God is Awesome, of Course…Today Life is Grand Too!

Ok, so today was a pretty excellent day. It’s amazing that God can be so good to us despite our downfalls. Well, this morning I found out something pretty crazy. One of my matches on eHarmony just happens to be someone that I at least know of. I can’t recall actually meeting her at anytime. The thing of it is that I have worked with her sister. And I know her Dad. She’s not a paying member of eHarmony but that’s just fine. We’ve already started to chat a little on MSN. I don’t know where this will lead if anywhere. I have no expectations but I’m looking forward to getting to know her. I already know enough about her that I know I’m looking forward to getting to know her better. She’s going to be in a production of the musical Grease this weekend at Concordia University. I’m actually considering this. I have no real plans, and I’d love to go see a musical. We’ll see I guess the days would be either Friday or Sunday. Well we’ll see.

Another great thing today was youth group. I decided to lead a few songs totally unplugged. It was great as everyone there was totally into singing. We had a good time of discussion when Andrew led tonight. Oh, and also I was able to communicate to the small group leaders tonight about something that God placed on my heart to share. When we got into it, our small group was excellent. I really hope the guys got what they needed from tonight. We actually decided to start meeting Mondays at 6:30 am at Perkins for a time to study God’s Word. This is going to be a great way to start of the week I think. I’m trusting God to bless this time and guide me as I lead it. I’m going to be doing some learnin’ here too, which I’m really looking forward to. This is something I’ve thought about doing for some time now. I had the benfit of having a youth leader (Doug Bruce) that took the time to do this with me when I was in high school. It had a huge impact on my life.

Well, it’s late once again…I want to get a little reading in before I ge to bed. I knew I shouldn’t have gotten on to IM…oh well it was all good. Chow for now!

    So it would seem that I really lost touch with my blog. I wouldn’t be surprised if no reads the thing anymore, although I do know that some have you have bugged me about it. So what’s my excuse? Life. Yeah, I know that’s a poor excuse but I’ve been bust working away trying to do what I need to do if this move is going to happen. Don’t misunderstand me here…my desire is that God be in total control of all the details, but I am responsible for looking for a job, and doing my part for the sale of my house. Well, here’s a brief recap of the past couple of weeks. Over Memorial weekend I headed down to Le Sueur for my…

    Long Time Gone…

    ByTim Nolte
    Well, it seems that once I get out of sync with something it can be like pulling teeth to get back into it. It pretty much began when I moved out here to Michigan that my online presence started to fade a little. Since I’ve gotten married it’s been even less. I think what has happened is that when I was just a single guy there was not really anyone much to protect. I could pretty much voice my opinion and share my feelings about anything to the entire world without much fear of the consequences. Things are very different now. I have a wife to protect. This isn’t a bad thing. I’d protect her from anything I could, she’s my wife, I love her…

  • Been A Long Time

    I haven’t posted on here for so long I’m sure no one is following me anymore. It’s crazy to think that there was a time when I was posting like everyday, sometimes twice. Things are of course different now. I think the thing is that when I was posting before it was all about what was going on in my life. Now my life is not just me but my wife also. I think if I put myself out here, I’m taking her along with me, and I don’t want that. The other problem seems to be finding the time. There are just a lot more important things, like my wife, than blogging. I do try to post little updates on my Facebook or Twitter,…

    A Christian Husband’s Greatest Calling In Marriage

    ByTim Nolte
    As Christian husband’s I think we easily fail to remember the greatest calling we have in our marriage. We can’t out-love God. Christ loved us so much that he died for us, and that’s the sort of love we are called to have for our wives. For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her – Ephesians 5:25 NLT

  1. Hey, that’s where I go to school. I know who you’re talking about too and also know her sister, having worked with her at camp. I don’t really know her though but see her on campus quite a bit (very small school).
