What I'm Up To

So here's the thing: I haven't been a very good social media friend. I tend to be the kind of person that focuses so much on what I'm doing in the here and now that I neglect to stay in touch with the multitude of friends and family I've gained over the years; there are a lot of you, I will say that, but I know I could be doing so much more to reach out to you guys and gals and hear about your adventures. I want to just take a moment and apologize if I've come off as that person you never hear from or haven't heard from in way too long; it sucks to think that I've lost touch with some pretty great people because of that. That being said, I would at least like to share what's been going on in my life, so I'll try and sum it up as best I can. - I've called Bay Hills Community Church my home for a year now. Coming home from my time in Australia was exciting because I learned from a pretty reliable source that "the best is yet to come". I made the choice to move back mainly for the sake of my family and being here for them, but over the course of a year my family has grown quite a bit. I've always considered church home, and the people I see there and serve with family; the real blessing is I've accumulated such an amazing family over the past 4 years, and it's been getting better and better. I genuinely love the people I get to do life with in this current season of mine, and for however long God sees fit for me to be here I will enjoy every moment of it. - One of those areas is Elevate youth; looking back at the journey of literally jumping into this youth group as the "keyboard guy" to now where I am helping lead worship every Wednesday night, it's been incredible to see how God's had all this set up from years past. I know he sent me halfway around the world for three years so that I could be here, strategically placed to pursue my calling and to play my part in making this youth group move forward. The most rewarding part is getting to be with these amazing students every week; it is legitimately the highlight of my week. Not to mention the band I serve with has become a true family; I'm blessed to be around such passionate people that look out for each other, and the relationships we've built are the kind I believe will last a lifetime. - Unemployed like a pro. Been looking for work almost a year now, but there hasn't been much progress; I know it'll happen on God's time, so despite the lack of success I keep my head high knowing it's on it's way. I recently joined a career services program, in the hopes that I can practically get on the right track. I have no idea what kind of job I want, but as long as I don't have to flip burgers at the local Macca's I will be grateful. - Some friends know about my graphic design ventures on Instagram; I started out doing it for fun, but now it's become like a legit thing I do. I've even got some work opportunities out of it! It's very much a hobby still, but who know maybe I could make it a sort of business one day? That sums up my life now, but I would love to hear what you're up to, so let's Facebook, Skype, email, whatever we can do to make this happen!
