The Trip Up North

Mason City

I was fortunate this week to have the chance to visit a few of my old friends and former roommates in Mason City, Iowa. We had a fun time, though it was a short trip. Originally there was talk of going further north and having a little ski trip. However, I don't think any of us were that energetic - it was just kinda nice to chill with the guys and not worry about work or any of the other cares of life. For a few days I was just able to forget the concerns of life. I can't blog without mentioning the actual 'trip' north. To say the least it was quite dramatic and emotional. At one point I was run off the road by a semi truck - an interesting experience! The trip has brought about a number of feelings in me...the hardest part has been not beating myself up the last few days mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. To say the least I am pretty much utterly confused - I don't know if I have spent the last few years disobeying God...or hearing him wrong - or if there is something wrong inside of me....I don't know. I know God will provide me with the answers with enough time, I just have to trust Him - that's extremely hard though. The story from Isaiah 7 is coming to mind as far as my fear and lack of Trust in God at the moment. I am not sure where to go from here - I know you have no clue what I'm talking about...but trust me, you'd rather not. But if you're out there listening to me and you know - pray for me trust and strength to stay absent and just believe God will make happen what He is telling me is supposed to happen in the future. What in the World? Anyway, Mike - Dust...great to see you guys - in all the drama that took place, seeing you all and just chilling kinda makes it all seem small compared to God's Kingdom and the blessings of friendship he has provided in my life. Look forward to seeing you all again,

Happy New Years Fellas - and hopefully Boston will see more of me this Spring - and Fall? Hopefully

Happy holidays everyone...like I told you before we drove separate ways..."I'm so not sure about this" but I still, and will always, love you!
