Spring, Stuttgart, and Stress

Things have been going really well over the last few months as I gear up for some major changes in my life. I recently had the privilege of speaking to the youth in Stuttgart, AR for their House Party Weekend (D-Now). The students were fun to hang out with, the leaders sacrificially poured themselves out, and God seemed to be present through every facet of the event. It was such an amazing experience!

It has been increasingly difficult to focus on here and now lately. It feels like senioritis in high school on steroids! I am working on transitioning into the youth minister position at Audubon Park Baptist Church in the Dallas area while preparing for my future marriage, which is just over 2 months away. Between planning for the summer, helping Holly move into her (soon to be our) apartment, registering for classes at DTS, and the general excitement over graduation, it seems the last thing on my mind is homework!

But God has been faithful in all of this. As stressed as things may get from time to time, deadlines are being met, I'm having fun, and doors are opening. God is good and I am so thankful for the opportunities before me. I appreciate everyone's prayers and support more than you'll ever know.
