I just realized I wrote a 2009 Year in Review post last year. This review won’t be quite as elaborate.

I can say 2010 started off very well. We were working on the book launching for Learning the Hard Way, a project we finished up in ’09.

February was, in fact, kind of a blur—I remember having several speaking gigs and feeling a bit burned out by April/May. I read a book (Leading on Empty) that was very encouraging.

Ministry started up again in June with the new school year. This was my first school year to start off working with University Baptist Church (I started working with them around October of ’09). The partnership with UBC has been wonderful—this fellowship has been a great blessing in my life.

I remember July being especially busy with speaking gigs. I had four or five True Love Waits seminars and returned to Central Philippine University’s Christ Emphasis Week (Iloilo City).

August and September were . . . crazy. I learned I would have to move to a new apartment. The move happened in September. It wasn’t too bad: I just transferred to another unit in the same complex, and I actually like this new place a little better. My students seem to like it as well. Other events made these months crazy, but I won’t go into the details.

It seems things were a little quieter for the last quarter of the year. I was reminded to obey God, even if I don’t “get” everything He’s doing.

A few more lessons/reflections from 2010–here are a few posts I haven’t linked to already:

People Pleasing: The Soul Killer–the deadly effects of trying to make everyone happy.

Rejected–a post about rejection and failure actually working to our long-term benefit.

Ministry: Celebrating Victories–thoughts on celebrating changed lives.

This is about the best I can do for now.  Thanks to everyone who has made 2010 an incredible year!

Hey guys,

I thought I’d share a little of what is happening “behind the scenes.”  I know I’ve been kind of quiet on this blog and we haven’t recorded any new shows in a while.

Erwin is finishing the (rigorous) process of ordination with his ministry.   He’s also still working on his church planting ministry and taking care of his family (a wife, two kids, and his parents). 

Before blogging, publishing, or broadcasting there was campus ministry.  That’s still my “main thing,” and I’ve been doing that all along.   I also still answer students’ texts and emails regularly.

In other words, we’ve both been really busy and life has delivered some interesting challenges lately.  

But we haven’t given up on the radio show.  The folks at The Edge have beefed up their staff and I think they’ll be ready to broadcast our show on their website soon.  We’re working on this.  My goal is to have new episodes going again by January.
