Scott Fagaly: The Movement…

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

High School Diploma: check.

College Degree: check.

Career Job: ….

Ok so I have made it through the dreaded years of academia, and this summer i started a pursuit for a job. I got the opportunity to interview with a church called Life Fellowship Church. They are part of the ARC (Association of Related Churches), and they were looking for a creative guy…. After three weeks of anticipation, I can now say that I have accepted a position at Life Fellowship Church in Olive Branch Mississippi. My role there will be to create the content for the weekend experiences, and also for the branding of the church.

I am really excited about this next season of my life. It is an opportunity to get my career started, and be a part of a great team that really loves Jesus. The staff are really solid, and learning how they do things will be the most excited i have ever been about being educated… Olive Branch is located about 10-15 minutes outside of memphis in MS. It is a growing town, and has a lot of great places to eat (which might thwart my attempts at losing weight…haha). Life Fellowship has experienced a lot of growth in the past two years and they are doing better than ever. There is so much creative potential there, I can feel it!

My tentative date for moving is the 2nd or 3rd week in august… there is not an exact date though. I have to find a place to live and all that other stuff… If you know anyone awesome in that area looking for a roommate… hit me up.

To all my friends in Arkansas, I’m only two hours away… don’t freak out… but at the same time, I will miss you guys.

To my friends in memphis…. LOOK OUT! HERE I COME!!!

Keep up to date with my blog to find out more things as they come along….

Self-Evaluation….

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

I hope that I am never to the place where I feel comfortable with my life….

I was reading a very short blog post by my friend Neil Greathouse, and something he said in it caught my attention….

He said:

“I will never stop asking questions.
I will never assume I’ve got it all figured out.
I will never get used to where I am.”

That got me thinking…. Where am I in that journey….

What am I doing to live an uncomfortable life?…What questions am I asking?… How am I growing?… What am I learning?….

I came to the conclusion that I have a lot to work out….up in my noggin….

I started asking myself questions like…

  • How can I grow closer in my relationship with God?
  • What am I doing with the time I am being given?

and that spurred more questions….

  • What am I doing with my book of creative ideas?
  • What books am I reading?
  • Am I a giver to my environment, or a taker?
  • …what in me….needs to change?

So I have come up with some answers, and this might be the healthiest self-evaluation I have done….

Here are a few things I have figured out….

  1. I need to prioritize my God time better….I’m not struggling, but I’m not running the extra mile…. I’m more or less coasting… by getting in the Word and praying a little everyday…. but I can definitely do better… So I’m going to make a point to spend at least an hour a day in the Word….
  2. In the season I am in… I am spending a lot of time this summer doing nothing… this isn’t healthy… I usually rationalize my excessive movie watching and napping with “It’s the summer, you are supposed to relax”…. that doesn’t fly after this post… I need to become more active in using my time wiser… Whether that is through building relationship with people, being creative and growing my abilities, learning more by reading books, or simply just taking time to ask more questions…
  3. I have been a taker…. I need to encourage more people than I do… and contribute to living a more organized life…and I ned to get in shape…
  4. I need to start creating more… It’s healthy for me… end of story…

So I don’t know why you find this interesting, but I feel the need to have some accountability on this by posting it in public…

So to keep in tune with the inspiration of this post, here are a few “I will never’s”….

After this Post:

I will never be comfortable

I will never be a taker

I will never let fear,or laziness allow me to live on idle.

Am I the only one that does self-evaluations?  hope not…

So that’s my plan…
