I Fail at Blogging

Just as the title suggests, I with the help of my oldest brother, have realized that I am horrible when it comes to contributing or even looking at this blog. Well folks, that's about to change.

If you read my past posts you may see a pattern. They continue to get longer, with what I hope is a super epic point at the end tying everything together. Every time I would see my brother he would say "Why haven't you posted in a while?" I really had no good response, it was mostly "I don't have time." But if I really take a look my response was "I don't feel like I have anything epic enough to put up for the world, or in reality, less then 10 people to see."

I started a new job a few months ago. It is one of those jobs that a lot of people try, and not many people actually succeed. But for those that make it, the industry is very rewarding. Well anyway I am currently a trainee, and for the 10 to 12 hours a day I am at work I make hundreds of phone calls hoping for someone to hear me out. The first day was the most humbling experience I ever had. People cursing me out, telling me to screw off and hanging up- the rejection was a strange feeling. But now when I have someone on the phone I am confident that they will hear me out because I have learned a lot. This is what all of us hope for, that as we do something more, we continue to get better at it and the results are rewarding.

So here I am, instead of trying to write about something that is epic, I will simply write.

Today I met up with the youth group I lead. The guys are going to camp, and one of them isn't Christian but is going to a Christian camp. When I asked the general question of "what is prayer" he gave a great response and got me excited. I gave the guys an assignment to keep track of any questions they may have during the week. While today wasn't some epic event, it showed me what God really asks us to do- watch and expect to him to show up everyday. In this day to day expectation God will continue to build on what is being done. I'm excited to see how God moves the youth group and moves me in this blog to simply show up and expect great things!

See you soon.
