Thus comes the frustration.

Second is friends, I have finally begun to build that core group of friends whom I love. They are truly a blessing in my life. You all know who you are =)…Triforce, and T-Team and more. I have found some of the best people you could find on earth! I would list you out, but then I make people jealous. I am really wanting a group to stretch me and grow as a man, and a leader. Third is GI Life. Much different than what I expected. There are two types of GI’s. The ones that scoot on by and really just are here taking space, and really not affect the ministry or other people. Then there are the ones that realize what a GI is about and dive in to self-development and training for the next phase of life. Speaking of next-phase-of life. I am a huge crossing point once again in my own journey.

So I am a Management Associate,I have a ministry placement and help out my manager and grow my interns. I thought I would have no problem with this. Then I saw ATF live at Hamilton and I had tears running down my face as the drama was done on stage by some of my favorite people. I was taken aback by this. I was so moved by them. Then I had this urge to act again…like a cold heart coming back to life…not in the sense that the passion ever die it just was reawakened again. So I say all this to announce officially I will be trying out for MT next year! I am excited to see what the Lord does! I am going to finish the commitment of an MA year, but next year I hope to be on the stage…able to use my talent for the Lord.

Dedication...Got to Have It

So this week my dedication has been tested more than every. I am a part of a drama troop. I am the Director of Shattered Clay. I have not been to bed before 1:00AM just about every night this week. There have been plenty of times where I did not want to go. I was so tired and selfishness can in and make me think of myself. Tried to make me think that I was more important than others. That my feelings was more important than being supportive of my Team. F.y.i. I love my Lead team! Any ways there has been some real gut checks going on. I am so happy that the Lord has put such a passion in my life for the things I am dedicated to. The passion far out weights the pain. Christ is more that enough to sustain me through the day.

Also my ministry placement is teaching me tons! I some time have to go to meetings and schedule thing with Staff members and I am in charge of the meeting! Me, the one person who could not concentrate in school without pills, in charge of a meeting that could affect an entire department for the ministry. So humbling that God has placed this opportunity in my life. There are also multiple responsibilities that I have over me. So many things demanded. My mind is constantly in motion about ideas, concepts, reports and...dedication. I really do not have a supervisor, or someone over me giving me demands and deadline for projects. I could just sit back and get the bare-minimum done. To be honest some days I do. Most of the time though I put my full heart into anything I am tasked with. I have grown so much in the past couple of months that I have been a Graduate Intern.

The lessons I have learned this year have been completely different than last year. There are not the same hardships and scenarios to deal with. I am so excited for the rest of the year and to see what Christ is going to do in me, and through me. Let's get to it! GI's FTW!
