Part 2

I really didn't want to wait this long before doing another post but life gets busy but here I am posting yet again.  I want to finish my last post because I hate it when people post things saying they are going to finish it and then do not...

Spirituality

As I said before 2.5 yrs ago I left ministry and my spirituality reflects a little bit of that.  What use to make me strive was working with youth, building relationships, talking, and fellowship and those were the times that were challenging for me as I grew spiritually.  Working in the "secular" world has really helped my situation.  I got stuck with work and getting up early going to bed early and finding ways to do things that don't even effect me spiritually.  It has been a struggle because it is the one void that I fell missing and I constantly have to work on it.  Recently, my spiritual boost has been reading and watching some of how the world views christianity.  It really is amazing how these things are perked my spirituality.  I have been intrigued on how people view us and it is helping me get back into the Bible and better relationships.  Thats really enough about that...

Video Games

I am as fixated on video games as ever.  I am continually impressed with technology and how I have reconnected with old friends while playing video games.  It blows my mind that we can communicate in this manner.  Recently I have gotten into Halo 3: ODST and borderlands.  Both are really solid games and look forward to some other games coming in the near future.

What's Next

I have been thinking a lot about what comes next.  I never thought I would be working at a steel company at this time.  I don't regret it and it actually was a well needed brake from the politics of Church.  More and more I miss working with youth and I miss doing it full time.  I miss the connections I had with other youth pastors and building relationships with youth workers.  I don't know where I am headed but have been praying that God will give me a sign.  I would love to see 2010 bring about some opportunities and 2011 bring about a full time position.  I ask those of you to pray with me as I continue to ponder on whats next for me, my family, and the ministry God is preparing me for.
