Days of Dancing

ByTim Nolte
I happy to say that the dancing seems to be going really well. We had our first class last night and we even got a little practice in tonight. Actually, funny enough Vanessa gave me a call tonight right as I was trying to work out some of the dance moves myself. She came over to my place to join me in some practicing. We had so much fun just working on the steps and laughing with each other. I really can’t help but smile as I look into Vanessa eyes as I lead her while we dance. So the verdict comes in, a German man & a Dutch woman can dance together. 😉

Things have been quite crazy as of late. Last week starting Friday it seemed like it was 2.5 days of running. I got involved with doing sound for a new ministry that launched at church this past Sunday. It was a little intense and even a little intimidating. I haven’t even been going to Daybreak long and I’m already been a part of so many things. Don’t misunderstand me here. It’s been wonderful to be able to be serving at church, that’s one thing I love to do so much.

Well, work continues to keep me busy of course. It’s sort of hard to really talk about my job. A lot of what I do is so technical that only a very few would even understand what I’m talking about. I do still enjoy my job a lot. Every day there seems to be a new challenge before me, or some new idea to try. I can see however that I am missing being involved in the whole IT world. I don’t nearly keep up on all the techie stuff I used to. Most of my world revolves around web design and database development. This isn’t all bad, I’ve been able to develop these skill even more since I’ve started working here. Actually, it’s kind of cool to be able to focus on this area. I’ve been involved in the whole web thing for so many years, now I can devote all my working days to this area of the techie world. I am seeing that I really need to work on reclaiming my creative side. I’ve been so involved in the technical world that I’ve lost some of the freedom found in the creative world.

I do have to say, I miss so many of you guys back in MN. It’s been great to see some of you online and catch up, even for only a short while. Hopefully it’ll work out to see some of you in December. Thank you all for your efforts to keep in touch. I hope you can hear how much joy I have living here though. Every day God brings something else my way to show me how He brought me here, that it wasn’t just my decision to be close to Vanessa. I do see however that God has blessed both Vanessa and I so much in our relationship. I do love her very much. She always knows how to show me she cares for me and encourages me in so many ways. I am so blessed beyond what I deserve.

Well, I do suppose that I’d better cut things off here before it gets beyond late. God bless to all!

P.S. If you haven’t checked out the photo gallery lately there are pictures that both Vanessa and I have uploaded of things we’ve done since I’ve been here. Keep a look out for photos from the big Birthday bash this Saturday. 😀

    First I want to thank You Lord for being who You are For coming to the rescue of a man who’s drifted far For calling me to be Your son and calling me to serve Lord the way You’ve blessed my life is more than I deserve Keep the ones I love so dearly, Fill their emptiness while I am gone, And fill the loneliness in me Chorus: This is my prayer, Lifted to You, Knowing You care even more than I do This is my prayer, Lifted in Your name, Your will be done I humbly pray Let me be the evidence of what Your grace can do To a generations struggling to find themselves in You May they come to know the love…

    Ok, so what a day. I wish I had the time to write all that I wanted, but off to bed I go, already late. Quick recap, woke up with a terrible cold (blah), great day at work, wonderful time at praise team practice (this is going to be a great group of youth to work with, we might even get good enough to lead on a Sunday), and well no new news from Apple. Busy day tomorrow with youth group, should be a good one! Chow All!

    When God Moves…

    ByTim Nolte
    Well, I have a feeling if I just let things start to fly this post might get rather lengthy. Hmm, hold on to your hat. 🙂 So today was sort of a struggle for me. The part of my job that I like the least is having to sit at a computer and correct people’s addresses, or add them to a mailing list, yuck. I’m finding I’ve become bored with the whole thought of doing data entry. The things I always like about computers and technology in general are making them do cool new things. Also not just do cool things, but things that can help people better accomplish their work. Well, I’m at a loss to know any better, or cool, way to get…

    Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done…

    ByTim Nolte
    “…on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread…” As I read these words and the pages that went with them, in “The Passionate Life”, it was pretty obvious God was speaking to me concerning my evening. While I’m so thankful for all that God continues to teach me, I feel a small sense that perhaps He has other plans for me then the opportunity to share this life with someone else. I will be honest in that my heart feels a little torn. Not so much because of anyone else, only because it seems that the verse I have claimed and have placed at the top of my blog is truely being lived out in my life. This is…

    Well, I know it’s been awhile since my last little updated, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Vanessa & I have been having a great time with our dance class. It’s so great to have someone to dance with, as I’ve wanted to get into dance for a long time. We haven’t been up to a whole lot over the past couple of weeks because Vanessa got sick and then had some back problems. I feel so bad for her, I wish that I could make her all better but only time and rest help to overcome those things. I’ve tried to help her out as much as I can. I guess there is a part of me that just wants to take care…

    What You Say Is A Reflection Of The State Of Your Heart

    ByTim Nolte
    The function of your mouth is a product of the things that dwell in your heart. In order to tame your tongue, you must first examine your heart and get it right with God. #JamesChallenge James Challenge In this age of social media I’m seeing far too often where people, and especially those that claim to be Christians, spewing words they have no business putting out for all the world to see. Long ago I made to decision that if I what I have to say is not uplifting or helpful I’m not going to share it. Now a post like this could be debatable in that regard, but I’m also not afraid to share God’s truth. As Christ followers we are called to a…
