Someone asked me the other day, \u201cif I could define my year of seminary in one word what would that one word be?\u201d<\/p>\n

$\"tumblr_m5im2fZLb41qz5x0k\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

I paused and thought, and then I responded: \u201cReflection.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This year has been a year of introspection and therefore reflection\u2026 Reflection on my past, and my present, and how my past and present will effect my future. Trying to figure out the why behind that what, and making an attempt to seek, see, and find God in all of this that makes up our lives.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m back and I\u2019m blogging for the summer \u2013 I\u2019m taking this summer off to go from reflecting to processing. If you might allow me I\u2019m going to use this platform here to process openly, honestly, and as authentically as I possibly can with the hopes that my past, present, and future will somehow someway impact and better not just yourself but the kingdom at large.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d love for you too join in on this small community, I love getting your emails and comments consisting of questions, thoughts, and ways in which you relate. I\u2019ll be here posting every week, Monday<\/strong>, Wednesday<\/strong>, and Friday<\/strong>. Best way to keep up is just to subscribe here<\/a>, or below.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all I have for today.<\/p>\n
