My Tuesday nights are usually spent in North Richland Hills, TX at the satellite campus of Gateway Church at a ministry called 'Seven,' which is a young adult to adult ministry.
After the service tonight, I sat with a few friends and had two very different conversations but after both, I realized just how blessed I really am.
I did something a little over a year ago that I thought I would never do in my lifetime. I moved from beautiful Southern California to Dallas, TX to start a new life, a life that was going to be spent mostly on my own. Through the first week, I didn't think I was going to be able to do it and after a few calls back home, I was told that I could do it that I could make it and here I am over a year later and still going strong.
It wasn't until about 7 months ago that I started a walk with the Lord, a walk that has seen me go from saying things like "I worship the Lord in my own way," to "He is an amazing and faithful God." He has blessed me with so many good friends and a new life that I can be proud of, but not only that, He's brought me together with the most amazing woman I've ever met, and believe me when I tell you that I've been around a lot of incredible women in my life.
She is after the Lord like noone I've ever known and worshipping with her and going to church with her every weekend is the most amazing experience, it's not "church" in that sense of the word for me anymore. It's now another chance for me to experience God and it's a chance that I jump on every single time.
Anyway, getting back to what I was saying earlier. These two conversations were very different. Once was of frustration and concern for someone else, the other was on a new life that God has built for a couple. They are both good friends of mine and friends that I would do anything for, but it's amazing how many great friends He has brought around me, almost like He's saying "it's ok to move on from the life you once had, because this is the life I have for you now." It's hard to move on, that much I understand, but when the move comes with so many good people and so many good things, it's hard not to say YES to Him, but I've trusted that He knows what's best, so I'll continue to believe that.
In closing, I wanted to say congratulations to two amazing couples and their recent engagments. There aren't two couples, and this I'm convinced, that are more after God and that will keep Him as the center of their relationship, marriage and family from here on out. I'm honored to call three of them friends and one of them I'm just getting to know but I had the honor of meeting her last night for the first time and was really impressed.
So to them, and they know who they are, congratulations and we look forward to seeing what He has for you next.
