When God Calls for Patience…
Mar 9th
I’ve been caught up tonight in some major Google searching. “For what” you may ask, “where is God leading me?”. The realm of my searching was 
Well, anyone that is looking at this here blog, keep me in your prayers. Also if you’ve got and God-inspired revelations of what I ought to be doing I’d love to hear them. Well, I’m off to that sleepy place.
When God Moves…
Mar 9th
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 information into the database. So let’s just say that I took some opportunities to play around with some video conferencing software.
Youth group tonight was kind of odd, and then I never really expect (or ever want) it to be “normal”. Hangout and game time was good. The game we played I had been apart of this summer when we played it. Let’s just say I ended up eating the banana that time. I wasn’t in the mood for eating a banana and I wasn’t in the mood to get my white shirt stained again, as happened to me last time. I found a way to bow out of the game and just snap some photos. [side note: That reminds me that I'll have to get the photos from tonight up on the photo gallery.] I would have to say that God was moving through our praise and worship time. As a worship leader, when you can let all of the pressures of “getting things right”, and truely use the time as your own act of worship, the Spirit can move. I was in awesome wonder as I took moments to listen to the youth be in a spirit of praise and worship to God. Amazing!

God’s Amazing Work
Mar 7th
So I know that I haven’t been so good about keeping up my blog posts on a regular basis. It’s kind of amazing how even when life seems to settle down you don’t have time foe some of the simple things. I guess one issue I’ve been facing lately is not being able to get to sleep early, and getting up early. It just has kind of thrown things off a bit. I guess the other part of my lack of blogging is the fact that I’ve started the podcast as well. Even more is how much God has been doing in my life, which has kind of kept me from blogging. Like the fact that I have someone special that is apart of my life.
This has really been something that has been “in the works” for about the past 3 months. Most of you should already know who I’m talking about. I guess Vanessa and I have sort or arrived at the place where we both feel that our relationship has become more than just friends. We’re excited to see where God leads us. While this is a sort of big part of my life, God has also been working in another big way.

Change Me…Change Me…Please Change Me
Mar 5th
Did I change your mind, with what I said last night?
Did I break your heart, by straying so far?
From what you have in mind, for my life?Would you change me, from who I’ve been lately?
‘Cause I know I’m nothing without you.Did my words betray, the patience I once claimed?
Can’t you see it in my face? I need your grace.Would you change me, from who I’ve been lately?
‘Cause I know I’m nothing without you.
Would you save me, from the way I’ve been lately?
‘Cause I can’t see living without you.Would you speak to me?
Show me what I need.
