The New Life

that morning vividly. Curiosity raced through my mind along with anxiousness, fear, and excitement. I did not know what to expect. I looked at the boarding pass that not only contained my access to the plane but it was the key to a new world, a new life, a new me. My life was never going to be the same again. I recall stepping off the jet and arriving in the Lone Star State. Home of sweet tea, country music, and good ol’ Texas barbecue. I was greeted by friendly faces and the welcoming sound of…

the fire died, and I have never felt it again. It seemed as if it was like a Nicholas Sparks movie, but this ending is all too far from being happy. This ending is not the beginning of a new life, and it is not a miracle. This ending, is just that. An ending. It was a cold December night, and the love of my life, Issi, was in the passenger seat singing along to her favorite song. The roads were icy, and I could tell she was scared, but she knew she could trust me. We had just had the most…

When I first started high school, I truly thought that it would be a fresh start. My previous life in school surely wasn’t the easiest thing in the entire world. Junior High had just been one level of Hell after another. The people I was surrounded by weren’t the nicest. I quickly learned that they would take the side of whoever was stronger, so not me. This created many problems in my life, but the biggest one was named Ashley. Anyways, back to my freshman year of high school. I walk in the…

NEW BEGGININGS Growing up in a single parent home as a single child was plain out boring. There were only two things I really wanted in my life. A dad and a younger or order sibling. I wasn’t the only kid with one parent and no siblings. A majority of the kids I knew growing up where in the same situation I was in. The fact that I wasn’t alone mad things more comfortable because we all had things to relate to. I believe this is what motivated me to become better than my poverty stricken…

to interview Pastor John, who is the senior pastor of the New Life church in Tooca, Georgia. I wanted to get a new perspective of curriculum in the way of making disciples. I knew that he was on the cutting edge of the missional community group movement in the church. I believe that I can use this information in my future ministry. I actually believe that the Church in the United States needs to have more fellowship, and I think that New Life, with Pastor John, are making that movement in their…

it all started my freshmen year. I had just entered a new school since my family had to move away from my old town because of work, and I knew that this is my year to make a difference. At my old school I never really had any friends. I was just a target for the entire school to pick on, but this time it is going to be different. I am going to be popular, I’m going to make friends, and this will be the best year ever. This new school was huge there was a clear difference from my…

middle school cafeteria. I remember walking in for the first time and smelling that school food that nobody liked but still ate, and seeing those blue and yellow walls that represented our school spirit. However, when I was in eighth grade they built a new middle school; as a result, over the years the old one starting falling apart from abandonment. Eventually, after all those years passed a church rented out the building and started to renovate it. It was a Sunday morning I walked into the…

brand new experience. My whole life was centered around the city of Elk Grove, my previous city. My friends, family, and everything were there. The day I moved was exciting, a chance for new experiences, but at the same time I felt something new: pain. Now when I say pain, I don’t mean as in your daily paper cut; I mean homesickness. I spent over half of my life in Elk Grove, and I wasn’t ready to leave. But of course when one door closes, another opens. My new life in Grass Valley was a new…
