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!

    Another Quick One…If That’s Possible

    ByTim Nolte
    Well, the goal here is to keep it short so I can get to bed. So today was a pretty good day. I really feel like I got some things done at work. I’ve been getting some very encouraging words from many, I thank you all again. As I’ve thought even more about this topic of relationships I’m finding myself torn on a fine line between expecting God to do all the work and taking it all into my own hands. I think a big issue is motivation. While it’s not bad to look elsewhere for social interact, thinking about not having much for single people to hang out with, my motivation is to find my future wife. This really needs to be left to…

    (Matthew 9:37) Why does it seem that the spiritual needs of people in this world vastly out-weigh the human resources? Why does it seem as though the Christian community (church global) continue to fail in it’s ministry to the world we live in? Where is our faith, is it so small that it has rendered our witness useless? Am I the only one out here that has his hearting breaking every time I see the brokenness of this world? How do we truely make a global impact for Christ in this world? God, give me Your guidance and wisdom, help me to be the kind of Christian You call us to be. Keep my eyes open, and give me the courage to share Your message…

    When The Well Runs Dry…

    ByTim Nolte
    That title actually has a couple of meaning this morning. As I drove myself to work this morning it kind of hit how spiritually dry I feel today. This comes from the lack of reading and morning quite time I’ve had for most of the week. Oh how I long for those days of having a couple hours before I head off to work to enjoy the morning and spend some time in the word. And to the times I had to read a chapter in a good book before I drifted off to sleep. These are things I’m really hoping to get back in my routine. It’s basically come to light that I am a total creature of habit/routine. Once I can get into…

    Devotions for Sacred Parenting #25: Stop Judging and Start Loving

    ByTim Nolte
    “The sinful, selfish side of us truly wants and sometimes even expects a “perfect” child, but God doesn’t grant us “perfect” children in this fallen world—and even if he did, we imperfect parents would soon mess them up.” – Devotions for Sacred Parenting by Gary L. Thomas I’m pretty sure I’m not alone with finding myself in a situation with my kids where I’ve thought to myself “why can’t my kids just behave? What’s wrong with them?”. The second question is normally followed up with the fact that my daughter is special needs, and that’s the “problem”. However, as I continue to learn God is in the business of changing lives, and he’s sure working to change me. Every day I see areas that I…

    My Beautiful Birthday Girl

    ByTim Nolte
    On Saturday I had the pleasure to take my very special girl, Vanessa, out for a dinner cruise on Lake Michigan. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset, dinner, and a little dancing. I enjoyed every moment celebrating the day with Vanessa. I don’t know if I can really express how much I care for her. I can honestly say that I don’t think I can imagine a life without her. I’m always in awe at how great God is to have brought us together. A year ago I never would have thought I’d be living in Michigan and have such an amazing woman in my life. Life has been a little out of the ordinary lately. I ran sound again this week for Splash, it was…

  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. 🙂
