I wanted to update the everyone on what’s going on in my life right now.  This past year has been amazing.  So many wonderful changes in my world!

First, I purchased my first home in June 2010.  It’s a nice little house in the heart of Charlotte, and I couldn’t be happier living in it.  Some of my best friends live in mine and the surrounding neighborhoods here, which makes it even better.  It’s nice having great friends close by.

Second, on September 12, 2010 I married Sheila!  She is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.  That day was so special.  Everything about it was perfect.  I remember thinking at the end of our wedding day, “my life has just been exponentially upgraded!”  She makes me such a better person at everything I do.

Third, on December 26, 2010 Sheila and I found out that we are going to have a baby!  Just a year ago I was a bachelor…and now I’m married with a child on the way!  We are so excited.  One of my dreams is to be a Dad.  I can’t wait.  Sheila is about 15 weeks now.  The baby is due around August 30th!

Fourth, I am officially a full-time worship leader/musician.  In February we stepped out and decided to go for it!  I’m leading at my church in Charlotte, Queen City Church, and traveling to other churches and ministries as well.  It’s been great so far.  I am learning so much every day.  You contact me here on my website if you’re interested in bringing me and the band in!

So…it’s been a big year…lot’s of changes.  I like that.  A lot of times I find myself waiting around for something to happen.  I get frozen when trying to make decisions.  Sometimes I’m so afraid of moving in the wrong direction that I stop moving all together.  If we’re not moving we can’t be directed anywhere.  I think that change is the Lord’s way of forcing me to move.  He never changes, of course, but life does.  And when it does it forces movement…and once I start moving He starts leading and pulling me in the right direction.  I think for the first time in my life I feel like I’m really moving…and I can feel Him directing me.
