that's the overwhelming feeling that I have been having lately. I look around me and realize that I am so overwhelmingly blessed by the goodness of Christ in my life.
4 months and 2 days ago I was blessed by marrying my best friend. She, next to Christ, is the absolute best thing that ever happened to me. She challenges me to be a better person, she challenges me to know and follow my savior in a deeper way, and she loves me even when I act like a jerk. She has changed my life radically in the last 4 months.
about 3 months ago I was blessed to get a new job in Ruston working for the Family Plus Counseling Center of the Methodist Children's Home. Although it was a tough start, I truly am beginning to see why God has brought me here, everyday I see the hurts and the pains of my hometown, I see those who are in the greatest need and God has blessed me with the skills and schooling to try and help them. My ministry is one that I try to take very seriously and I feel that in this new job God has expanded the effect that I have on my community.
about a week ago Kelsey and I were blessed to be able to move into our first home together. It is amazing, I never really thought about how much fun it would be to really begin to settle into a place that she and I will call "home". It is neat to be able to call something "ours" but it is again one of the blessing that God has given to us.
So, all in all it seems like in the last 5 months I've been given a whole new life...or a whole new set of circumstances. And from here the only thing I can see is the blessings of Christ in my life. I certainly don't deserve them, but I am truly grateful for them.
