I Have A Confession

I know that I am a chosen, ordained (set apart), called, and most of all, adopted son of God. But I have a confession to make... I don't always feel that way!

I have known since I was 16 years old that God has called me to be a pastor, but sometimes I don't understand why. Do any of us actually know why?

Lately, He has really been stirring in my heart something more. Something bigger than what I could ever accomplish and l scared. Honestly, scared that I will fail, embarrass myself, my family and my friends. And my initial reaction is to run away. However, this burning passion is driving me in a lot of directions. The adventure continues.

In Just a Few Days

Today it hit me!  My beautiful wife and I will be leaving in about a week and a half to go see the little one we will soon call our daughter!  

Cyndi and I have the opportunity to go to Jamaica for just a few days on the 23rd of this month, to spend a few days with our friends John and Jamie, as well as our friends who are pastors on the island, Dwight and Shanda!  I cannot wait.  But what we are most excited for is spending some precious time with Monicea Ashanti soon to be Brown. 

This little girl literally lights up my day just thinking about her!  And Cyndi and I get to really push forward on the adoption.   Thank you Jesus for the calling you have placed on our life!
