God’s Amazing Work

So I know that I haven’t been so good about keeping up my blog posts on a regular basis. It’s kind of amazing how even when life seems to settle down you don’t have time foe some of the simple things. I guess one issue I’ve been facing lately is not being able to get to sleep early, and getting up early. It just has kind of thrown things off a bit. I guess the other part of my lack of blogging is the fact that I’ve started the podcast as well. Even more is how much God has been doing in my life, which has kind of kept me from blogging. Like the fact that I have someone special that is apart of my life.

This has really been something that has been “in the works” for about the past 3 months. Most of you should already know who I’m talking about. I guess Vanessa and I have sort or arrived at the place where we both feel that our relationship has become more than just friends. We’re excited to see where God leads us. While this is a sort of big part of my life, God has also been working in another big way.

I have talked about, for some time, my feelings of being inside a Christian bubble that just seems comfortable and even easy. I’ve struggled with the thought of not really having and friends or aquintences that are not Christians. I’ve been feeling that what the church, as everyone around here knows it, isn’t enough for me. I’ve talked about my desire for authentic Christian community. Not compartmentalizing my faith. I want to be in a community of believers that wants to do relational ministry. Where has God brought me? He’s brought me to a point in my life where I feel ready for a huge change in my life. I don’t know where, or when, He’s going to move me. I do know that at some point in the probably near future I will be leaving behind a lot of things, people & where I live. I’m sure people will be sad to see me go, but my God is not my own, it is God’s to do with what He wills.

So yeah, that is where I’ll leave things for now. I’ll be looking to post more on the relationship stuff as I feel it good to do so. Valete!

  • Haven’t Posted in Awhile…

    I haven’t posted in awhile, something I must work on as usual. Seems like these days I’m so terrible with keeping in touch with people. This isn’t the way I’ve wanted it to be. I seem to constantly struggle between holding on to the life I once led and pushing forward with the new life God has given me. As this new year has begun I’ve had some opportunities to reflect on my life, and how God has changed it in a huge way. A little over a year ago I would have never guessed that within the next year God would bring an amazing woman into my life and lead me to change almost my entire life. God is so good, and faithful beyond…

    Running…My Physical And Spiritual Race

    No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. – Philippians 3:13‭-‬14 NLT As I’ve entered into day 3 of my 5K training, more like day 2 but I’m sticking with the schedule, this verse reminds me that there is more beyond just the physical race that I’m preparing for. It’s easy for us to lose sight of how God is working in our lives, especially with how crazy our world is getting. I’m thankful for these reminders and the hope I have in…

    Friday & Traveling…

    Well Friday was a typical day. The construction on my new office is taking a little longer than originally hoped. It looks like I should be in by next Wednesday, the server equipment will have to wait until next Friday. I had to take an early lunch break so I could be home while they fixed my internet. It ended up being some problem with the signal coming from the poll. Basically I ended up eating my lunch while I continued working at my desk. I took off early to head to Brainerd for the evening, to say a final goodbye to my brother. He was shipped out at about 1am Saturday. I didn’t stay to actually see him off as I wanted to get…
  • Another Quick Note…Podcasting Has Begun…

    Well, the first official Faith Shaping podcast has been created and published. I’ve still got some work to do with submitting the feed to all the podcast directories. The podcast actually ended up being a 20 minute episode. After listening to it I have some things to improve on but it seems to have gone pretty well.

    Great Training Run With Friends This Morning

    Loved being able to do a training run with other guys. 3 things happen, first you’re building relationships and community. Second you’re keeping your heart rate and pace in check as you carry on a conversation, or try to. ? And last the time and miles seem to fly by since you’re focusing less on them. So many benefits, it’s too bad life didn’t allow for all training runs to be with a running partner. [endomondowp type=’workout’ workout_id=’933214802′] Michigan, United States of America
