First Blog

Well I suppose for my first BLOOOOGGGG it would be fitting to tell you a little about myself in case you have no idea who I am!

First and foremost, I am a follower of Christ. I am covered in His blood and forgiven because of His infinite grace. I begin there because aside from the life He has given me, I wouldn't be here right now. He is my all-sufficient Savior and everything I could possibly ever need! He has blessed me with an amazing life...

In case you haven't figured it out yet, the picture to your left is of me and my beautiful fiance Lindsey. We are getting married on May 16 of this year and I cannot wait for that day! She is my best friend and the love of my life! But the greatest thing about her is that I see Jesus all over her life! She is such a blessing! I'm gonna have a wife in 5 months!!!!!!!! :)

Well now we'll kick it old-school and I'll tell you a little about where I'm from. I was born in Laguna Beach, CA where I lived until the age of 4. Then we moved to GA and have lived here since. I have 2 amazing, Godly parents and an incredible little sister. I graduated from North Hall High School in 2001 and went to Valdosta State University (GO BLAZERS!!) and graduated North Georgia College with a degree in History in 06. I'm currently working on seminary and probably will be for a while!

I guess no "about me" blog would be complete without telling you a few things I like and dislike. I'm a HUGE University of Florida fan and have been from birth....GO GATORS! Tim Tebow is my hero! I'm also a big Braves and Falcons fan when it comes to the pros. I like the Hawks when they are good....yes I'm a bandwagon Hawks fan! I love music and am learning how to play guitar...which I won't lie, is taking a while!

Finally, I LOVE hanging out with middle schoolers!! Which is a good thing seeing as how I'm a middle school minister ;) Seriously, you guys inspire me to do BIG things for the Kingdom of God. My prayer is that God may use me to impact your lives in a BIG way! I may not always have the answer and I will mess up but know that I am always here for you.

I don't like peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches...I mean come on, that's just nasty!

That's it for now...

Much love,

Matt
