| To say the world lost a giant today would be an understatement. Adam Ainsworth passed away this morning. With his passing, many of us lose a friend and brother, and heaven gains a true servant and worshiper.
I don't often talk about my time in Shawreth anymore now that it's in the past, but if there ever was anyone who embodied everything that it really meant to be a Shawreth, it was Adam. I am proud to have called him brother and friend, and, even though I haven't seen him in over a year, the world seems a little emptier tonight without him...Adam, it seems we hardly knew you. You will be sorely missed...
Please join me in prayer for his family and in rejoicing that his struggle and pain are ended.

| So, it has been a very long time since I last entered this world except to read the happenings in the few of my friends who still write here. I did in fact begin my job and have now been happily employed at Cellular South, Inc. for four months today. Much has changed, much has changed. Friends made and lost. Friends re-made and re-lost. New apartment in a new city (though still in the metro area), so I suppose by many people's standards I've left the bubble for good. There are things that I miss, but much more that I don't. I miss the contact that I had with many people with whom I have since lost touch, but that's going to happen. I miss having those 10-12 or 10 -1 breaks that I usually tried to build into my schedule, but mostly I miss people. I don't miss the drama or the stress (though my stress levels now are through the roof compared to college) or the back-biting or the God card or knowing what was going on in everyone's life whether I wanted to know or not. But mostly I miss the people that made is all special...
So, in other news, I'm going to Houston, TX for a week beginning Oct. 21 for some "school", and then coming back and training people that outrank me based on what I learn, so that's pretty cool. Now, I just have to figure out how to survive in a city with over 2 million people in it by myself...I've never traveled by myself before, so that will be an experience to say the least.
Trying desperately to find a church in the Ridgeland/Madison area that thinks the way I think and believes what I believe that actually has some 20-30 year old people in it.
Trying to figure out what's next. That's a question I keep asking myself over and over again. What's next? Guess I just have to wait and see.

| Wow, much has happened since my last post. I graduated from college, got an apartment, and started life, except for the job. That starts next week. It's been a tough year, but a good one. Normally at the end of the year, I post a list of lessons learned, but not this year. There are too many for that this year. Even at this moment, our Father continues to teach me lessons and reveal himself to me in new and different ways, even in what has been the longest drought of my Christian life. But, He is faithful. I told someone today that we are not slaves of an accidental god, but bondservants of a God who is intentional in all he does. Since I said that, I've been chewing on it a lot myself. I think maybe I need to learn that for myself.

| Last spring break, come and gone. I did absolutely nothing productive or fun. Honestly, I spent most of the week alone, in prayer, under the teachings of our Father. It was good times. He taught me a lot.
I have a job post-graduation now. I have been hired by Cellular South as a Software Developer, beginning May 29th. I'm pretty pumped. Now I just need a place to live and I'll be all set. That's coming together, too, hopefully. So that's the outside. Inside there's still a lot of uncertainty about many things in my life right now. I ask for prayer from those of you who still read this and who do that sort of thing. There's a lot of things about which I just don't know what to do. But our Father has a plan. All I have to do is surrender to it and take hold of it.
Until next time,
<>< | | |
