A Fresh Start with a Change of Pace

Let me begin by saying that God is faithful and He is always good. He has broken me down and put me back together again, and this time I'm even stronger than before.

I have often said that I want to be known as a man like David, who was a man after God's own heart; however, I am ashamed to admit that for the past 10 months I have been anything but that. I have been selfish, immature, hipocritical, and fake. I've made a lot of poor decisions, and I've been running away from everything that I know God has called me to.

God has been working hard on my heart this summer, and through much prayer and dissapointment I've realized how selfish my desire to go to college for a business degree was. God has made it quite clear to me that I am not supposed to go a state school, and I believe that He is calling me to go to seminary. Now, I do still plan on starting my own business/ministry, but this time I want to be sure that it's the Lord's. I will not allow myself to get in the way of His will any longer.

I am back at Ecclesia College for about 3 semesters (I found out today that I'll be a senior after the fall semester). It is very dificult for me to be here, but I know it is where God wants me to be. I've been experiencing a lot of healing in my heart that I thought I had already dealt with, and for the first time since I left Ecclesia I feel connected with God. My times with Him have been incredible every day, and I am learning so many new and exciting things about my Jesus.

Academically, this is a change of pace for me, but I'm really excited about where God is taking me. There are still so many unanswered questions about my future, but I finally feel confident that God will show me what I need to know, when I need to know...because His timing is perfect.

God Bless,
~Matt

Update Coming Soon...

So, I've been too busy to post anything on here, but I plan on updating it very soon. Right now all I can say is that I've had a miserable summer, and I have some huge decisions to make this week.
