Catalyst-mic

Catalyst was incredible! I got to connect with tons of people I hadn't seen in a while, which was cool, but the best part was that Lisa got to go with me. I'm glad that she has gotten to share lots of cool experiences with me this year. It allows our vision and dreams to align. She understands better where I'm coming from, and were able to dream and plan and pray together more in sync.

The worship rocked, and the preaching was great. I was totally impressed with Dave Ramsey's teaching on Leadership.

The gurus were great this year. They're doing Catalyst in Orange County next year. I'm trying to figure out how to get to that one!

Oh yeah...I'm a Liberty Grad

I finally finished college this week. I know that lots of you have already accomplished this, but I finally did it, while working full time, part time and while neglecting my family. Did you do it that way? That's what I thought...I actually did 16 classes in 2.5 semesters (6 of those were the cleps I did this summer-while taking 4 classes, and making Dean's list in those. Oh yeah, I'm bragging...

Seriously, I'm finally done. I start grad work in January, but for now, I'm enjoying the breather!

It's really cool that we're leaving tomorrow for Liberty. Pastor is preaching at Thomas Road on Sunday night and at Liberty Convo on Monday morning. It's been 8 years since I've been on campus at Liberty, so I'm glad to be going back to my "Alma Mater". What a feeling of relief. It's also my first trip on a private jet. Hope this one is better than Travis Barkers...

This week would have been my 5 year anniversary at Acworth. I do strangely miss it there, but I'm glad where God brought me now. I can't believe how far I've grown in just 10 months. It's amazing what God has done in not just my life, but in my family life (and families life).

We're praying for the future. The mentorship is over in basically 10 weeks or so. I need to find a job!
