I’ve now been home for a whole month! It’s crazy to think about it. It’s been a great month, full of blessing, challenges and reuniting with the most important people in my life.

 I’ve been SOOOO blessed this month so here’s a short recap of my month and ALL glory to Him who provides!

  I don’t have a vehicle since I sold my Jeep to buy a plain ticket to NZ in 2007 yet God has provided me with family and friends who have constantly lent me theirs while out of town. With the money I received for my birthday I was able to buy my first Digital SLR for photographing weddings this summer and have already begun shooting engagement photos. My girlfriend, Larissa and I celebrated our one year anniversary last weekend going out for Indian food and swing dance lessons! I’ve been provided a couple opportunities to make some extra cash while out of a job and just the other day I landed a job at a Portrait Studio. PRAISE GOD!!! And just last night I started the 18-25 year old Small Group that I’ll be leading for my church.

There are still many things in my life at the moment that I’m totally confused about and slightly frustrated by… however it was suggested to me the other day that it was almost too ironic how ambiguous my life is at the moment. Going from Leading the Backpacker’s DTS where most things were within my control and within my ability to rap my brain around… to…… THIS! I’m excited to be where I am in life right now, it’s flippin great and I am truly grateful! That doesn’t mean I stumble and fall into frustration from time to time as God continues to teach me that I HAVE TO fully rely on him to lead me. He hopes that I’ll make decisions to the best of the wisdom he’s provided me with but sometimes I’m not all too good at doing that. That’s just the simple truth.

 Thank you all for your prayers and support through this transition of my life. It has meant SOOO much to me!

You can be praying that I am able to find a second part time job. I could really use one right now. As well as if anyone’s looking for wedding photographers give me a ring. =)

 God Bless and let me know if you ever need prayer
