 Well, it has been almost 4 months since my last post, so I figure an update is in order. Since my last post on here I have moved and started a new job. I am now living in Lumberton teaching at Littlefield Middle School. I current teach general music to grades 4 & 5 and band to grades 6-8. It makes for a busy day, but I am loving it! I have not regretted my decision to leave the school I was teaching at in Goldsboro since the day I turned in my letter of resignation in March. It feels so good to be somewhere where I am able to make a positive influence on the students each and everyday. Certainly teaching has its challenges, but I am now in a position where the pros more that outweigh the cons.

Otherwise I have started attending a church in Lumberton. It is called Hyde Park Baptist Church. You can check out their website at http://www.lovinglumberton.com. I am really excited to be there and thank God that He has seen fit for me to once again join into regular fellowship with believers. I am already playing weekly with the worship team and go to a bible study each Sunday. The current sermon series is called "Secrets." Basically it is dealing with those areas of our life we like to hide from others. I know it has been a very convicting sermon series for me as it has others. The church has established a website where people can anonymously share their secrets at http://www.lumbertonsecrets.com.

I really cannot begin to tell you how good it seems to be back in regular fellowship with believers again. I must honestly say this is probably one of the biggest things I miss about no longer being at DayStar. I never really connected or even really established roots where I was last year. Being away from regular fellowship with believers caused me to become kind of slack, especially with spiritual disciplines. To be even more specific, I really haven't been spending the time in bible study and in quiet time I know that I need. I am slowly learning to get these all important things back into my life again. I feel thirsty and find myself in a state of constant transition it seems. I am thankful I can stand firm on God. He is the Solid Rock that never fails. It is in Him I place my trust.

I pray that each of you are doing well and hope our paths cross at some point in the near future. I apologize for not doing a better job of staying in touch than I do. I will try to improve. Anyways, time to relax at the end of this long week.
