About Me

You want to know about me? Okay. I'm not a legend. I'm not perfect. I love Jesus more than anything in the world. My God is more important to me than air, food, or water. I couldn't live without Him anymore than I could live without those things. My number one goal in life is to serve God with every single breath. Like I said, I'm not perfect. But I'll certainly do my best. I have alot of dreams, alot of goals. I want to travel the world. And I want to preach the gospel wherever I go. I want to snowboard Alaska, surf Hawaii, backpack Europe, climb the Rockies, and jump out of a plane. Basically, I want to live life to the very fullest. I want to someday marry the perfect girl... the one that God has for me. I'm NOT looking for the perfect girl. I know that someday I'll find the perfect girl, but right now, I'm just focused on being the man that God wants me to be. If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be this: Don't look for the one... be the one. I love to lead worship. I just love to worship God. With every fiber of my being, I love to pour myself out before the Lord and tell Him just how amazing he is. I'm called to be a pastor. I know that because God told me so. I'm passionate about all areas of my relationship with God... worship, Bible study, prayer, trust, hearing the voice of God. There is nothing better. I'm passionate about life. I love to live, to think, to do. I hate religion (the act of playing church, following a set of rules). I'm all about relationships. I hate denominational lines. I think that denominations are probably the worst thing to happen to the Church since it's conception. And that's because I believe that if the Church stopped fighting over doctrine and petty differences and just believed the Bible - we'd be the greatest army the world has ever seen. I love playing football, paintball, volleyball, softball, basketball, video games, bass guitar... did I mention I'm also passionate about music. I LOVE music. I love to sing, I love to play, I love to listen... music is as much a part of me as, well, my foot. For lack of a better example. I'm also a big fan of coffee, foreign foods, chess, books, movies, mountain biking, cooking, making new friends, seeing old friends, traveling, going to concerts, and being completely random in the midst of all of this. That's about all I can think of right now to say. But if you want to know anything else... just send me a message!

A New Revelation

So today I was talking to my mentor, and I came to a realization. We weren't even on this topic, but something he said started a chain reaction in my brain that eventually led to this realization:I......
