Best Advice.

This past week was probably one of the craziest weeks of my life. After about three months of hardcore job searching, I was able to land two interviews and get two job offers. At first the problem was finding a job, then I found myself having to choose between two very appealing job offers. This brought be back to some very good advice I received from my father a few years ago.

[Begin Dream Sequence]
It was the fall of 2005 and I wanted to ask a certain woman to marry me. I remember talking with my dad about it and it was almost as if I was asking his permission. I'll never forget the advice he gave me. It's so simple and practical yet so profound. He basically told me that I was the only one who could make my life's decisions because I was the only one who had to deal with the consequences, good or bad.
[End Dream Sequence]

Believe it or not that was some of the most freeing advice that I've ever gotten from anyone. As I was wrestling this week with choosing a job and leaving another behind, I was reminded of that moment. It was a tough choice because I put a final stamp on one chapter of my life and am taking a huge step into another. I said farewell to The Oconee Enterprise, which was difficult, and I am thankful and blessed for the experience gained over the past two and a half years. But I feel that this is my next move, I have a peace about it. Continue to pray for Megan and I as we both adjust to new job roles, and that God would lead us to a church where He would have us get involved and serve in.

*In case you're wondering, I accepted a job as a Graphic Designer with a company in Norcross, GA. That's more or less the Atlanta area for those who are not familiar with the area. I'm excited and ready to jump into this new role.

River Hills Conclusion

As some of you may know, I have resigned as Worship Leader of River Hills Church. I am thankful for the opportunities and experiences that God has given me through this church plant.

It has been a blessing and an honor to see this church grow from a family of four to roughly 300+ people. It really is a movement of God. The relationships I've developed over the past several years will last me the rest of my life. I could never fully express my appreciation of the love and support I have recieved from the River Hills Church family.

Please pray for Megan and I as we seek God's direction for our lives during this time.

New Music Wednesday - See Me Through

See Me Through
I've really been looking forward to sharing this song with everyone. I wrote the chorus first and for several months couldn't finish the song. I guess it just had to marinate a little longer. It's kind of like checking the oven while you're waiting on a pizza to cook, or maybe some cookies. After the right amount of time the light goes off and everything makes sense.

Anyways, I digress. Let me know if you like it. I've been in the process of capturing some other ideas I have and even re-recording some music that I wrote in college. Enjoy this New Music Wednesday!
