God put it all together

First thing, I really need to put up a new picture at the top of my blog, because it's dated. Like, from last winter. And now that I'm here at the church for 8 hours, I have a lot of time to put my thoughts down. So i'll be writing more!

God has done so much for me the past month. He's given me a job right where I feel called--Milwaukee. And doing what I want to do. I'm the new Youth Minister for St. Paul and St. Veronica on the south side. I get to do ministry, and I'm so happy about that. After more than a year of praying and trusting God, He's given me this gift at just the right time. Also, the day I found out I got the job, I found out I could move in with some awesome friends on the east side. I called Luke and said something like "Hey, do you know of anyone who needs a roomate? I need to move to Milwaukee quick." And he was all like "Dude, Kyle's moving out, and we need someone!" This is the perfect place for me to be right now, and God put it together. He is so awesome.

And I'm just a short drive away from the love of my life. I'm so blessed to be near her. I'm going to continue persuing her and save up for a ring! God's brought everything together. He is so faithful. If you're in a hard place right now and you're reading this, please know that you are exactly where God wants you to be. I'd love to talk to you about it, actually. The past year has been very hard, and a season of trial for sure. But Jesus has never left me or forsaken me, as he promised (Joshua 1:5). He's teaching me to be courageous.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9). No matter where you're at, He's with you.
