Daily thoughts and experiences from my mind and life.
God @ Work
Have I Forgotten?
Mar 6th
I know that morning will come too soon, I’ve got to be to work by 5am, but once again I find myself searching. I love how
When I look back to my days over a year ago I see a totally different life. I was pouring myself into youth and yearning to have God change my life in amazing ways. These days I find myself plugging away at work and occasionally giving a hand at church. I wonder, have I lost site of what’s most important? Have my own desires of a wife caused me to forget what God has really called us all here to do? Tonight at our

Not To Be Concerned…
Sep 4th
I want to thank those of you that expressed concern for me because of my protected post. It’s so amazing to know that there are so many people that care about how I’m doing. I want to assure you all that things are simply amazing right now. I know that most of you don’t really know Vanessa, but I hope that you will get to meet her some day, but for me she is the most amazing woman I know. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of her and feel so completely blessed by God for how He brought us together. She has an amazing way of always making my days brighter. To see her smile always brings me joy. My greatest desire, and also my greatest fear, is to be able to show her how much I care for her. Everday I see us growing closer and being able to share more of our thoughts and feelings with each other. I feel as though there is nothing I can’t share with her, and I know that she will be there to support me and help me through anything.
We have been able to spend so much time together over the past few days, it has been simply amazing. It’ll be strange to be getting back to the normal work schedule days, saying good bye to summer as it slowly begins to fade away. With each season though brings new experiences, and I’m looking forward to them all.

Another Day With My Thoughts…
Aug 22nd
Well, I think the unfortunate thing is that I’ve lost my amazing blog audience. I can really only blame myself of course. Let’s see, the very fact that I’ve barely had a weekly update, er, ok so it’s barely made it to be a bi-monthly update. Well, on to my continued thoughts.
I think the crazy thing is I finally had to come to the reality that I need to let things go. It can be so easy for me to get worked up about something, and in the end it really isn’t very significant in the whole scope of things. What benefit is there to let myself get all worked up to the point where I can’t get to sleep and my mind just keeps cranking away. I know that one of my downfalls is that my mind always seems to be grinding away about something, or many things. It’s apparent as well that it obviously takes more energy to resist something than it does to just go along with it. Now, don’t take that the wrong way either. I’m not condoning anything here. I only mean that in my situation where something is relatively small in comparison to the grand scheme of things, it might be just as well to just let it go and move on. So yes, that is the way to go, but I’m not saying it’s easy to just let things go. I find myself still finding it hard to just let it go.

What God Brings…
Jul 8th
It has been a few days since my last update. I think I should now be able to have more regular updates as I finally have internet access at my place, and my wireless is up and running. It’s not that I couldn’t post from Vanessa’s, that’s where the last one was posted from, I’ve just had a lot of other things to do during the day, and my best posting time is usually at night. If I’m at Vanessa’s in the evening we are usually spending time together, well I guess we’ve been spending just about all our evenings together. We have both talked about trying have more of a routine for the both of us. With the holiday during this week, and me still getting all settled in and not working yet, it’s been out of the norm for the both of us. I don’t think either of us mind all the time we’ve had to spend together, our times in the past were so rare it almost seems unreal to have all this time and flexibility, but we will need to settle into a more regular schedule and we’re definitly going to have to work on how late things get. I need to start taking the lead here I think, I need to be looking out for how much sleep Vanessa needs. I’m so much a night person and she is more of a morning person. I need to look at switching gears a bit and get my sleeping patterns adjusted.
I have to say that this week, or at least since I’ve gotten moved here, has been amazing. I’ve loved to see how God has continued to bring everything into place, and how He has blessed Vanessa and I with the time we’ve had to share together. Tonight was really in a way our first date for a long time. I simply cannot wait to be able to plan more date nights. I had so much fun and excitement planning things for tonight. I can only say that I still feel so amazingly blessed by God for everything He has given me, especially Vanessa. I simply can’t wait for all that know me to have the chance to meet her and get to know her. She has such a huge love and excitement for serving God, I love that about her. I’m sort of bumbed that I won’t be able to go on the Missions trip with her in a couple of weeks. I would have enjoyed so much to be able to serve along side her. I truly hope that God brings other opportunities for us to server together in the future.
