Don’t Worry Be Happy

13Feb10

Holy cow! This has been such an amazing week. It has literally felt like I have been non-stop every single day this week with something new every single day. I had some BIG news come my way a couple of weeks ago and it has changed my world in a way that is making my life so enjoyable in every aspect. I work for Northstar Church in Panama City, FL. It’s an extremely unique church in the sense that you don’t come in seeing choirs or pews, but a rock-n-roll band and some crazy production stuff. Now yes, a lot of churches are like that these days but there’s something about Northstar that I can’t even explain. It’s the feeling when you walk in the door and you can just feel God moving and changing people’s hearts. I’ve been attending Northstar for about 10 years now and I have working part time on staff doing all of the media arts stuff for a little over 2 years now i believe, maybe a little more. Basically, if you see it any graphic on a screen or on on piece of paper, i had something to do with it. I love my job, I work amongst amazing people everyday and I can see on a weekly basis how my art is helping change people’s hearts and bring them closer to Christ. A couple of weeks ago I was told that Northstar wants me to come on full time so we can be even more effective throughout Panama City with the church, and I can’t even explain how this makes a college think. Now I know you’re probably sitting there going yeah if I could be on salary in college i’d love it too, but it’s not about the money at all. It’s completely about the fact that I know at least for the next several years what i’m going to be doing and I can finally sit down and focus and put all of my efforts into something AND it’s changing the lives of people, literally across the world. As well, this is the first time in my life where I haven’t had to worry about the future. I never worried much about it but all college students know that somewhere deep down you worry about the future because you know everyone in your life is wondering what your going to do as well and everyone’s pulling you a different way. The self portrait above is one I drew last semester and I thought it was perfect because of my expression. I get stressed when a lot of stuff is going on and this week has been one of the busiest weeks of my life but its also been one of the most enjoyable. I loved every minute of work this week. Mission’s have always been a huge part of my heart and helping people in need is a dream of mine, and i’m finally able to live that dream. Creating media and helping people is what I have always felt that I was created to do. For those of you haven’t heard about Love Come Rescue yet, I’ll be posting another blog about it because it needs a whole to explain the purpose and vision of it but it’s part of my job and it’s an organization that we created that is slowly starting to take off across the world and I can’t explain how stoked we are about the future. This blog was a little different from the rest of my other one’s just because I haven’t posted anything in I think the past week and a half because I literally haven’t had time to. And I just wanted to give an update on a little of what’s going on, thanks for reading and check out the stuff on robertjohnhill.com Thanks
