ScottyT in NYC

well hello everyone. so i figured that since i just emailed a short answer to my decision about new york, i thought you guys deserved the full meal deal. so i had been thinking all along that i would go home and do something, work, make money, do whatever i thought should come next. but when they actually asked the question to us, it really forced me to examine it and pray about it. and that led me up this past week. through praying and seeking God and through the wisdom of others, it was shown to me, and i fully and completely agree with it, that my place in life is ministry, and i will never be completely satisfied unless i'm doing this. nothing else can make me feel complete and whole, than if i'm in full time ministry. so i started thinking about what should be my next step, we're always talking about 'the next right thing' here. you always need to thing about, what is the next right decision to make. so in thinking and praying about it, it was shown me that if i go home, the friends (with the exception of the few of you that are around my area), i have literally nobody that will force me to grow and be challenged. the experiences that i've had and the way that i've given myself to ministry in the past year, none of my friends can relate to that. and in this time, i need, more than ever, a place where i can learn and grow until it's time to make that next right decision. so that place, for me, is here, in new york, until a greater opportunity comes along, and hey, it might never come. but just so y'all know, that's where i'm sittin right now. love it here, hopefully have big arls join me next semester, but i've been blessed out of my socks here. so i hope to see some of you in the time that i'm home, but until then, God bless and i love you all...(i'll be home in a week!)
