I'm almost 30.
I have a career that I like, but I'm coming to realize that I don't think I'll ever be satisfied b/c that's just the way I'm built. Not saying that I'm not content or happy with my life because I certainly am. But I've noticed that I tend to need a change every once & a while. But, at the same time, that doesn't mean that I have to make a change. Make sense? I guess I'm just learning to deal with myself or my "flesh"; it likes to be the outcast.
I'm getting ready to start Bible college so that's pretty cool. I work at a church so I guess it was bound to happen eventually. But I really feel like one of these days my wife & I will have a church. God has really placed me in quite the learning environment at my current church. I feel like I get to experience so many things there. For the record: working at a church isn't probably what you'd expect. There can be quite a bit of drama; a different kind of drama that "normal" jobs for sure. But DEFINITELY not any easier to deal with even though it is "the church".
I absolutely love that place though because it is family. People really look out for each other for the most part. It reminds me of home because we're our own small town but with WAY more black people.

I'm still trying to find myself there; I think that's a healthy thing though. Recently I've had a hunger for Church History which certainly tells me what I don't want to be for the most part. Funny, really shouldn't be that way. But people have done some TRULY jacked up stuff "in the name of Jesus" over the past 2000 years.... myself included. I know it can be better though. And throughout history, there were always a choice few who really seemed to have their stuff together. I so desperately would like to be one of the few who represent Christ on this earth the way He intended it to be.
So that's what I felt like saying tonite. I'm sure you'll hear so much about many other wonderful things that happen in my life. My fantastic wife & 2 kids (#3 on the way).
Love,
Stephen
