Starting Off

Well, this is my first blog. For those of you who dont know me, I am John. I am 18 years old and live in Visalia, Ca. The reason for the blog title is simple; but, theres a story...
I spent the last 5 months living and working up at a camp called Calvin Crest in the Yosemite mountains. It has been a place for me and several others to serve God and to grow in and through Him. I made the decision (for the most part last minute) to leave camp after the semesters end and venture back home where i would continue my journey with Jesus Christ. Since i have been home several things have happened. I got a small job (which was actually onlt for a week!!), a buisness my friend zach and i started 2 years ago got going again very quickly, and i was hired on as a intern at my church. I will spend a period of volunteered time each week at my church focusing half of my responsibilities on Jr. High ministry, and the other half on college minitsry. This position is very exciting for me because i enjoy working with the youth around me and now am able to encourage my peers to join me in my walk. I pray that this opportunity/ step in my faith will be fruitful and meaningful for myself and those who have been so supportive.
I offer this blog to be an opportunity for everyone to comment and to give advise and encourage myself and those to whom will be associated with the site. Thank You and God Bless!!
