"now faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see." Heb. 11:1

My whole life I have wondered where I belong and who I am. I constantly question my social status and my personality because I want to know who I am. I am often asked what is wrong because I look sad. I finally figured out that nothing is wrong, quite the opposite actually. God has given me so much that I'm only beginning to scratch the surface of how blessed I really am.

On December 3, 2007, I turned my life over to God. I've never been a depressed kid or even thought that I was unlucky but at that moment, that single time in my life, it all hit me. Everything around me began to spin and it seemed like I had been thrown into some sort of animated movie. The colors of everything around me began to get brighter and everything began to make sense. From that moment on I decided that for the rest of my life, I will spread God's word. I went to dinner with Ryan Guard not too long after and shared my dream of being a pastor. For the rest of the night he swayed between being totally stoked for me and trying to scare me out of the thought. He told me it needed to be the only job I could ever imagine doing.

Since then I've been back and forth more than a ping pong ball during an intense match and yet nothing excites me more than sharing my savior. Lately I've been doing a lot of extra work in my graphic design class and my teacher is really pushing for me to pursue that as a career. I've been really into it and it has crossed my mind numerous times but no matter what, ministry is always in the back of my mind waving to me.

God definately has a plan for me, whether it be ministry or graphic design or water polo, the big man upstairs knows exactly whats going on! I've experienced just about every pastor Cornerstone has to offer and they all have some great things going through their minds and some crazy outlooks and I can't help but wish that it was me up on stage. I can picture myself up there walking around and jumping up and down and getting all into it and probably scaring the people that are listening to me a little bit but isn't that what it's all about? Isn't ministry about having an emotional connection to what you are sharing with the audience or even the 5 people watching and listening?
