Colds Stink…

Well, this is going to be another short post. I didn’t get hardly any sleep last night. This cold I’ve caught has really made things hard. Also, with the stuff I’ve got going on, and trying to get up early has been really conflicting. I really need to get some rest. Leading music tonight was tough with this cold, I messed one song and sounded terrible. I can’t wait to get the rest of the team leading, it’ll really help me out.

I feel bad that I haven’t spent much time with the youth guys in the last many weeks. I feel like I really wasted this summer. I know I was gone a binch of times and had a bunch of work to do, but I really should have taken more time out to spend with the guys. Hopefully after this week, and the wedding this weekend I’ll be more available. It’s hard to find time that works around their work schedules and the other stuff going on. I still feel bad that Alex made a point to try and get together last night but I just didn’t have the time.

Last thing before I sign off for the night. I think I’ll be joining a group that is going through Life Shapes on Sundays. Wow, God continues to open my eyes to see how He knows what we need, and desire, and is in control of all things in our lives. I would say that the Life Shapes group probably isn’t the group I thought I was looking for, but I know it is the group God knew I needed. I’m excited to get into the Life Shapes series! I’d gotten a little taste of it when I went out to the convention this summer.

Well, I have to be going. I know I could write a lot more, but sleep calls. Here’s hoping some sleep and vitamin C kick this cold. Chow!

    So I’m the biggest loser on the face of the earth. How could I be so foolish and self-involved to not take one moment to connect with someone I care so much about? I’m unworthy to have someone in my life that cares for me when I can hurt them in this way. I call out to Lord for His foregivess, and even more I call out to her, the one I care so deeply for, Vanessa, for her forgiveness. Yes, I’m sharing with the world that knows me about how I feel about Vanessa, and how I’ve so foolishly let her down. Maybe you think she’ll get over it, but why should she. She has ever right to be upset with me, and question…

    The Keyword is “Since” Not “If”

    ByTim Nolte
    As a follow up to my previous post it’s important that we remember that everything we are called to do as a Christ follower is in the context of “since” and not “if”. What’s the difference? If we have the thinking, “if someone is doing ‘x’, or not doing ‘y’, they can’t be a believer”, we are basically inferring that someone has no faith or belief in Christ because of their actions. That’s a pretty big leap, and a sure fire way to further the view that Christians are righteous, judgemental, hippacrits, essentially modern day Pharisees. As we dig into the New Testament we’ll find it’s very clear that as a result of being, or “since” we are, Christ followers there should be a lot…

    What is The Reason of it All?

    ByTim Nolte
    It’s been forever since I actually posted something on my blog. I’m not even sure why I’ve kept it around for so long. I guess perhaps I thought I would return again to blogging someday. What with things like Facebook there almost isn’t a reason to have your own blog anymore. One probably good thing is the fact that not many people visit here any more so perhaps I can just make this post without it stirring up a lot of issues. I have been married for a little over 2 years now. It’s crazy because it doesn’t even seem like it’s been that long. I’ve been living in MI now for 3 years. These past 3 years have had their share of ups and…

    Major Catch-Up Coming…

    ByTim Nolte
    Ok, so I’ve been pretty out of it blog-wise the past week. It’s not so much an issue of not wanting to blog. It’s just an issue of having the right time to do it. I’m thinking I’m going to work in a good chunk of time tomorrow to catch up on everything that’s been going on. I think my problem too is that I really like doing my post right before I go to bed. This is good and bad as my day is done but I usually spend a good chunk of time writing and don’t get to bed as soon as I really need to. I’m going to leave with at least one topic posted… So a match has been found on…

    Wild Life: No One Gets The Master Plan, And No One Is Perfect

    ByTim Nolte Updated on
    I’ve known for a long time that I’m a perfectionist and a planner. This had always been both a strength and a great weakness for me. The major weakness is that I’m always trying to figure out God’s plan and I turn my perfectionism into unrealistic expectations of others. Also my perfectionism takes a lot of joy out of life. It means that unless it’s perfect I’m not happy, and the kicker is that it most likely 9 times out of 10 it isn’t going to be perfect. That’s a pretty sad way to live honestly. Add to the perfectionism the desire to always have a plan makes life pretty difficult as things more often than not don’t go according to the plan. Reading through…
