The Day After Christmas

So pretty much, it is the day after Christmas and I'm at work.  Makes me miss being in school because you get a 3 week vacation for holidays like Christmas.  Oh well, at least I have a job.  So my couple days off were nice.  I did a whole lot of not much.  Sunday I went to the Cheesecake Factory and to see National Treasure with my girlfriend and her family kind of to celebrate her dad being back from Singapore for a couple weeks.  Christmas Eve I went to church with my family and spent the night opening gifts and eating.  It was pretty nice because I'm so busy I don't have time just to relax and hang around my family much.  Christmas day I spent with my girlfriend and her family just opening more gifts and laying around.  So thats it.  Thats my exciting news for today.  

I'm trying to get on here and write more so be looking out...love love  

God...

God is good. His timing is perfet. I just wish that I always saw things in God's timing. You see what had happened was...I was planning on moving to Colorado Springs for a year of music school. My whole focus for everything I have been doing was to that end. Doors were swinging wide open and I was making great contacts at the school and church ( such as the president of the school) and all these great things. So I thought surely this was the direction in which God wanted me to head...and to a degree...my thinking was correct. The part of my thinking that was INcorrect was the part where I was thinking the best thing for me to do would be to go that school. God had a BETTER plan.
I say BETTER because I think that things and decisions in life are, alot of the time, not a question between right and wrong...but between good and best! If I would have gone to the school in CO...that would have been great! But through a series of events...I made some quick decisions and I believe that the BEST thing for me to do was to stay here...for now. So I didn't get to go to the school i was planning on going to but...I started at Destiny Bible College last Tuesday night and I can already tell that it is going to be amazing!
One bad thing though is that I had already quit my job because I was planning on leaving. So now that I am not leaving...I need a new job. I can't get my old job back because my brother already got hired. But hey...I'm the kind of guy that believes that as I seek God and his will...He will bring me to another job that is just AS good or BETTER than my last job. Needless to say...I am learning to TRUST in God and in the plans that he has for me. Not a blind ignorant "trust" or "faith"...you know the kind that people have where they sit back and believe that if God wants something to happen for them...it will...even though all the do day in and day out is sit on their butts and live their selfish lives. I'm talking about the kind of faith where I can continue to move forward...even though I can't see more than one step down the road. But hey...if I could see MORE than one step down the road...I might skip a step or two and miss out on some amazing things that God wants to do in me...for me...and through me...So all of that to say that I am content where I am...but am continually moving forward...hoping to accomplish those things that God has appointed me to do. Love Love....

The Call Nashville

I feel as though i could write a book with all of the thoughts that are in my head right now. The only problem is my mind is spinning so much...I dont know if i can get ANY of it out. This weekend I was able to go to The Call in Nashville, TN. It was 1 day...12 hours actually...of tens of thousands of people...young and old...CRYING out to God and repenting for the wrongs of this generation and the generations before us. There were times of breaking of curses and prophesying the new paths we were to walk on. There were times of asking forgiveness from people who were wronged. There was continually a spirit of worship in the stadium. People were shouting and clapping and dancing and laying before the Lord all day long. The Holy Spirit really opened my eyes to some new things on Saturday...both good and bad. I have never experienced a "prayer service" like i experienced on Saturday. It really challenged me to get desperate...desperate for the presence of God...desperate to see HIS children return to him...desperate to live such a life as to make him take notice of me. I want God to turn to Jesus, who sits at his right hand, and say "See that man...that is my son...and I am proud of him." I...we...don't have time to live a safe, comfortable life. It's time to abandon...ABANDON...thoughts of self and pursue God and His kingdom above all else.
