It finally happened!

So it finally happened. I have moved from College Station to Graham! I do not think it has really sunk in yet, but I think it will sink in when I realize I do not really have many friends to hang out with.

Today was a really good day. I got loaded up and headed home around 10:00a.m. I stopped off in Waco and got to see someone I have really enjoyed getting to spend time with. This was a great part of my day. We had lunch together and this person showed me around town where they grew up. I really enjoyed my time I got to spend with them. It is really sad that we have just met and I am moving so far away.

The rest of my journey home was great. I got to do a ton of thinking and have put together most of my sermon I am doing on the 27th. I was really excited about life most of the second part of my way home. I haven't felt this good about life for a long time.

I cannot believe all that is going on in my life right now. I have just finish college, said goodbye to all my friends I have made, and I am heading to a completely different place. It is going to be a challenge, but I feel I am up for the task.

You know, today I saw God in a lot of places. It is hard to pick just one, but I really feel that this one stands out the most. When I was in Waco today I went to the mall with my friend. On the way into the mall, we were entering about the same time as this little girl. I guess she was about 12 to 14, maybe a little younger. What surprised me was the fact this girl opened the door for my friend and I. Now I know, you are probably thinking, big deal! The fact is that we go through our day to day lives and do not really realize the little things. This girl was not obligated to hold the door open for us. She wanted to be nice and do something simple for someone else. Some times the expected done by the unexpected is what we need to realize the best of our lives.

Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion, and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.'
