So Here I Go

Well I just drove a total of 1400 miles from Greensboro, NC, to Greer, SC and then to Austin, TX. I realized that I am totally not called to be a truck driver!!  I bet I listened to every song that could ever be put on the radio and Kid Rock's "All Summer Long" song......uh try 10 times!!!!! I can wait till "Next Summer" for that one! And man am I glad to not be in a truck getting 8 miles a gallon! I was pulling my toaster ...AKA (Honda Element) with a 16' truck which could barely make it up a hill without being passed by.....well.... pretty much anyone including cyclists. But I made it. If you didn't know, about a month ago I resigned as worship pastor of Ridgepointe Church in Inman, SC and felt God leading me into another direction. I had a great experience there and I will miss Pastor Shane and Candy a whole bunch. They are really good friends and will always be. I thank them for all they have done for me! I pray God with bless their efforts for the Glory of His name in the Spartanburg, SC area. So, I am now in Austin, TX as the worship pastor of Free Chapel Austin where my longtime friend from college (Jeremy Self) is the Pastor. I'm very excited about this opportunity to reach Austin for the cause of Christ. It's so amazing here and very different from anything I'm used to. But God is definitely stretching me and can't wait to see what He can do! Also, I am getting MARRIED (oh Yeah) to my lovely Paige in October. Can't wait for that!! So log on to Bed Bath and Beyond, Lowes, Belk, or Target and get us something!!! HA. ......No seriously! .....J/K...Ok, no I'm not. Well Ill write more later. Pray that Gods hand and favor will be upon us and the church here in Austin and also continue to pray for Shane and Ridgepointe Church.
