What does it mean to become a member of something? To truly belong? To take ownership of one’s surroundings? To submit to those who have gone before and follow their leadership fervently?

Tomorrow night, I will complete the Mars Hill Church Gospel Class, an eight week program which tells exactly where MHC stands as a church, a community, and “a city within a city”. Soon after tomorrow, I will log in and complete the application process. Once everything is complete, I will be allowed to actively lead and participate with the rest of the members in a number of key places of ministry.

I’m still undecided where exactly I will go, but most likely I will serve in some capacity in information technology or the arts. I will say one thing, they have their act together, even when there are attacks coming from every angle. This church deeply loves and serves Jesus. Its the first time I’ve truly felt confident in where I’m at for a church home. I’ll discuss more after the fact and when I have more of an idea of what I’ll be doing.

In other news, at work, I’m doing a whole lot of overtime. On most nights, I’m working till 6:30 and on Saturdays. So that’s roughly 10 hours a day, 6 days a week of bug hunting in video games. That season of savings for the future with an easy job has finally arrived. Thank you, Jesus!
