It has been a year since I have left Teen Mania.
So many things have happened since leaving!
- I learned how to live in the real world, kind of. I got a job and started paying for my own things.
- I moved away to college, ORU to be exact. I have always had the dream of going to ORU. I just put it aside for a season.
- And I started redreaming of the things to do in life when you are in your early 20's.
So when I left TM, I wrote this little story about this new season in my life. I never showed anyone, except one person. (so if you are a reader of this blog, you are some of the few).
Enjoy.

it was officially a week on tuesday that i left the harbor.
oh the harbor. its a beautiful place where people come and go.
they load up their ships with all the supplies and food they need for the giant sea.
i sat at the harbor for three years, loading up my ship.
i cried when my fellow friends went out to sea.jealous of their adventures.
and then the day came. i set sail and said goodbye.
i set sail for the sea.
i have heard many stories about the sea.
some people say it is a rough storm out there.
alot have fallen defeat to the storms and lost all food and cargo.
some have saved the drowning and become fishers of men.
some have lost their direction and begun to sail the course of defeat.
i had no idea what it would like for me.
i had dreamt of the sea and the smell of the clean air.
yes freedom, some call it.
some say, finally getting out of the harbor is the most rehabilitating thing someone can feel.
And here I am on my own.
It is something that I did not expect to see.
Yes, it something very different that I have seen.
It Is Jesus Christ leading me...
He is steering my course. And I keep finding ministry along the way.
A four year old boy asking to hear stories from the Bible.
An old friend from high school waiting for me to say the blessing.
A department store worker faithfully working while being unnoticed.
A church moving at the beat of God’s heart.
It is different out here on the sea.
But it is a beautiful thing because I see the horizon.
And He sits on the horizon, on His throne.
Calling all men to come and be fisher’s of men.
