In the van

So it is 9:13 and I am sitting in the passenger seat of a red 15 passenger van as we are running a steady 70 mph down I-59, final destination New Orleans.  We just have one event this weekend called Shoutfest, it is part of the To Write Love On Her Arms tour that we are on.  

Earlier in the week I was working in Gainesville, GA, and I got to meet my brother Matthew for dinner, he lives in Atlanta and works as a microbiologist we don't get to catch up as often as I would like but when we do it is always good.  He was really excited because he just got accepted into the masters program.  His dream job is to work for the Center for Disease Control, and I am sure it will happen.

Today I had an amazing conversation with my friend from the UK Ramin, he truly inspires me.  Even though he was bragging that he just got the New Macbook which I am truly jealous in the most Christian way possible.  After speaking with him, I was just thinking how truly blessed I am to be able to share this amazing journey with so many men and women who teach me so much about myself.  So to you all I say thank you.

So I just bought the book Crazy love by Frances Chan, I am really excited to start reading it, and I am hooked on the band Between the Trees, who we are touring with, I have wore their cd out.  I bought a red flannel shirt today, I am pretty excited about wearing it this fall, especially on our trips up north.  

Well I think I am going to watch a movie, it seems to make time go by faster.

Working in the office all week!

I got back in Monday morning from Chicago, and Indianapolis, then I headed straight down to Gainesville, GA to the TEAMeffort offices.  I have been working all week on a project to help raise funds for "The Outpost"  It is the first camp that TEAMeffort has purchased right outside of Helen, GA.  It will be able to hold around 150 people a week by this summer.  I am really enjoying being in the office with the staff and getting to know them better.

Tonight I will be heading back to Chattanooga, to meet up with the band.  Friday the To Write Love On Her Arms tour kicks off in Iowa with a band called Between the Trees and Nevertheless.  Then Saturday we have our second ATF event in St. Louis, and Sunday night is another TWLOHA tour date in Cincinnati.  Will be a lot of traveling this weekend all in the van probably 2,300 miles.

God has been allowing me to have some amazing conversations with people about character and integrity.  It has been so awesome to see God stretch us, and continually show us places in our lives that need improvement.  I love have open and honest conversation that help me and others continue in our faith.  One gentlemen in particular that God has allowed me to get to know is Jonathan, this guy is one of the most creative people I have ever met, and he is truly searching after God.  He truly inspires me.

Thanks again to all of you that read this and for your prayers and encouraging words.
