Say Anything Else

Ok, so here would be a double blog since I didn't do it all Wednesday and today is Thursday...

As I've said before, Wednesday is my day to pick someone in my life and talk a little about them. It's just a way to show yall a little of my life and the people that are important in it. Today, I write on my youth leader Daniel. When he first moved down here with his wife Stephanie from Ohio I was skeptical of having a new leader. I was skpetical because I thought, "I got close to Matt (old leader) and he left". A quick backstory to make this all understandable for those who are not involved in my church: Matt Lehmann was the leader previous to Daniel and had been probably my fifth or sixth leader. So, when Matt phased out and Daniel came in a lot of the group, me especially I felt, wondered why A) Matt left and B) if this guy was going to be here and gone in a couple years.

But, against what I thought, Daniel was a lot different. Once I started to sit down with him and talk to him I realized that he was a guy with a huge heart for youth ministries and an inspiration to me. I was estatic that I had found a guy closer to my age that I could talk to and be myself with. Daniel has been with us since 2007, and I am glad he came. Thanks to his help, I have definetly grown and matured over the years that I have known and met with him. We meet every week and talk about what's going on in our lives. One of the biggest things for me is that I can have another guy to challenge me and be there for me. It's also cause of him I decided to pursue being a leader in the youth group, something that has been such a reward. I reallly bet he's going to love I used this picture if he ever reads this...

So, now for the Thursday tradition. Today something....well, someone made me smile. But I won't go into details yet yall. Guess you gotta wait a little bit! But, for the something, I will say the weather. Now, it is a tad chilly outside (I got the windows open upstairs in my room, and it feels great) but it's the weather I love this time of year. It's not supposed to be 80 degree weather in January. I like the chill I get when I roll my windows down driving on the interstate. So, believe it or not, I love the cold weather. I also enjoy shorts in cold weather, which is a lot of fun cause a lot of people say "AREN'T YOU FREEZING?!", to which I simply point at my legs and how they are hairy and keep me warm.

So, lately I've been in a really good mood.Trying to keep a positive state of mind 24/7 is really helping. That, and I've been just giving my day up to God and letting him take charge. It's just a huge reward to just let Him take charge and not worry about anything. I hope yall have a great day and thanks for reading my blogs! It really means a lot
