I wanted to take time before we leave for Mission Miami Tomorrow to breath and write a blog about the past week or so because it is a picture of how God uses us to be a small part of His Grand Narrative. When at MGCCC (Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College), I was desperate for new ideas, so I began reading a workbook entitled “10 Commandments of College Ministry” by Arliss Dickerson. That day, Arliss called and asked me to interview for an assistant position at ASU; little did I know that March 17, 2011, I would be selected to replace him after his retirement at ASU.
Before I knew Thursday's ASU BCM Minister's hiring meeting was happening the same day as the BCM Spring Fling, I made previous plans to fly to Atlanta to preach at a Disciple Now. What was I thinking? I was answering phone calls, emails, Facebooks, Twitters, and texts while running through the Memphis airport. Looking back, it didn’t matter what I was thinking because God knew what He was doing. God moved in a revivalistic way last night in my heart and the hearts of approximately 10 church’s students ministries, collegians, and young adults in Cherokee County, Ga at an associational D-Now. This morning, my new friend, Shawn Finch at FBC Canton, wrote me and said that he is baptizing 15 youth next week!!! I pray that I get more messages from more youth pastors from the Disciple Now this weekend in Ga. God is alive and it feels good to be a small part of His Grand Narrative!
