Days of Dancing

I happy to say that the dancing seems to be going really well. We had our first class last night and we even got a little practice in tonight. Actually, funny enough Vanessa gave me a call tonight right as I was trying to work out some of the dance moves myself. She came over to my place to join me in some practicing. We had so much fun just working on the steps and laughing with each other. I really can’t help but smile as I look into Vanessa eyes as I lead her while we dance. So the verdict comes in, a German man & a Dutch woman can dance together. 😉

Things have been quite crazy as of late. Last week starting Friday it seemed like it was 2.5 days of running. I got involved with doing sound for a new ministry that launched at church this past Sunday. It was a little intense and even a little intimidating. I haven’t even been going to Daybreak long and I’m already been a part of so many things. Don’t misunderstand me here. It’s been wonderful to be able to be serving at church, that’s one thing I love to do so much.

Well, work continues to keep me busy of course. It’s sort of hard to really talk about my job. A lot of what I do is so technical that only a very few would even understand what I’m talking about. I do still enjoy my job a lot. Every day there seems to be a new challenge before me, or some new idea to try. I can see however that I am missing being involved in the whole IT world. I don’t nearly keep up on all the techie stuff I used to. Most of my world revolves around web design and database development. This isn’t all bad, I’ve been able to develop these skill even more since I’ve started working here. Actually, it’s kind of cool to be able to focus on this area. I’ve been involved in the whole web thing for so many years, now I can devote all my working days to this area of the techie world. I am seeing that I really need to work on reclaiming my creative side. I’ve been so involved in the technical world that I’ve lost some of the freedom found in the creative world.

I do have to say, I miss so many of you guys back in MN. It’s been great to see some of you online and catch up, even for only a short while. Hopefully it’ll work out to see some of you in December. Thank you all for your efforts to keep in touch. I hope you can hear how much joy I have living here though. Every day God brings something else my way to show me how He brought me here, that it wasn’t just my decision to be close to Vanessa. I do see however that God has blessed both Vanessa and I so much in our relationship. I do love her very much. She always knows how to show me she cares for me and encourages me in so many ways. I am so blessed beyond what I deserve.

Well, I do suppose that I’d better cut things off here before it gets beyond late. God bless to all!

P.S. If you haven’t checked out the photo gallery lately there are pictures that both Vanessa and I have uploaded of things we’ve done since I’ve been here. Keep a look out for photos from the big Birthday bash this Saturday. 😀

    Your Attention Please…

    (Exodus 3:1-5) So God used a burning bush to get Moses attention. What does He use today to get our attention. I’m reminded of something a pastor said recently, “can we hear God’s whisper in this loud world?”, can we? The world that we live in is definitely busier and louder than in Biblical times. It took a burning bush even then to get Moses attention. Are we ready and willing to hear the whisper of God as He speaks to us? One of my favorite songs right now is “Praise You in This Storm” and part of the chorus goes: As the thunder rolls, I barely hear your whisper through the rain, “I’m with you” That thunder is the things of this world, and…

    Student Ministries

    Going to make a quick post tonight. This is my second round of seeing my time come to an end working with a group of student guys. Crazy enough the last group of guys I had are just graduating college this year. For me, no matter what it seems so hard to not havve regrets. Wishing I had more deep conversations, spent more time hanging out, took more opportunities to serve together, and I’m sure the list could go on. What I trust and hope in was that God was able to use me exactly as He had intended. I may never know if I really had an impact in these guys’ lives, and may even doubt when I catch glimspes of their lives down…

    Gracious And Attractive Conversations

    Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. – Colossians 4:5‭-‬6 NLT As believers we are called to speak with grace and love to those that are non-believers. We cannot hold a non-believer to any calling that God has made, that is not our place.

    Seeing The Light…

    Since I’m still up, oh boy, let’s get a quick post in. Well, I’ll have to say that I’m beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve got only one project I’ll be working on this week. I’m hoping to have that finished up by weeks end. The next step will be to take a break and just be social. I had a good time tonight visiting with some friends that were in town. Darren’s Mom & step Dad live right across the street. I’m going to have to plan a trip to visit them this spring. I didn’t get a chance to play with little Dane, so there’s another reason to visit. Well, the weekend was mostly used to work…
