An Update

First off I just want to thank everyone for all of there prayers and support over the last week or so. God is good and Rachel and I really have a peace about the whole situation. In case you don't know what I am referring to you can CLICK HERE and read my post from last week or just scroll down.

Lots of you have been asking me what's next. The one thing I know for sure is ministry is what God has called me to do and I have surrendered my life to that. Although at this point I'm really not sure where God is leading, I know he is already at work. Early this week I received a call from the chairman of the FCA board that I am apart of and I may have an opportunity to go on staff with FCA here in the Clemson area. One good thing about this is it would give me an opportunity to combine 2 of the things I love the most into one...Clemson Athletics and Ministry. Although there is nothing definite at this point and we are just checking things out, it is at least a possibility and exciting to think about as well. Just pray that if this is God's will that the right doors would be opened and all the details would work out.

Stay tuned for more updates as I will try to post something at least weekly.

A New Chapter

Well this week has been a bit crazy. As you all know the economy of our country is the pits right now and unfortunately it has finally caught up with our church. Because of this I was laid off from Foothills this week. Now, I know some of you were already aware of this prior to reading this blog and I want to squelch any roomers that may be flying around:
*No, I didn't loose my job because of my health. (And by the way I am feeling a lot better.)
*No, It wasn't based on the fact that I hated my job or based on my performance. I loved my job and Foothills Community Church. I would do anything for this church and they know that.
*No, Greg and I don't have any issues. I love Greg and we are and will remain great friends.
When it came right down to it, my position was just no longer needed given the economical factors and I happened to be the one to fill it.

So what does this mean for me and Rachel? Well, not knowing all the details, we really see God's hand in all this and believe he is working. We are open to God's leading and excited about seeing what God has in store as we begin this new chapter. You will still see us around Foothills for a while as we will continue to attend here and serve any way we can.

One thing I would ask of you is to be praying:
*Pray for Foothills. There is no doubt that the best days of this church are ahead.
*Pray for me and Rachel. As I said earlier, I know God is working and can't wait to see what he has next for us!

To God be the glory!
