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!

  • The Engagement…

    So I know that I’d let everyone know how the engagement happened so here it is. It’s not some super amazing thing. I really wish I could have made it a super magical experience but I just didn’t get there. I planned out a full day of activities together starting with breakfast. I was wanting to include Vanessa’s parents in on the breakfast but they couldn’t make it. Before I got to her place to take her to breakfast I made a quick stop over to the flower shop to get a rose for her. My plan was to use it later in the day. We headed over to a restaurant called Wolfgang’s. It’s located in downtown Grand Rapids I believe. This place has the…

    Great Training Run With Friends This Morning

    Loved being able to do a training run with other guys. 3 things happen, first you’re building relationships and community. Second you’re keeping your heart rate and pace in check as you carry on a conversation, or try to. ? And last the time and miles seem to fly by since you’re focusing less on them. So many benefits, it’s too bad life didn’t allow for all training runs to be with a running partner. [endomondowp type=’workout’ workout_id=’933214802′] Michigan, United States of America
  • Time To Get Serious: Life’s Greatest Pursuit

    Today begins a great step for me. I’ve gotten up in time for devotions & quite time, and looks like I’ll get to work a little earlier. I started reading a devotional I picked up some time ago. Time To Get Serious by Tony Evans. The reading for today seems to fit right along with Pastor Dave’s message yesterday. The key scripture Philippians 3:3-7 was when Paul was talking about all the things he could boast in but that none of it meant anything next to Christ. While the devotional talked a lot about things we tend to boast about, and honestly I rarely feel there is anything I tend to boast about, the biggest message was that getting to know God is the only…

    Fight The Fight, Finish The Race, Keep The Faith

    I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing. – 2 Timothy 4:7‭-‬8 NLT As Christian husbands, and fathers, we are in a battle every day for our families. And each day we have the opportunity to do something to continue the fight. “…the more we keep our bodies fit and free from addictions and stuff that slows us down and causes problems, the more energetic and focused we will be to fight those battles for…

  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).
