I left my position at New Hope about 4 months ago and haven't blogged since while getting settled into my new home and community. My wife and I accepted jobs at Southern Adventist University, the institution we met at and the community we loved living in.
I'm still leading worship. In fact, it's still a part of my job. I lead a team of students that travels throughout the Southeast doing programming for youth events and worship gatherings. It's a way for SAU to get it's name out without all of the "sales-pitch" feel of conventional recruiting.
I've also just accepted a volunteer position at Hamilton Community Church - a church I interned at while I was a student here - as the music director. I am leading worship once a month and overseeing the other worship leaders at Hamilton.
It's been incredible to see how God leads. Last summer we felt anxious and had a feeling that God was going to do something in our lives, but had no idea what was in store. He has blessed us and allowed us to transition into jobs that make us each happier and we live in a community with many friends and family. We still don't pretend to understand the scope of ministry that God has for us here in Collegedale, TN, but we are sure that He is using us and we're moving forward.
I look forward to posting more worship insights in this new setting as God continues to teach me what it means to honor Him with my life, my abilities and my heart.
