Wow...

So… In a couple weeks I’ll be working for the Boston Red Sox... WHAT. From being homeless living on couches to working for the defending World Series Champions in under two years. I have no words for that. All I can say is thank you God for everything.

 

     I’m going to miss Lynchburg. Much more than I want to admit. Six years is a long time to spend in one place. A lot of time, emotion, money have been put into my life here, and it feels weird to just up and leave in the blink of an eye. There is so much I still want to do here! That’s life I guess.  

     I’m not going to lie to you, for a split second I hesitated saying yes to the job offer. I was scared of the unknown, and if you know me well enough, when I am afraid of something I tend to run away from it. This time it was different though. Today I was reminded, while talking to a friend, why I was put on this earth. It is to bring glory to God. Not to feel good or to be content in my surroundings.

     Now before you tune me out because I seem idiotic for insinuating this is a sacrifice let me just say this: I am absolutely, 100% terrified of large crowds of people. Especially when they all will be looking at me at some time or another. It’s not something I enjoy, but for some strange reason God has given me the ability to work well in that environment. That’s why I applied in the first place.

 

     Anyways, the reason I accepted this position was because I knew this was the best way for me to reach as many people as possible with the love of Christ. Now I won’t be proselytizing on Yawkey Way per se, but this is my chance to just love on people regardless to race, creed or orientation. The Red Sox had over 2.3 MILLION visitors last year. Chances are a few of them need Christ’s love, and I’d love to give them a glimpse of that. 

   So please say a prayer for me as I go back home. This transition won’t be easy. In fact, it will be downright stressful at times, but I was given this chance for a reason. With the strength of God lifting me up, I hope that I can maybe, possibly make a small impact in the city of Boston.

You’ve made it all the way to the end of this post! Congratulations! Taking the time to read my blog means a lot to me. I don’t have any delusions of grandeur when it comes to this. I just wanted to get this off my chest. I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into my life.

Now here's some good music to enjoy!
