Life.is.Great!

How's it going everyone, I know I know. I keep saying I'll write more often but I never get the chance to.

Well tomorrow is my last day of finals for this semester then I have about 1 1/2 weeks of break before summer classes start. I'm hoping to get my car washed sometime during this small break, cause it needs it...bad. =P

But yeah, life is going great! there's some bumps in the road here and there, but it's all worth it, I wouldn't trade it for anything. =)

I'm still alive!

Hey everyone, yes I'm still alive =P
there's been a lot going on lately:
school, having a bunch of tests and homework.
work has been stressful and frustrating lately.
and a lot of family and personal stuff going on too.
but I am finding and keep reminding myself God is still there during this chaos, guiding and directing me.

so yeah. just wanted to let yall know I'm still alive and haven't fallen off the face of the earth, yet =P

hopefully once I get some of these things straightened out I'll be able to post more regularly.

Here's a few pictures from Rekindle 09. I took a bunch, but I don't want to upload ones that have friends in them, without their consent, to protect their privacy, etc.

So this was out on the beach the first night we arrived:













This is one of the rooming buildings:













This is where we had our meetings and heard the preaching:













There was a quote on the wall that read:
"The Gospel is not something partial or piecemeal. It takes the whole life, there is no aspect of life but that the Gospel has something to say about it. The whole life must come under it's influence because it is all-inclusive. The Gospel is meant to control and govern everything in our lives." - Martyn Lloyd Jones
































We had a couple of pretty amazing sunsets
























































































We had a couple of people get Baptized so that was awesome.



Yeah Rekindle 09 was really good. I think the Lord met a lot of people there =)

I'm Back!

Well this is going to be short =P but I just wanted to let yall know I'm back from Rekindle 09! It was Awesome!!! and right now I'm pretty much the Happiest man on earth =P so yeah. I'm tired, it's good to be back! maybe I'll post some pics from Rekindle soon!

what's going on

Hey everyone, I know it's been a while so I thought I'd let y'all know what I've been up to.  Well, as I was writing this the phone just rang.  And turns out my application for International Student Volunteers has been accepted!  Which means, if I can get enough money I'll be going on a trip!  You can check it out at http://www.isvonline.com   So I'm pretty excited right now, I'm just wondering how it will work out with summer classes and stuff.  So we'll see.

God is sooooooo AWESOME!  These past couple weeks for me have been AMAZING!  God's just been opening up opportunities for me right and left.  It's amazing.  I think 2009 will be one of the best  years of my life!  I'm just so excited I can't think of what to say so I'm just going to stop now!

GOD IS AWESOME!!!!

Anything or Anyone...

Well last night we visited the Odell's Care Group. I thought it was good. We talked about Joe's message from a week or two ago, which I missed because I was doing worship for children's ministry. But he also tied it in with the worldliness book, which was cool. But the question that stood out to me most was, What thing if taken from you would outrage you? (or something like that). Like if your iPod was taken from you and you could never have it back, would you be outraged? I thought about it and for the most part if my stuff was taken away from me, sure I'd be mad for a little while, but then I'd get over it pretty quickly. For me it wouldn't be my stuff. It would be people, or to be more specific, a certain person. God's been working on my heart showing me that I can't have anything or anyone above Him. Which is a real struggle for me. Phillipians 4:13.

It's only by God's Grace that we can do anything right.

Valentine's Day

I'm not sure what to write so....yeah
But I did want to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!!!!


Maybe I'll think of something to write later.

Ephesians 3:13-21

Ephesians 3:13-21 So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory. For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
