“Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the Hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God!” Jim Elliot

And that is what I’m trying to do. Here I am in Kalamazoo hanging out with my friend Dan so the morning commute to Grand Rapids won’t sting quite as much as the drive from Troy. Tomorrow is my second of five Saturday seminars in the Ministry Leadership program through Cornerstone University. Last spring, I left architecture school because it was not God’s Will. Don’t get me wrong; I loved my classes, classmates, professors, and projects. But as the designs went by and different projects were chosen for the gallery, the ‘climb’ was all wrong. I was not following the Will of God.

I’m now ‘living life to the hilt’ because I decided to obey.

I am thrilled to be the Woodside Student Ministry Intern since May 28th! I am also the Administrator for all technical aspects of rooms 231 and 232.

A bit about myself: I am an art and architecture person, a reader, a runner, uncle of two, brother of two sisters, son of faithful parents, music person, outdoor lover, water sports person, coffee drinker, and traveler… especially Chicago, where a special someone resides.

I am excited to share random thoughts, interesting articles, and pose compelling questions on a weekly basis.
