A lot of you may not know what’s been
going on in my life recently so I thought I would give you some
highlights.
After getting home from the Race, I was
really longing and praying for community while trying to keep my
hands open. So God did one of those God things and randomly gave me
great community in San Diego, CA. God called me to San Diego and He
has been so good and faithful in the change. He put me in a house
with six other guys that are seeking the Lord and striving to live as
He has asked us to. I’ve also been so blessed that my roommate is
Brandon again and just up the road live Christi and Shiloh. I’m
part of a spirit-led church and it has been great to continue seeing
God’s hand in the miraculous! A few weeks ago one of our small
groups prayed for a woman that could not walk and well now she can!
God has been teaching me so much out
here. First, He has been stretching my faith so much. He told me He
was going to blow me away with how He was going to take care of me
and He has. He gave me a great supportive community and the other day
I was feeling down and He gave me a pet chicken. He has not given me
a job yet, but He is asking do I trust Him? If so, don’t rely on my
own strength, but He will take care of it.
The other thing He has been doing is
transforming my identity. I thought He did that on the race, but it
turns out pulling a country boy out of the country and putting him in
San Diego is a much larger stretch. It’s so easy at home to be who
I am by what I wear, how I talk, and how I act. But is that really
who I am? All those things are just skin deep and why would I be that
when I should be striving to be not country, but rather be just
Christ.
Some of the other highlights of my life
now…
I have the privilege of courting Miss
Christi Johnson
I’m working with the youth at my
church (All People’s Church)
I have a few fish, two of which are
going to explode with babies soon (no, not eggs, some fish give live
birth)
