I haven't blogged in a while. It's been a pretty crazy season of life, but hopefully I'll be able to get back in the writing mode soon. Involvement in urban ministry is intense, and writing helps me to reflect on what God is doing.
There is a lot going on in my life. The young men that I've been mentoring through the LAMP program for the past eight years will be graduating from high school in the next week. At that point, our official mentoring matches will close. I'm sad about these formal mentoring matches closing, but I am excited that God has given me the endurance to be able to make it through eight years of mentoring. I'm also excited about how Tyran, Catrell, and Rafael are transitioning into adulthood well.
I also have a lot to be excited about at North Way East End. The summer gives me more opportunities to be able to connect with people. This has been a challenging year at the church, and yet God is in control and many people are being impacted through our participation in God's mission.
I'm also blessed by Julie, Kyra, and Sierra. We're looking forward to an amazing summer together. My daughters are at a fun age, 9 and 11, and this is a great season to be a dad. We're especially looking forward to trips to Dale Hollow Lake and Colonial Williamsburg this summer.
I continue to wake up every day and do my best to put my trust and faith in the Lord. God has been good to me, even if this is a challenging season of ministry. Through all of the ups and downs, God is faithful.
