Living the Dream

Wow I don't even know where to begin but I am overwhelmed by two things currently going on in my life.

First and foremost my new church family is awesome. They have welcomed me so quickly and readily. They have given me more then I ever expected and am so thankful without them I would be in a sad place indeed. They have given me so many things for my Kitchen and its great. In addition they have given me a dinning room table, coffee table, dressers and so so much more! They even decked out my bathroom in purple and green my two favorite colors! I am overwhelmed by the love and support the church has shown me. But don't you worry Sherwood, Perrydale or Morning Star I haven't forgotten you once church family always church family! Just know I am in good hands here at Driscoll.

The second overwhelming thing that I am living a dream. I have dreamed for a long time the day when I get to enter full time ministry. And here I am after a weeks worth of work and just loving it. I have been working with youth for a few years now and am so excited to pour even more into them. Full time ministry is really a dream come true! Thankful for this opportunity. I can't believe I got it so close after graduating college.



A few weeks ago I was challenged to write down the reasons why I was confident that God has called me here. So I thought I would share them with you. First the fact that I am actually here is a great indication that this is where God wants me to be. Second He literally closed all the other doors. I applied to other churches and turned them down for various reasons and they turned me down for various reasons. This really was a great fit. Third not being in full time ministry before this I have people here who are willing to take the time and train me. That is a huge blessing and am so thankful. Lastly, it my sound trivial but I really feel called to the Northwest and here I am still in the Northwest.

Also for those who were wondering my apartment is pretty much set up working on final touches but should be good to go soon!

Love,
Dan

    Dan, it was clear Wednesday night that the youth already adore you. We're in prayer for a wonderful, event-filled summer, watching the Lord move and seeing lives change for Him.

    Dan,
    Jim and I really miss you at Riot, but we are so glad that you are all settled in with your new church and that you are loving it! That is fantastic and a huge answer to prayer! Hooray for being almost all settled in your new place. We will continue to pray for you. Can't wait to see how God is going to use you!! :)
