So my as my first ever blog, I’m not exactly sure what it is that I am supposed to talk about, but I have a rough idea. As an introduction, my name is John Mark Weaver and I live in Woodland Park Colorado. I am blessed with many friends and an amazing area to live in. I have had the privilege to enjoy many adventurous activities throughout my childhood such as riding dirt bikes, snowboarding, and scuba diving. I am a little bit shy and quiet until you get to know me, then I become goofy and energetic. I love music and I love riding my motorcycle with my father. As a senior, I have been asked a lot of questions about what I will be doing over the next year. I’m sure most seniors can relate when the go to conversation topic is, “where are you going to college?” or “what do you want to do after high school?” I never really knew how to answer that until recently. I knew that I didn’t really want to go to school right away, I felt that it would have been a waste of money, as I don’t really know what I want to do as an occupation yet, and I feel like I would not be able to perform well academically. This was a little Irritating for me as I never really knew what to say, and it sucked not having something to say. It is also a little daunting because so many of my friends already have plans and are going places and its awesome, except I have no idea where I’m going or what I’m doing. I am blessed to know such amazing people because recently I my awesome uncle, recommended a book for me to read, called Kingdom Journeys. Reading this book, I realized that I needed to go on a kingdom Journey of my own. Seth Barnes talks about abandoning your simple and comfortable lifestyle to go and futher God’s kingdom and serve others. Give up all control and learn to depend on God. This trip has given me a sense of purpose and has made me excited for something in my future. I am so thankful for all the support that I am receiving from my awesome parents, and my brother and sister. I can’t wait to go on this amazing adventure!!!
