Far And Few Between…

ByTim Nolte
I know it can only be a quick one. I can’t believe it’s been over a month since my last post. I remember the days when I could barely posting only single entry each day on my blog. I’m really thinking once life settles down a little, that I really want to get back into at least giving some updates with what Vanessa and I are up to.

Only 19 more days until I’ll be a married man! I really can hardly believe it. And the thing that seems even more amazing is that I’m going to be marrying an unbelievable and amazing woman like Vanessa. I only wish that it was easier for everyone that I know from back in MN to have the time to get to know her as I do.

I still wonder at times what there can really be about me that has put the desire in Vanessa to want to be my wife. It really seems like she could do a lot better than me. The thing that I truly believe however, is that this wasn’t something that Vanessa and I did. I can only see that God has had a bigger plan for bringing us together than we could have ever seen. I know that both of us can look back on our pasts and wonder how it is that it took those things to bring us together now. Why couldn’t we have found each other years ago? I think God’s plans and timing are always better than anything we can come up with. Yesterday evening, after watching a wonderful movie “Facing the Giants”, I broke down in tears of joy as I looked back on how God took the last 10 years of my life to prepare me for the life I’m about to begin with Vanessa. And I was amazed at how God answered my desire in His perfect timing. There isn’t a day that passes that I don’t thank God for bringing Vanessa and I together. How great, how true, and faithful He is. We serve an amazing God!

    When God Calls for Patience…

    ByTim Nolte
    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 community of faith, postmodern youth outreach, and reading some about the idea of the emergent church. What does this all mean? I have no clue. I feel an urgency to move (not just location), and for making great changes in my life. I’m searching to find out what’s next. I’m finding that perhaps God is calling me also to be patient and let Him reveal this change to me in His time. I kind of feel like it’s a bit cruel to be called in such a way but then asked to wait. I know, of course God is…

  • Only A Weekly Post It Would Seem?

    ByTim Nolte
    So what takes up so much of Mr. Tim’s time that he cane only find the time once a week to post on his bloody blog? That’s a good question. While it would seem that in an effort to simplify my I’ve managed to make it slightly bit more complicated. What is the one greatest thing that can complicate a man’s life? Take a guess, and I’ll only give you one try. A woman always complicates life, and yes that has what’s complicated mine. And you know what, I say bring on the complication and piles of it! I know some of you are aware of this special someone in my life, and you are all dying to meet her. Well, I’m dying for everyone…

  • First Work Morning, in the New Place…

    ByTim Nolte
    So really yesterday was my first morning waking up in my new home, however this is the first morning that my work morning routine begins to take shape (at least until we return from our honeymoon). I’m going to have to keep this short for now. These past couple of weeks, and now this week, have been amazing for my morning devotions. I struggled at the beginning of the year to want to go through one of the devotionals I had because I had already been through it a couple years ago. The amazing thing is over the course of the last couple of weeks, and now this one, the devotional readings have all been about marriage. This week talks about life after the honeymoon,…

  • 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.

    Where’s The Line…Freedom in Christ or Good Witness

    ByTim Nolte
    (1 Corinthians 14:13-25) In my devotion time today, Paul was again talking to the church in Corinth about matters of witness to unbelievers and escentially the freedom found in Christ. The problem for the early church, and I would say that this problem has not gone away, was that for the unbelievers (or even weak or new in faith) there were things that they didn’t understand which easily turned them off to Christianity. The hard part comes in that God has called us, as Christians, to be different than this world. While we are to be different we are also to do so, not in a way that turns people away, but in a way that draws other to Christ. There comes decisions which have…
