Adventures in Afghanistan

My old housemate Josh Bean has been offered a contract job in Astan and he took it.

He is keeping up a blog as well, I would encourage you to check up on him if you know him. It is a great opportunity for him to travel, and get paid very well to do it. I thought about applying for a similar job, but realized I had a lot here in the SPGS. Things like getting involved in ministry, teaching college, a few things like that.

I would love to travel in the future, but now God has me here, so I will wait.

_tag You're It

Still no job.

Since quitting my job and having all this free time, I have spent more and more time at my church, New Life. I had been going to theMILL (college/20-something) group on Friday nights for about a year now, and I was going to Sunday morning service with my mom. We have a SATURDAYNIGHT service too, but I was always working at PFs cause that's a big money night.

[Flash back to first year of college, Christmas break]
I was sitting in a coffee shop here in the SPGS and felt God tell me I would be involved in youth ministry. I consulted with my youth pastor, and he encouraged me to finish college, then pursue it. So I did...

Now that I had some free time, I thought it would be a great time to pursue that. I talked with people in the college group and in the high school group (_tag), and completely felt God directing me to the high schoolers. I met with Jeremiah, the youth leader, and we had a great time fellowshiping. He told me about what was coming up with the _tag and I shared was God had put on my heart. It was very exciting; we were both pumped about me getting involved. The plan now is that I will co-lead a co-ed high school small group coming up in the fall. The groups will meet once a week and coincide with the school year, so in August or September I will be ministering to some young high school kids. I can't wait!
