Enjoy the journey.

Melissa (the office administrator at Southside) and I have deemed that the new motto of Southside Christian Church. We went to Disney World on September 11, 2006 as a staff. The group included Arron Chambers, Eli Reyes, Susie Richetti, Melissa Clark, Josh Van Tassel, and myself. Arron kept giving Melissa a hard time because she was in a hurry to get from place to place so we could fit in all the parks in one day. He kept saying, "Enjoy the journey!"



In between all of the riding and yelling 'Carlos!' I started thinking about what that meant. By the way there was no Carlos with us, but we did get a few waves from 'Carlos.' Arron is about to set off on a new journey, one that will take him to Christ's Church Manderin in Jacksonville. The rest of us are starting a new journey here as well. Southside has been given the chance for a fresh start, hopefully with some new property! Ironically we found out about the property the day Arron was up signing his contract with Christ's Church. We have jokingly started calling him Moses, because he lead us to the promise land, but he will never enter it with us. Now all we have to do is keep praying that God will send us a Joshua to take us in the rest of the way and help us grow like crazy.

The journey has been a long and crazy one, and no one's journey is exactly the same. But I think the motto 'Enjoy the journey' has alot of meaning. I say that because alot of times it is not where you started or where you end, but the jouney from start to finish that makes you who you are. 'Remember who you are.'

Enjoy the Journey

I was in class the other day and Mrs. Reyes said something that really made me think....

"Wasting time is wasting life, because we aren't guaranteed the next breath."

I thought to myself, man you could go on about that forever. It comes down to this: 'If it is important...do it! If it isn't important...don't do it!' How many time do we sit around doing things that don't mean anything! If I spent more time talking to people and building relationships instead of watching some meaningless show on television, life would have much more meaning. So stop wasting time! Because you might be wasting your life.
