From time to time I am taken aback by my wife and her beauty. We have almost spent 2 years together in the refinement of marriage. These have been two years of unfathomable value to me. My wife is perhaps the single greatest teacher I have. I often find her to be the impetus of growth and the balm to my wounds. I am the recipient of untold grace, support, and encouragement from her.
I recently was asked to recount my story and how faith in Jesus became such a central part of my life:
I’ve been searching my whole life. It began as a very young child: An intense longing to matter complicated by the fact that I am the only adopted son of three children. As seems to be the testimony of most with a similar lot in life, an identity crisis existed that was nearly inconsolable by either of my parents. A taste of this here, a touch of that there. That is how it began. I can say with confidence now that God protected me in my search to a large degree.
A prehistoric swamp turned small farming town turned college burg is where I make my home. 25 miles south of the old Glass City, Bowling Green Ohio has become very dear to me. I journeyed here in 2002 to 
attend university where I planned to get a B. A. in Psychology and go on to grad-school. That was then and this is now. I’ve since graduated with a Psychology degree but I’m on a very different path than I might ever had imagined 7 years ago.
I’m currently gearing up to work with [Cru] a campus ministry found here at Bowling Green State University. I will be working with [Cru] here in B. G. for the foreseeable future connecting and journeying with college students as they decide who they are continually becoming. There is nothing like it I’m certain and there is no more crucial time in a young man or woman’s life. I must be a part of it.
If you’d like to know a little bit more about [Cru] you can vistit BGCru.com. There is a ton of media content, short talks on life and spirituality, and current updates on the ministry; all produced by the staff and students here in Bowling Green.
