Beaty’s Blog

Today I picked up a journal from three years ago. The entry I read was talking about Stephanie before she broke up with me and an internship that I was about to do in South Carolina. I closed by saying that I didn’t think that I would find myself doing conventional ministry. Three years later I am about to marry Stephanie and am working towards becoming an ordained minister in the United Methodist Church. I really didn’t see either of those coming. I really haven’t seen much of anything that has happened in my life over the past three years coming. Its kinda scary and a little exciting. At one time I didn’t think that Stephanie and I would ever even talk again. Plans are good, but I am a little skeptical if they will work out when you are trying to follow God. Maybe its better to have a general direction that you want to go and be able to leave a little or a lot of wiggle room.
