It would seem as though I have forgotten about wordpress and in all reality, I have. My life has been completely focused on finishing school and my internship. But, that is now done!! And I am home!! FOR GOOD!! Back in Marietta. “Welcome home,” right? I think so!
Well a lot has happened in the past few months! I graduated from Augusta State…finished my internship…moved home…and I am now in the process of finding a job! I have my resume out to a few churches for student pastor jobs. I keep getting job offers from out of state churches and really traditional churches. I feel as though none of the churches that have contacted me have really been where God wants me. However, there is one I would love to work at…Hopefully God will provide me with that incredible opportunity. So, keep that in your prayers.
I just got home from BigStuf camp in Daytona Beach, Florida! It was freakin’ awesome!! God did some amazing things there. They always say leaders and teachers learn more than the students and I definitely learned more than my students. God revealed Himself to me in incredible ways! It was awesome how God provided me a time and place to just worship Him only a few days after I graduated. It felt like God was just saying to me…”OK, first and foremost, I want you to start out on you journey of life without school worshipping Me as loud and as hard as you can!” And I want that to set the tone for my life. Constantly growing closer to God.
Well, there is always more…so check in for updates. Now that I am home, I will have more time to update…Hopefully! Call me to hang out!! D-SWEEZY IS BACK!
Coming Sermon: an Intro to “The Complexity and Simplicity of Christ”
How did we get here?God created the Heavens and the Earth…and then us?How can that be?Why God’s offer of salvation in the form of a man?Why a crucifixion?Isn’t it amazing to sit back and wonder these things?All the thoughts, all the questions.Yet, God is working to reveal Himself to you.It is so evident that God is here.Just look around, look in a mirror.There is no way a person can walk through life, live 65 years and not wonder at least once, “How did I get here?”Thoughts such as, “this Christ guy I hear so much about, is He real?How is He alive now?”All very complex questions.All with answers, some not so easy.However, the deal God has made with us is rather simple.Christ wants a relationship with you and me.It is as easy as accepting the life He sacrificed for you.You do not need to do anything.There is no extra work, no payment, it has been paid for you.Such a complex situation that took place to give you the opportunity to live in Heaven, with such an simple response: “Yes God I want to know you and I ask for your forgiveness!”

Welcoming in the new year can be a mix of emotions.It can be anxious and uncertain about what lies ahead.It can be exciting to see what God has in store for us.It can be sad because the memories we leave behind and the moments that we will cherish forever.It can be rewarding to finally see a year of hard work pass by.It can be a relief to see a year of pain and suffering end.But one thing is for sure: God will be there.No matter what the year is or how many people try to cover up the undeniable truth of God, He will be there.As the years go by God reveals Himself to more and more people.The world can fight and scratch to disprove God’s existence, but they cannot succeed.God is the reason there is a new year.He is the reason for new life: eternal life.He is the reason for our happiness and the blessing we receive each and every year.Welcoming in the new year is a time for thanking God for the thing’s He has done and what He will do in the next year.
