Honestly Though

Time to start this up again..for me.
My last entry was in January? Ridiculous. I want to start being more transparent on here, a task that I feel will prove to be difficult. I am not sure if I should just start writing about current things or try to catch you up on whats been going on. I like the idea of a quick run through so hang on...(these are not in order)

MY OLDER SISTER GOT MARRIED. This is insane to me. Over the last year Kate and I rekindled a relationship that we had not experienced since we were kids. She started coming into the shop and talking over coffee, and I think we realized that despite our differences we have a ton in common (after all we are siblings) and our relationship is more valuable than anything else. ANYWAY, she is no longer a Yurchak, but rather has taken the name of her now husband (so weird to say/type/think) Sparkman. Zach is a great dude, I do believe that they will have a prosperous, happy life together.

My brother Khristian (Bish) graduated College. This was less celebrated than the above mentioned wedding but a big deal nonetheless.

My band released a new single. It's called Undertow and its the first song in a batch of singles we will be releasing throughout 2013.

I started playing at a new church. It was time for me to move on from Journey and I found myself playing at Rivers Crossing in Landen. I have a lot of friends who play/go here including Canoes drummer Doyle. Its been an amazing time of growing as a musician and also as a believer.

My relationship with God has been interesting. I started reading a book called Letter From a Skeptic by an author named Greg Boyd and it has been rocking my world on the way that I view God and my relationship with him. I am challenged to grow in my knowledge of God and the way that I interact with him.

The shop has been going through some changes. We started serving Deeper Roots coffee about 2 months ago and it has been amazing. I have known Ryan and Les from DR for a couple years now, initially meeting through Tazza Mia. I am beyond pumped to be working alongside them in preparing the amazing coffees that they roast.

I am sure there are other things, I may even sneak back in and edit some in if I think about it, even though thats cheating.

A goal that I have is to make this blog less day to day and more thoughts, stories, experiences based. We'll see.
