Where Have All The Posts Gone?

So it would seem that I really lost touch with my blog. I wouldn’t be surprised if no reads the thing anymore, although I do know that some have you have bugged me about it. So what’s my excuse? Life. Yeah, I know that’s a poor excuse but I’ve been bust working away trying to do what I need to do if this move is going to happen. Don’t misunderstand me here…my desire is that God be in total control of all the details, but I am responsible for looking for a job, and doing my part for the sale of my house.

Well, here’s a brief recap of the past couple of weeks. Over Memorial weekend I headed down to Le Sueur for my sister’s graduation. Vanessa came in on Friday and stayed through Tuesday. Friday night and Saturday were busy and stressful days getting ready for graduation stuff. On Sunday was the actual graduation cermony. That eveing Vanessa and I went on a picnic. We finally had some time for ourselves. It was an amazing evening! On Monday we went with my family to Valleyfair for the day. We had a blast getting wet and going on roller coasters. The weekend, and most specifically the time with Vanessa was too short. It has been harder for us to be apart over these past couple of weeks.

Well this Monday I got an excellent call. Before the Memorial weekend I got an initial call about a possible job. This Monday I got a call requesting an onsite interview. Welll, so I am all set to make anothe trip out to MI next Thursday. God’s pretty amazing how he provided this opportunity for Vanessa and I to see each other again. I’m really hoping that I can perhaps line up some other interviews maybe so that my trip isn’t wasted, job wise, for a job I don’t get. It’s going to be and interesting trip. I’m going to be taking a flight from Minneapolis to Chicago, then hoping on a train to Michigan. I’ll be doing the same in reverse on the way back. This will be my first train ride so I’m kind of excited about it, but nervous too.

Well, that’ll be all for now. I’ve been busy this week getting things cleared out, and starting to pack some things. tata!

    What’s Up With Me Today…

    ByTim Nolte
    Of course, anyone that read my blog earlier, or will read my earlier post, will know that my day started out kind of crappy. Let’s just say that my mind and emotions got the better of me. Thanks to God for great friends and encouragers. I’m not sure if perhaps Caristy read my blog and told John to invite me out with the seminary students for lunch but it made a huge difference in my day. I won’t doubt that this was just God at work. I also got some very encouraging words from Cassie, thanks. I kind of shared breifly tonight with Andrew about the issue I have, and what caused all my problems this morning. Here it is for all to see. I…

    The Time Has Come…

    ByTim Nolte
    Well, for those that have long awaited a post to thie fabulous blog, here we go. This will probably be a short one. So much has been going on since my last post, actually a lot happened through December that I didn’t even get time to write about. I’m really looking forward to life settling down a bit. The first day of youth group begins tomorrow, and we had are first youth praise team meeting today, since Christmas that is. Tonight we just came up with a list of songs we want to do this winter/spring. I’ll be putting together the set lists and get them all the songs. I’ve even created a schedule that will be available online as well. I’m looking forward to…

    Working From Rest, Productivity At It’s Best

    ByTim Nolte
    “Man’s blessing didn’t come from what he produced, rather, what he produced stemmed from his blessing. Let that blessing fuel your work, so that striving ceases and what you produce comes out of a place of rest.” – SELAH | Defining Rest In The Age Of Productivity The start of this study reminded me of the Life Shapes, specifically the Semi-Circle. There has been a lot of proof that in order to perform at our best we need adequate rest. What that rest looks like can be different for everyone. We are all charged back up in different ways depending on our personalities. Nonetheless, we all need to be charged up to tackle what’s before us. Even as a runner, I’ve seen first hand what…

    Seeking God’s Direction When Looking Out On The Horizon

    ByTim Nolte Updated on
      Both my wife an I are going through a low point where neither of us feels we have clear direction on where we are headed. Specifically, where and how we are to be serving. I thought I had some clear direction but a week ago that all seemed to change. I’m finding myself questioning a lot of things right now. It’s difficult to weather the storm when things start to fall apart. One thing is clear though, that no matter where in the journey we find ourselves God is right there to walk with us through it. We’ll see what this next season brings for our family. One thing is for sure, given that both my wife and I feel like we are at…

  • Podcast Site Development Begun…

    ByTim Nolte
    Well, the domain name (https://www.faithshaping.org/) has been setup, and an initial site has been created. I won’t probably be getting back to the work on this for at least another week. I hope to have the two final projects I’m working on finished up by then. I’m also hoping to have my new Podcasting gear by then, actually it may be here by the end of the week, we’ll see. I can’t wait to really get going on this. I’m not exactly sure how I’m going to fair as a radio personality type.

  1. I’m reading your blog – but of couse I was one of those people that was bugging you to do another one right :).

    OK – so I thought I should share my thoughts on the weekend. So one of the highlights was definetely the picnic that Tim planned for me. It was very special. He didn’t go into detail so I will (he is being modest). He spent a lot of time figuring out how to make the picnic the best it could be. He took me to a beautiful park where we sat at a picnic table next to a waterfall type feature that was created. He packed a lot of my favorites and brought sparkling grape juice with special glasses. He also gave me a gift, a journal. I love to journal, so it was the perfect gift! After the picnic, we walked and talked then we watched the sunset. OK – all the girls are at this point saying “ahh that is so romantic” right? It was amazing. So anyways, we had a great time.

    I loved meeting Tim’s family and just spending time with them. Valleyfair was so much fun to spend with most of the family – and it helped us cool down since it was really hot that weekend.

    Well – I better stop there as I have to get back to work. I like it when you write Tim – even though I get to talk to you all the time. 🙂
