as i sit in my church's office in nyc on sept 11, 2005...

i'm able to reflect on how God has worked in my life over the past four year. four years ago i was fighting the calling into vocational ministry. i was getting ready for a trip out to texas to check out baylor and tcu. and looking forward to playing soccer at one of the two while pursuing a degree in physical therapy/sports medicine. what's that song say...if you wanna hear God laugh, tell Him your plans! that year, my soccer plans were ended with a couple of broken ankles that i refused to let heal correctly before i started playing again. in turn, causing me to not be able to play competitively ever again. also came the realization that i hate studying the human body and that i was more interested in the human mind and soul. and the birth of my first niece made me want to stay close so i could see her grow up.

through many other life changes over the next three years which i don't care to spell out in detail, i now find myself in nyc. i had it all figured out 4 years ago and now i don't have a clue where i will be in year from now. but i do know that i will be exactly where God wants me to be...wherever that is.
