Like sands through the hour glass...

Sure, I stole this from a terrible, terrible daytime soap opera, but isn't the world-famous line somewhat true? Through the past I'm gonna say 3 weeks, things in my life have gone through much transition.

Some of the very things that God has used to grow me into the 21 year-old guy I am, He is somwhat placing distance. This doesn't mean that I'm separating myself from these things; however, let's face it--we're kind of going our separate ways. For example:

These guys are pretty much the most evident blessing I have been given by Almighty God since I've been at ICC. I honestly do not know how I would have made it through these two years without em. Especially Austin. This dude is freakin great, and I don't know how im gonna do my ventin.. ha If we were girls, you could says we're all 4 BFF's..

What a joy it has been to be able to serve our entire college as Student Body President for these past 2 years. ICC is where I have truly learned to give up my all to hear God's voice. Thanks be to Him for this time! Oh yeah, Andrea is pretty great too! ha

Ashley, how awesome it has been to get to know you.. You are one of my best friends, and I also praise the Father for placing you in my life to share both the good times and the bad.
Jeremy has been my barrier that kept me from crossing the line a lot of times.. It is through him I am still learning that no matter the amount of popularity of doing the cool thing, the reward is that much greater for doing the RIGHT thing! Thanks, bro!

I could go on and on praising my Savior for injecting these symbols of Christ in my everyday routine, but I'd max out this page to the billionth degree. Thanks to all of you for being even the smallest part of my life at Itawamba these past 3 years. I simply get a chill down my spine when I try to think of what God is going to do in the next 3. Until next time, Go Indians and Praise Almighty God! Proverbs 3:5-6

The only constant thing in life is change..

...and it's happening again! Since the last post, a lot has occured. A couple of weeks ago, I received a call from Employment Services at NMMC-Tupelo offering me an interview for a Paramedic position. Get this--I had not even filled out an application, and they are calling me asking me to come interview=Wow.. I gladly scheduled the interview for later in the week. Later this Tuesday, I was jogging around campus. When I finished my run, I went back into my dorm to find a voicemail from a staffmember at Lifeway, offering me a position at MFUGE in South Carolina for the summer. I called him back, and after a brief phone tag, he asked me to be a Children's Ministry track and Bible study leader at their camp in SC all summer. Now the true test begins: Do I choose to do what I believe God spoke to me last summer about doing, and accept the position at MFUGE....Or do I need to take on this job, that rarely comes around.

After 2 days of prayer and deep consideration, I opted to decline with MFUGE and continue with my interview on Thursday at the hospital. As I told my best friend Austin, the interview was pretty much a breeze. I'm not bragging when I say that I simply had a peace about everything when I steppped in the entrance to the East Tower. Today is Saturday morning, and yesterday I received a call from the Ambulance Service stating I had made it to the next round of interviews. AHH! Good news, so I have another interview Monday at 1:00 PM CST (All past, current, and future prayers are appreciated).

This has been a bold step of faith declining a job I was promised to accept an interview for a job I don't even know if I'll get... Still, God is good.

My theme verse for my college career and even more today is 2 Chronicles 7:14.

"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My

face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their

sin and heal their land."

Thanks and praise be to Almighty God for not failing me in this time of waiting. Until next time... Enjoy your day knowing that our Salvation rests in God alone.

Spring is Here

It has been too long since that first post.. I'm gonna get better at this, eventually. Well let's see. What's going on in the McCoy world........
This weekend the BSU from ICC went to Leadership Training Conference in Jackson, followed by me meeting up with my youth group and spending the rest of the weekend with them in Clinton. Pretty amazing weekend! God really showed up and spoke to me about several things.
Now, this week that is supposed to be easy and all because we're out of class Friday has turned in to a NIGHTMARE! Teachers are throwing tests left and right, school folks are hounding my cell phone, blah blah blah.. This is supposed to be a great week! ha However, yesterday, I got a phone call from the NMMC in Tupelo Employment Services, offering me an interview for a Paramedic position that was to be posted yesterday afternoon. I was completely shocked! I haven't even graduated yet and I have an interview in just a few days--nothing shy of a touch of the Almighty God. I have been praying about this "somethin serious"! Here I am about to graduate and don't know what I'm going to do for the summer or where I am going to live. The Savior who died for my sins and came into my life to change me has chosen to give me a relationship! Sorry if that doesnt make much since, but sometimes God-things only make sense to the one who encountered it. I should write that last sentence down..ha

OK, here's a random topic! I just received a text message from some random number. Here's the dialogue..this is no joke and it happened while i was typing. number has been changed to protect the innocent, or guilty in this case.
"A swing threw here so i can get a blunt"
Me-"Ayte my bad lost my numbers who dis is?"
Random guy-"this ralph h*e"
Me-"where u at" (thought i might could incriminate him if he was on-campus..ha
Random-"The crib"
Me-"Well I believe you have the wrong number man. I don't do blunts, and you should consider quitting yourself"
Random-"O my bad"
Random-" Man why you playin"
Me-"I aint playin man"

weird.. hmm, and even weirder, maybe God just used me to on a small level impact his life. Hey, maybe this guy will start asking me questions, turn his life over to Christ, and become the next Adrian Rodgers or Billy Graham.... call it wishful thinking if you want, but I believe in a Powerful God!
