I'm Back

So for the past month I have been extremely busy. I finished my first semester at Seminary, which I was pretty pleased with overall. Christmas break has been enjoyable, first visiting Taylor's parents in Running Springs for 3 days (where there was tons of snow!) and then off to visit my family in Clovis for 4 days where we spent Christmas day! So we have been traveling a lot, but it has been good to spend so much time with my amazing wife! We have been to the snow twice, sledding both times, which has been so much fun! Now we are back home where we will be having youth group tomorrow and then leave for Tsunami Youth State Conference in San Jose on Monday morning! We will spend the New Year there with about 15 students! So I am really looking forward to it. Over break I have read a book that I am going to recommend to everyone, "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan. It talks about the relentless, overwhelming Love of God, and how our response should be so much more than we see in the church today! I am hoping to look in the Scriptures and emulate what the church is suppose to look like and have God be the FOCUS! I love where God has me right now, although its not always easy or gratifying to me, I submit myself to God and what He wants because I have faith that He knows what is best! Tomorrow in Youth Group we are going to be talking about breaking the mold of a typical Jr. High or High School student, and how to pursue God without compromise! Well I am going to hang out with my wife and then get some sleep Sundays are always a hard working day!
