WHAT A FEELIN

Well It finally happend.... Not more waiting. I went Skydiving and I was the most incredible thing I have ever done in my life. I don't know how to describe it. It is the most peaceful thing I have done. Praise God that someone came up with that. 

Sitting in testing !!

Sitting in testing !!
Everyone looks like zombies
Clutching their blue medical blankets
Awaiting the results.
Do I stay or do I go.
There are alot of people who still read. You think that with everything that distracts us. That reading would take to much thinking . But I see alot of big books. I guess that when there is nothing
else left. Reading I'd still ok.
Everyone wearing an ALT worries they r out unless someone does not make it.
1 grand is alot of change and help in peoples lives.
But there are many of us that will have to settle for 1 hundred bucks.
Please god I wanna be pricked by needles . I wanna pay my bills;)
I need this money to happen. Let this alternet go.

I've found my calling........! People.

I'm the type of person that it takes slot to get me emotional. 99% of the time its because of God doing something cool in my life . And the past week its been just that.
I m so in awe of him sometimes. The best moments but also the most humbling ones are the times when something id already known Is reaffirmed byHim. And this week has been just that . On wed caleb preached at his church and talked about outreach . I m not to sure what it was that hit me so hard but I got so pumped up for some adopt- a- block and some real ministry stuff. Ive been thinking and praying about it all this week and yesterday it really hit me. People. People are my calling. Hurting people not the ones that are all put together and ready for the end. Not the holier then thou people. The ones that simply need to know that there is a God out there that loves them and wants what's best for them. The single mom who gives so much of herself to feed her kids that she goes without . The kids who go to school with a garbage bag for a back pack cuz they can't afford anything better. Those are my calling. And I'll be darned if I let Satan stand in the
way of that calling.

Y I love Him

I'm kinda getting in a rytham (spelled wrong) with this whole blogging thing. 

So I'm sitting in my kitchen, my roomies are out having worship practice for tomorrow night and I'm here alone....Y?, cuz I just didn't go. 

I had the day off and I sat and did a whole lot of nothing.... well I worked out with Billy Blanks and then went upstairs. 

WOW what an exciting life I live. 

But God is good. I love him Lots and he makes everything right in my life. 

There have been many times that I wonder why I chose to love God. It's not because my dad is a pastor.

It's not because I have to.

Or that I have some obligation to Love him.

I do because I can.

I do because He makes my life better.

He makes the sun shine and the grass grow.

He gives me the ability to have a purpose greater than myself.

To have a calling.

To lead and to fallow.

To sit and know that he is God and that he will never Give me anything that I can't handle.

Yes at times I get stressed and I don't know up from down, but he lets me feel him and Love him. 

And I love him and serve him because when I'm dumb, and make a HUGE error in my day.

He still has his arms open to me and welcomes me in for a big all consuming Hug.

With all the crap that is out there. all the things that I could be doing right now... The bad things that I could be getting myself into. 

I know that I have a God that no matter what. He is there. I'm so amazed by my God.

He is so great, is moves my soul to a deeper place. A higher place.

He's indescribable. He's my best friend. He gives and gives and gives some more. 

WOW... .really. I know my calling.

It's to love God, it's to always no matter what, wake up in the morning and sing his praises. 

He is in control. of my heart, my emotions, my love, my time and my MONEY.....:) 

I'm called to go anywhere and love him, I'm called to Africa and see his hand in the lives of people who don't have anything but love him more than life. 

I'm called to the one and only thing that keeps my alive. HIM. 

Peace, Love .... and God's grace.  

If I only had a......

Well Here I am, sitting at the St. Louis Bread Co. Pondering my next move.

I made this huge change in my life this past month moving to Alton, Il. I know that it's God but It's really taking it's tole on me. 

I've been getting up around noon everyday...I hate that. 

I've only been working like 25 hours a week. (not enough or what I owe)

And not really seeking out why? I'm here.

You know when you finally make a step in the right direction and then once your there, it does not seem like it was originally envisioned. That's where I am. I seem to just be thinking so much. I have a purpose. I have a calling. I have a goal for my life, To minister and do God's will but it's hard with all the pressures of the world around you. Now my pressure is money. I have all this stuff I owe (bills) and I go from a job that paid 10 an hour 40+ hours a week down to this 7.50 and not even 30 hours a week. I can not live off of that. But God is in Control. He always has been and always will be.

I really want to start speaking again. I sent out some emails to some churches around and so I'l see what happens. Also I am supposedto be going to Wapato to speak sometime this summer.. O how I wish it were soon. I miss speaking, I need to start writing down all the things that God has been doing in me and organizing them into sermons. 

Did you know that the hamberger patty was invented in the late 1800's but the thought of putting it on a Bun was not till around the 1900's. 

Way is it that we think that it just kinda happened. That someone sat down and put meat and bun and tomatoes and katchup together and that's how it has always been.

I'm really learning that God brings things together in HIS timing. Not ours. I might not be full completing and it might not even be YOU who does it all but it gets added to as the years go by. I german who made the Patty might not have even been around for the rest of the additions to it but it don't matter. It started with Him. 

This is only the begging of the story of my life. Alton is playing a supporting roll and back drop for this time a season but it won't end here.

I just need to find out why it's here...I know it is but not sure where and why.

The day has come

Well, The day has come....Kinda sad, kinda excited. 

I'm beginning to miss my family here already. The last few months (9 months to be exact) have been so incredible. I love my family even more than i did..

You know that you have to love family to some extent cuz they are blood but after you see them, live with them and see who they are for more than just a week vacation during the summer, you love them even more.

Kathy, Rick and Tara have been so incredible. I love them more then they could ever know. I know their friends, they are my friends now. I have lived with them and laughed with them. 

Being able to go to church with my grandma has been one of the greatest things of my life. She has a special place in my heart.

I know that all of my family out here will be here for a long time but Leaving them means so much more.

Grand junction (palisade) has become a home. It is an incredible place for me. 

God is so good, He moves in ways that I can not see. My aunt has given me some incredible advise the last months. She is so strong. God moved me here for a reason. At the time I had no idea what that was. Now I know. It was for my family. It was to be able to call them family and love them more then family. 

Leaving tomorrow means a brand new start. Leaving old things and creating new memories and times with God. 

I'm loving more then i ever have before , I'm learning more then ever before and Loving God in new ways. 

I take my whole life here with me. Leave the things that need to be left and take the things  that I have learned to my new home.

I"LL BE BACK!!!

I'm on it likfe blue bonnet

So I know that I have really slacked on the whole Blog thing. and I know that there are a lot of people that I don't get time to talk to that learn about my life through this.

So. here is a really good recap of the last like 4 weeks.

I was going to quit and the Holiday Inn and move to the Marriott back in April, so I put in my 2 weeks and told everyone I was moving hotels but then I had a Conversation with my friend Rachel and she asked me if I had considered going to Alton, Il where my best friend Caleb was and working at his church some and stuff.
So I started thinking about it and knew inside of me that it was right.
So instead of Rachel moving up here and us getting a place together, (which was so hard finding a place out here in Grand junction) we though, "what if we just moved to Alton and got an Apt.

So we talked to Caleb, I told the Marriott that I was not leaving and asked if they could find me a job out there.

I starterd looking a Apt's in and around Alton and was finding some stuff but not much. THEN, I went to craigslist.com and was looking at apts in St. Louis (not Alton) and came across a house for rent IN Alton (not St. Louis) 900 a month for a 3 bedroom 2 bath.

I text Caleb and he looked it up and by the end of the week, it was ours!!!

So as it stands, rachel will be here this friday, ANd on the 5th of June, we are on the way to ALTON!!!!

I'll start my new job the next week.

GOD IS SO GOOD> it's amazing what he puts in place when you willing to move (in move ways than one)
