Blink & You Might Miss It...

I blinked and found myself on the brink of a new era in life. I've met the woman of my dreams, the woman that I will spend the rest of my life with...my beautiful Bonnie (and no she doesn't lie over the ocean or the sea, she is actually right here with me). I'm in a new industry. My work environment has changed drastically. No longer are the days of wearing shorts and flip flops in the office. Or hanging out in student's cafeterias and planning spring break mission trips. While a huge part of my life, which has impacted me and shaped me into the person I am today. I was ushered into a new phase of life. God was preparing me for something bigger than what I had ever imagined.

I am now working in the corporate world, in risk management. I wear slacks, dress shirts and dress shoes to work. I take business trips across the nation to meet with clients and help them understand the importance of managing assets. I work in a big downtown office...with lots of women, and they all know way more than me! I'm no longer that frontman. I have moved to the bottom of the totem pole and I'm making my move back to the top.

I deal with clients all over the nation on a daily basis and I have to implement what I have taught to students and adults for nearly 10 years. I actually have to put into play the whole "practice what you teach" method.

It's difficult at times, but students and adult leaders from Arkansas, Missouri, Florida and Texas have taught me a great deal in listening and managing this new corporate world. I commend each and every person whoe life I have touched becuase you may not know it, but you have touched my life even more! Thank you.

I'm excited about the journey God has me on. He has carried me through tough times and relationships to ge me to this point, so I could say "WOW! God you are amazing!"

If you're wondering "what next or why God" I encourage you to hold on to His truths because Christ is going to blow your mind away! Keep seeking God and showing His love to others. Don't blink...you just might miss it.

I'm still writing so stay tuned. You who read this keep me in the writing business!

OneLove,
