Its Monday. Its the kind of Monday that I don't care to use punctuation or capitols... but I will.
You probably haven't had time to notice that I haven't had time to post on a weekly basis about the riveting adventure Sarah and I have been having in China. Just kidding, we are still in Seattle. Thought you missed something didn't you? But anyways, I'm on the once a month posting schedule now. That said. Not much has changed since my last post. But Ill go over it anyways.
Its fall in Seattle. That means 75% chance of rain, clouds, 50 degree weather and a leaf sticking to the bottom of your foot as you walk down 1st avenue. But it also means apple pie, picking pumpkins and the transition to dark beer. And even more than that it means snuggling under heavy blankets with Sarah and more time indoors which means more time to cook hearty meals full of roots and meat with rich gravy and wine under the cast light of candles with good friends. mmmmmmm......
Man Im hungry now.
Fall has also brought upon the last quarter of my internship. Its been 9 months of intensity and dependency on God that I wouldn't trade for anything except just for Jesus to come back. Ive grown in more ways then I care to attempt to describe but I will tell you that the rest of my life will be forever shaped by this year. My relationship with Jesus, my marriage, my ministry, my friendships and my future all have dramatically changed for my good and God's glory. You can pray for me that I would finish these last three months strong, accepting whatever God has next for me.
Some of you may be wondering 'what does God have next for you?' Well, Im going to be serving Jesus in the greatest capacity I can at Mars Hill for hopefully many years to come. Its too soon to say more than that at this point so please be praying for me in that regard. (I know its kinda vague... know also that while I am being vague its not because I want to be, its just the nature of things at this time.)
Other stuff is going really well. I'm organizing a coat drive, completing the biblical counselor training this winter, completing the deacon training this month, Ive started working more within the community group department and have been really enjoying my role as an intern.
Sarah is doing well, she has her jewelry for sale on etsy which is awesome. She's been given more responsibility at work is enjoying her coworkers.
I think thats about it for now...
love,
Joel
