Relative 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.
