10 Things I’m Going To Love About MI

OK, so as I’m preparing this week for my big move to MI I’m thinking what I could share with you all about some reasons why I’m excited about this move. So here we go, let’s see if I can come up with 10.

1. More time I can spend with the most amzing woman I know! πŸ˜‰

2. Many trips to a real beach! (with Vanessa of course!)

3. Taking dancing lessons (with an actual woman too!)

4. Living somewhere where there is more to do than hang out in the Pamida parking lot. (lol, jk, although this area is like Fargo/Moorhead so there is tons more to than Fergus)

5. A new job experience out in the real world. (not sure that this is something I love, but I’m excited for it)

6. Making new friends and meeting new people. (finally I can get out of the box a little perhaps)

7. Wide open opportunities to be used by God! (here I am Lord, er there I’ll be)

8. Could it be, less snow to shovel? I hope so!

9. I still feel like I’m in MN, although I still can’t figure out where all the lakes have gone. Seems they they moved them all together. (lol)

10. Did I mention that there is this girl there, and she has a thing for me I guess. It would seem that I have thing for her too! πŸ˜‰

Well, I don’t think I did too bad. How can I leave out all the most important reasons, like Vanessa! πŸ˜‰ I can’t really express how amazing she is and has been these past few weeks. She’s helped me in so many ways as I’ve prepared to make the move. I can’t wait to see her beautiful smile once again! I sure hope everyone gets a chance to meet her at some point. We’re both hoping to get back out this way to make some visits. It’s all going to depend on our schedules, vacation time, and finances of course. As always anyone is more than welcome to come visit.

I think I’ll be calling it a night for now. I’ve just been waiting for some laundry to get done. My apologizes for not updating you all to my most recent trip to MI. It can however be summed up in this: simply amazing! My favorite day was Saturday as we made breakfast together, made Father’s Day cards together, played a card game, talked, went to the beach, and watched a movie as we held each other. I just can’t wait to have more time with Vanessa! I know we’re going to be blessed to have some days over the 4th. I’m hoping we get to enjoy some fireworks together!

You can all be sure that I’m going to try and make a point of getting at least a weekly post up here once I get moved out there. I know you all will be itching to know what I’m up to! πŸ˜› Well, tata!

    The Call to Being Generous

    If we consider how generous God was to give His son to die for us, his call for us to be generous in our giving pales in comparison. I’ve heard it said, by Robert Morris I believe, that we can’t out give God. I’m always challenged in the area of generosity, with even my time and care for others not just my finances. I am blessed to have a wife that has a generous heart to help challenge me and counter my weakness in this area.

    Your Will Be Done…

    So I’ve been lying in my bed restless, and this after taking night-time cold medicine, for the last 2 hours. Before I layed down I spent a good long while reading some scripture, some devotionals, and another book. I’m feeling right now that all I want for my life is to be doing what God wants me to be doing and going where He wants me to go. I don’t know what this mean for my future. I’ve had a million possible actions run through my head, from continuing on with where and what I’m doing, to up and moving to even another country and doing something. I’m beginning to feel an urgency. I’m thinking this is what has been causing all my restless nights…

    God Has Our Back

    What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? –Β Romans 8:31 NLT This verse should give us the confidence to take on anything. Of course anything that is part of God’s plan and not our own doing. We need to hold on to this truth when we have those bad days where we wonder if it can get any worse or we face seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
  • Picnics, Introverts, & Geeks…

    So yeah, it was a beautiful day for a picnic. It was a little windy but not bad. Maplewood is a very nice park, may have to mention it to Chad as a possible place for the next camping trip. I’m really surprised these people bother to invite me along on these things. I’ve got to be the most anti-social person around, ugh. My converstation skills are the worst. What has me baffled is that I love to listen to people, and find out about them. I just don’t know where to begin. I feel awkward, clueless, and like a dork. I know a lot of my social problems come from not thinking very highly of myself. Yeah so, I’ve got a self-esteem problem, there…

    Seeing, And Meeting, The Needs of Others

    Responding to the Needs of Others Around You I have, at times, been cognizant of the needs of those I’ve been in connection with. Most often the help has come by way of financial assistance. There have been other times that non-financial needs have arose and I’ve responded, but those times seem to have been in the minority. Being Intentional About Seeing, And Meeting, The Needs of Those Around Us We are called to not only help our brothers and sisters in Christ, but to help all those in need around us. I’m reminded of the book the 10 Second Rule. There are so many needs all around us. How often do we simply turn a blind eye all because of our own selfish desires?…

    Garbage In, Garbage Out…Life Is Work

    To get good things out of your life, you have to first put good things in. [W]e don’t have a magic hat that allows us to pull something out of nothing. The positive character traits we seek can only result from a daily commitment to prioritize actions and decisions that please the Lord. I don’t know if it’s our American culture, our sinful nature, or something else entirely, but it seems that more often than not we want everything to be easy with little work or effort required. These lines from my devotional this morning speaks volumes into how we are to live, and how we shouldn’t be surprised when things don’t turn around so quickly for us. The reality is that pretty much all…

  1. You’re acting like a teenager. Aren’t you like 45 or something? Geez. Grow up. GOSH.

    So if I have a thing for this girl who used to have a thing for this other guy but now has a thing for me, should we have a thing together or have things with other people who enjoy things like things, and after all those things, how many times will I have said things?

    Things.

  2. Ummm….I really think that BEACH…..is a truly relative term! I don’t think that MI has a beach….just a lakeside! Just my opinion!
