The first line of Switchfoot’s Beautiful Letdown keeps running through my mind. I don’t belong here. That statement sums up my feelings on life these days. Lately I have felt like a turtle on a fence post. No matter how you look at it I couldn’t get here on my own and since I didn’t earn it I don’t feel that I belong.
I don’t belong with such an amazing woman and family.
I don’t belong to be doing what I love with such an awesome group of friends.
I don’t belong to be living in Wilmington, NC.
I don’t belong to have my name included on a list of 11 pastors who get to gather at a Pastor’s Round table with Perry Noble.
How did I get here? I’m willing to bet that anyone in history that was just crazy enough to follow Jesus has found themselves asking that question at some point in their life. For me, this is that point. I am honored to be here. I am humbled to be here. I am bewildered that I am here. However, truth be told, I don’t belong here.
Man do I ecko that. I’ve never felt so blessed to be where I am. Wilmington, beautiful fiance, and serving God with you guys! Thanks for all you do man and allowing God to use you! Keep it up!
God wants your availability and that’s what you have given him. i am proud of you and your beautiful family. keep on keeping on for Him, hon.
I think that if you felt like you belonged then you wouldn’t be following God. All throught the bible people echoed that same thought but they were right where God wanted them …..”for such a time as this”. You’re right where God wants you Jeff, believe it :0)
Wow have the kids grown!
Miss you all.
luv ya like Jesus!
