Milestone Truths
Ok, so I haven’t blogged in while. My good friend Melanie reminded me of this last week. I have been trying to think of a good post to get me “back in the game.” The truth is I really enjoyed blogging. I just felt like I had nothing else to say. Well, I plan to get back into it, so I thought I would kick off by talking about a milestone in my life.
Tomorrow, I turn the big 3-0. That’s right, I’m no longer in my 20s. As I hit this milestone and think that about a third of my life is completed (Rebekah told me I had to give her 80 years of marriage, so I’ll be living until at least 103), I think of what I have done. I graduated UGA (Go Dawgs, who cares about 1 and 3) and Candler School of Theology. I have been ordained as an Elder in the UMC. I was married 6 years ago to the most smoking hot woman in the world. I now have 7 nieces and nephews (8 if I count Gavyn). I started my favorite church in the world, Connection Church in Suwanee, GA. In June, I ran a triathlon, and in 4 weeks I am doing a half-marathon with my smoking hot wife. I have also been blessed to meet some great friends and work with some amazing people (even if they move to McDonough or Auburn).
I don’t say this to brag about anything I have done. The truth is, as I get ready for my birthday I think of what God hasn’t done in my life yet. I recently heard that “before God can do something great with you, He has to do something great in you.” BTW, thanks Perry. I look forward to the next 30 years and seeing what God will do with that. I just pray that I am faithful enough to respond how He wants and to see some amazing things happen in His name.
