Spring Break....

So as I sit with a cup of coffee, the office is slow this week. No services this week but I find myself busier than ever. Taking a look back over the past few weeks it has been a roller coaster ride that keeps on coming. Preparations for Easter, teaching students the truth about Christ and the Cross and Resurrection and now the aftermath. I sit wondering if we have truly walked away with a deeper understanding of what Christ has done for us? I ask myself, what could I do more to remember what Christ has done for me this year? I mean sure I can plan more time to spend in the word, more time in prayer, say all of these nice things that make me feel better but what is it that I can do to please the Father? Honestly? I find that it is so important as a leader to strive to know more about the Savior that I serve. Taking time to slow down through the midst of the whirlwind that we get caught up in through our professions gets harder and harder sometimes. So even though the world around me is turning faster than normal, as weird as this sounds, I find myself falling deeper in love with the Father because of how He has directed my paths. But it is in these whirlwind moments that builds my character and helps me to know that my Father has control. It helps me strive to keep going and pushes me to greater heights and deeper depths. It is like I thrive on busyness. I guess it is because my mind is still in school mode and maybe, just maybe my mind can slow down after the summer. You will just have to check back and see if my mind has slowed down  but until then I love being busy. Most of all, I love being busy for the Father. There is a danger in this I know: being to busy doesn't mean that everything is profitable. I do understand the dangers of having a business like mind when it comes to the church. I do understand the dangers of having to much down time and not being productive. This is something that I am working on and will continue to work on for some time now. I love my position here at North River Church. I am truly excited about how God is going to use our students this summer and the years to come. I want to stay tuned into God and His will for this student ministry and rely on His direction as He leads. Where else would you want to be? For me, this is it and my passion is growing by the moment! Praise be to God!
