Well, I usually wait for someone to comment before I post again, but I suppose I’ll go ahead.:)

I started my new job yesterday!!! WHOO HOO! Well, not quite that exciting, but at least it’s better than things were at the radio station. It’s so tempting, getting a glimpse into this world, where if I worked really hard, I could move up the ladder into a really high paying job in like 3 years. That’s what pretty much everyone here wants to do…make more money…..move wherever the job takes them in order to make more money.

I just want a house. I want a family. I want less debt than I have right now. I want to give our kids everything they need, and a little more for fun. I want to preach. I want to pastor. I want the world to see Jesus when they see me. Before you think I’m sounding selfish..”I want, I want, I want”. Know this….these are the desires of a man who has given his heart/desires to God. These are God’s desires for my life, Lord willing. I believe God is calling me to be an amazing father/husband/pastor/preacher/mirror of Him.

So the question is….when/if a Youth Pastor job comes up, would I take it? Hard to know. Obviously, my life goal is full-time ministry. Right now I’m involved in ministry still….pastoring/preaching/teaching. But my heart yearns to have the freedom of a full-time pastor. To give it everything I can. But I also know that this time spent focusing on finances/saving/buying a home is needed/necessary. ahfgeri0wankvdl;saifnedask./jnkovpfcz

K, so I’m getting way ahead of myself, and worrying about a decision that doesn’t exist. There’s so much joy in what I have right now. Experiencing life’s new adventures today. I never would have thought I’d be selling office solutions through a world-reknown company. It’s kind of exciting, like visiting a foreign land for a long period of time. I’m learning to speak their language…learning what they do for fun….learning how they balance life. I’m also trying to add to their world….by adding a little Chadwick flava’ here and there. But most of all, attempting to reflect Christ, and His Love in every situation possible. Which is a bit harder to do here, than when I was paid to do it full-time.

Anyhoo…staying by myself in a hotel in Peoria. Schlotzky’s on one side, Panera on the other. Pool….hot tub…cable….wireless internet….books. I’m really suffering here. Okay, so honestly I really do miss one thing….Mrs. Anderson. Like crazy. Two big huge empty beds in this crazy room. I jump on them both, but it’s just not the same. I miss my wife. Friday night…..I get to take her out…..can’t wait!!!! 🙂

God bless ya’ all…..One love….seek a better understanding of YOU in CHRIST….RIGHT NOW.
