my story...Henry

We all have a story. We've all had ups, downs, hurts, habits, and hangups. But through Jesus and His amazing, irresistible Grace, we can all experience Victory and Freedom from the guilt and shame that is caused by our sin.
This is Henry's story. What's yours?

Small Group Commercial!!!

Yes!!! Our 08-09 HSM Small Groups have officially launched!!!

It's our desire to see EVERYONE in the HSM connected to a group where you're 'known' and experience a true sense of 'belonging' and spiritual growth as Christ is formed in you. So exciting! I love it!
If you are not yet connected to a sG...you can be! In a jiff!!!

Oh...and if you need further convincing, watch the commercial over and over again. It'll kick in eventually:)

Today was a first...

I just wanted to put out a quick post and say how thankful I am for the friends I serve with in the HSM. Today was the first time I've missed a Sunday morning...which would normally make me a little nervous, like how my mom felt the first time she left me with a babysitter. But I have to say that not ONCE did I begin to sense a seed of panic. We have an amazing High School staff and I felt completely confident knowing who was there hangin with the coolest teenagers ever. Sorry I didn't leave money on the fridge for pizza...

I missed you today Seacoast! Can't wait for next Sunday!

I Can't Sleep

I feel like I have so much to say, yet I can't even think of a place to start. And the fact that it's 4:10am makes me think I shouldn't start.
I just can't sleep. My mind is wide awake and I can't stop thinking about how rad today was. There was nothing super "outside the norm" that happened...It was just a good day.

Here are some of my early bird thoughts...(And PS...I don't see any stinkin worm. It's all a big lie!) Anyways...

Over and over again I'm reminded of how blessed I am.

Blessed to belong to such an incredible spiritual family here at Seacoast.
Blessed to marry my best friend in a month!!!
Blessed to have friends and spiritual mentors that teach me so much and are committed to not letting me fail.
So blessed to have the job I have that allows me to get to know some of the coolest people around.

God has really been so good! It saddens me to think that I've spent the majority of my life complaining about what I don't have...when all along I've always had what I've needed. Today was another day where that truth was clear to me. And it's crazy...the more time I spend being thankful for what God has provided, the less time I have to complain! (I know that sounds complex)

Oh how I wish I would live my life in continuous gratitude! Sure, it might keep me up all night, but pulling the grave yard shift with God is well worth it!
