A couple of things have changed since we last spoke.
It was getting pretty hard being here by myself ALL the time. It really just felt like I was just living here in the mountains in a HUGE house all by myself. Town’s not too far away, but far enough to make it inconvenient driving in often. There are great people in that town that I really enjoy... but not always fun to drive 15 miles just for coffee. Definitely have to pick and choose when to go.
Having our first group changed all of that. It really put a new energy in me to see kids having fun and enjoying this God given facility. What’s more exciting is that I might see how Christ has changed these young men and women years from now.
Also, having Larry Brassea (a Young Life guy from San Fran) is ALWAYS a pleasure to have. To see this man’s heart break for these kids and see how much he loves them is inspiring. He’s a pretty damn funny man too. He has a lot of respect from me.
My trip back home (see other post) really made me re-think a lot about what I want in a career/life. Not to belittle the great things going on in Truckee/Soda Springs... but PHX is definitely where my heart’s at. AND it’s also where my comfort is at... I am very much out of my comfort zone here... and LOVING it.
It’s crazy to think you know yourself and then your ignorance shown to you in such a subtle way. I’m growing/learning about myself everyday here... would have never had the opportunity to be stretched, challenged, learn if I was still home.
It has lead me to believe that anything can happen... and if the good Man upstairs says go... best believe I’m going. I could possibly never move back to AZ. But for me and my faith... it’s put up or shut up. How can I love the Lord and live like a coward? Not gonna happen. Life’s more exciting this way anyways... I was really about to “get a job” and buy a house when I moved back! Why?!
I’m on a journey now... I’ve been set in motion... don’t know when I’ll ever “settle down” now... wow.
Had a pretty hard time picking a track for this post (I’ve been listening to some really weird stuff lately... I’ll spare you from that). Here’s some less weird stuff: Sufjan Stevens- Futile Devices
