Ok so to my left you can see what Bulington Christian Church did to welcome, thanks for the picture Dad. I have met nothing but warm welcome's and wonderful people here, and well I love it. I have already gotten to meet most of the kids, and I have even gotten to eat with some of the families for lunch and supper. I want to say thank you very much for that. I got to talk to Creighton over the past semester for about a month almost two, about being the summer youth minister here at Burlington Christian Church. So far nothing event wise has happened but I am already scheduled to teach a Wednesday night class, and teach the Sunday school class for the college/young adult age class and the Children's Church. My schedule is quickly filling up, but I would not have it any other way. I have been blessed so much by God and I would not even think twice that this is exactly where God wants me and that He will use me so much. I also am 100% sure that God will use this church to bless me and bring me so much experience. My first morning here, I had the pleasure to attend the Men's breakfast and let me tell you they know how to cook here. After the breakfast I was invited to play golf, and well I don't really play. They payed for my fee and brought me some clubs to use, and after everyone was ready we set out. I had a blast and although I have said it many times to the congregation here, I want to say thank you once again. It is not even a week into working here and already I am very excited for my ministry here. This reminds me of a hymn that I love so much
How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
I love this hymn because it reminds me of the love that God has for me, and that I see everyday
Till next time, God bless to you all and I can not wait to see this summer unfold. For those wishing to send me mail can send it to:
