I am married to the most aesthetically stunning woman ever created, and the father of the two most precious children on the planet! (I am slightly biased) I love life and do my best to live it to the fullest. One of my favorite things to do is tell stories, and that is what you will find in my blog. I feel like everyday is a new day for God to do something amazing and teach me something new. You can find updates about Awestruck, sermons, and random stuff about my family here as well.
I am the Pastor/Creative Paradox of Awestruck Church. We meet on Sunday mornings at 9:45 and 11 at 5840 Butler Rd in Gibsonville, NC. We are so excited to see what God is going to do in Eastern Guilford County through Awestruck!

I dont know where to go to just leave you a message but this is the best that I could find. If you could write me back to my email that would be wonderful. It is richard_and_cesalee@yahoo.com Anyways. Here is my message to you.
Hi Josh.Im sure you know who I am since you sent me your email. But my name is Cesalee and I attended two of your semons. Your first and second and they were amazing. They touched me in some way to make my belief and faith return to me. I use to be a strong believer as a child but as my childhood growing up into my adulthood it had faded. Anyways. When I had seen your first sermon about colliding and crashing and forgiveness it made me want to cry because of how touching it was to me personally. I am 19 and just recently had my son of 17 months murdered by the hands of my own mother and her boyfriend here in South Carolina where I just recently moved to upon my husbands military transfer. He was brutally beaten and when he was seen at MUSC pediatric ICU the doctors had found 3 skull fractures. 2 on both sides of his head above his ears (done approximitely aorund the same time) and one on the back of his head and that one was extremely large due to swelling of the brain causing his skull to split worse in the back. My mother is now in jail pending trials and was given a bond of 200 thousand and her boyfriend about a month ago was given 100 thousand and he was out on bail that same night. When you say its ok to forgive someone its hard to forgive something like that but at the same time I forgive them because I know my son is now in a safe place and in His hands and He Himself is giving my son what my mother and her boyfriend could not do. I know now that He has a plan for everything. And when you said in your first sermon about spinning in circles and colliding until you get on the right path of which He wants you in..it hurts to know that family had the capability of doing this.. I still love children to this day. Maybe He took my son to His home because maybe something just as trajic or worse was down the road and didnt want that to happen. Its a harsh way to take a child and its hard to know that we had to break the cycle of children burying their parents but we will never forget who our son was. And I just want to say thank you for helping me gain my belief and faith back.
Sincerely.
Cesalee.
I really like it whenever people get together and share ideas.
