Beginning of Something Amazing.

Life has been very busy lately (as I am sure most can relate) and I am very thankful for the rest Memorial day weekend provides.

Not to brush past the importance of this holiday, lives have been sacrificed so we can go have barbecue's, drink a beer or two, and enjoy the beginning of summer. It's horrible to hear about the stories of soldiers dying and in a fleeting moment you feel bad for their family and friends (I myself am guilty of this) and forget about it the next day. (heck, the next hour)Such a loss is NEVER forgotten among their relatives. I like to think God has a special view for those who sacrifice everything to protect others.

I think my summer will be spent less enjoying (atleast in the sense of the past summers I have had) and more plugging into my seemingly permanent home. God, through friends in NoVa, has prepared me for something amazing down here....

This weekend will be different from most. I'll be ACTUALLY relaxing as opposed to going somewhere...should be nice I guess. Too bad I always feel the incessant need to do things (thanks DC!)

I am excited to check out a new church this weekend though....lots of church-shopping lately with little results. Maybe too many choices is a bad thing? Rest assured if I was in the mountains and there was one church in 50 miles, I'm sure it would fit my criteria. But, God likes us to have choices, for which I am thankful.


Beginnings excite me.

P.S On another very random note: my favorite TV show to date is Lost. I just watched the series finally and I really enjoy huge psychological twists that make you think in order to keep up....I highly recommend! Half tempted to write my theory but won't....

First New Blog In a Long Time

Now that I have things up and somewhat running I suppose I should write something!

I'll write about my weekend in NoVa...pretty amazing really. It involved lots of time with Jen, a sweet airshow (which frankly puts a Hampton Roads air show to SHAME), a birthday party with my old bible study leader Mike (who chugged the last bit of a vermonster....don't ask.)Tennis with some friends in the afternoon and Frontline afterwards....reminiscent of the life I miss :)

Not to complain though, God has brought me back to the 757 for a reason...what that reason is I'm not sure yet but I continue to seek it out.

On a random sidenote: the name of my blog is after a song by Phil Wickham....Check it out.

In other news I feel this year has gone by very fast so far...I suppose change will give that illusion though. Lots of changes both taken and will take place soon. It's very easy to become disappointed with such change without knowing God has your absolute best intentions in mind. I must let Him take the wheel. He has proven to me so many times in life that what He does in it will turn out for the best in the long run....I expect nothing less this time around.
