There is a GOD! (no seriously..there is)

I HAVE A JOB!!!!!  How in the world is it that I can write this, one week post-graduation??!!  Ladies and gentlemen, this is true.  Last Saturday, with family in from all over California, Las Vegas, Winter Park and Arizona, I walked across a stage, had my name read off a card and celebrated my recent accomplishment.  Never would I have dreamed that come Monday morning I would receive a phone call from an old contact asking me to accompany him on a site visit the following weekend.  I now write this blog from my room in Dallas at a Lutheran Camp where he and I have spent the day walking around with and talking to everyone involved in this place, trying our bests to understand them and ultimately deliver their vision in a master plan.

The most exciting part about not only getting to do architecture (the thing I have been chasing after for nine years now) is that I also get to do ministry at the same time.  I myself, having become a Christian at a summer camp that I stumbled upon in 7th grade, understand the magic that takes place at various summer camps.  Now I get to continue with my passion of design and understanding people, while using this skill to build the backdrops from which God's love can be spread.  Thank you Father for an amazing road you have taken me down, and I would be lying if I said I didn't know all along you had something awesome such as this up your sleeve.
