Andrea, my wife of six years this June 1st, is finishing her MBA in ecconomic development from, and I was able to spend an evening with her class, which confirmed my need to be around more thinking Christians. People who are engaged in the world, realizing, “hey I can not change the world, but I can make an impact, and I can find a role in this great big world that fits…”
I enjoyed our conversations at “Fridays” and once again found my self confirmed in what I am apart of at One Village Coffee.
This Past weekend my friend Josh Smith and wife Gina Smith came up from Maryland to celebrate his graduation from .
This past weekend we shared meals and stories of our journey.
Friday evening Jared Byas , Josh and I sat on the upper porch off my “man room” to be… and spoke of our dreams to develope community to see trasformation of culture and lives for the betterment of the the world.
The ideas past around that evening were inspiring and once again confirming the place I am right now with where I live, what I do and what I am preparing to do.
The feelings of being behind the curve or underprepared seem to rear their head when i am around my younger counter parts who have taken on responabilities like; Master Degrees, Children and Pastoral position in a church.
After this weekend several things have been concluded in my mind.
It is time to start planing for a coffee shop for community development in partnership with the vision of One Village Coffee.
It is time to start planning for a child.
It is time to start planning for new education in the world of managment, non-profit community development and organizational leadership.
Who knows…
Maybe all these conversations this past week are connected, or maybe it is just Gods way of saying,
“keep trying, keep believing, keep inspiring others along the way. I am in you as you are in me and I will reveal my true nature to others as you become who you are.”
I am excitted about this new season.
