Why am I smiling so big you ask? Read on and you will find out!!!
The blessings of being “home” in Michigan:
– Fall is upon us! Beautiful leaves changing and brisk weather. Hooray for sweaters, jeans, and boots!
– Playing outside. Where else can you kayak, swim, run through the woods, canoe, and shoot stuff all in one day?
– DANCE! You better believe I am LOVING taking dance classes this week at my old dance studio. I’m living in tights and a leotard this week baby!
– Driving all alone for hours at a time. Turn up the sweet jams and sing along at the top of your lungs. Yep, I’m that guy.
– Friends, old and new alike. Between coffee dates, phone calls, texts, and e-mails the conversations had with friends have been a HUGE encouragement. Returning to my past home of Mount Pleasant has been SO great and I haven’t even been here for 24 hours yet! I love these people!!!!!
– Sharing my story. I have had many invitations to share in both formal and informal settings. The response to the amazing ways the Lord has revealed himself in my life and the lives of others around the globe is amazing. I am incredibly encouraged by the people who have expressed interest in what God has done, and what he CONTINUES to do in my life. Thanks!
– God’s continued providence. He has put me in specific places at specifics times to challenge, stretch, grow, and encourage me depending on what I need at that time. Doors are opening and closing, but he is always faithful to take me through the ones he wants.
All in all, Michigan is turning out to be quite the adventure in itself. Although I am looking forward to what the Lord has for me as I venture out again, I am enjoying where he has put me right now. The blessings of home are abundant and I thank God for this time I have here.
