At Work on a Sat!

Well I am at work today... been a long week! But it has also been very productive. I am listening on the radio today, and I heard the broadcast that was going on, on the 90.7 radio station.

This man called in, and he had faced a lot of trouble, and the preacher who was hosting the show told the man that he would never get over it until he got mad about it. He had to let his true feelings out, then he could get past it. What the preacher told him is that God loves him no matter what, and that God knew all of us before the Earth was even created!

Point being is that God wants to hear the truth from us, so that we can get past the things that so bother us from time to time! I plan on praying about this, and hopefully I can use this (if God wants me too!) in my spiritual development.

Anyway I must say that God is truly wonderful, though I do not understand a lot, lot of things God is still wonderful and I still am thankful for every day that he gives me!

Thank you God!

Playing the Guitar

I have for a while off/on wanted to learn how to play the guitar. I have really never made the leap to do so, though because of one thing or the other and so it has really hit me to learn.

Anyway I don't know really why I am writing about this here other than I would love to play some of the Christian music I listen too. Anyway I guess another reason why I am writing this here is because I would love to have whoever is reading this pray for me not to do anything that would take away time from God, my family, etc.

Anyway, I hope and pray that everyone is having a great day, and May God bless us All!

Work... Work... Work...

Well, looks like this is going to be one of those work. work. work. weeks.
Yesterday was a killer, and today seems like it will be just as bad, and then there is tomorrow and I also am coming in on Saturday to do some work.

But, I must say here that it is a blessing for me to have the ability to do these things, and another blessing is coming home to a wonderful family! A loving, caring, can't wait to see them this afternoon family!
Thank you God for this day, and I pray that on this day I can become a better Christian and learn to live a better life each day!

May God bless us all!

No writing everday

Well if anyone read this then you can tell I have not been writing in this every day! I have to admit that my focus as been on a lot of things. Family, job, career I should say, children, new possible web site, etc.

I need to get re-centered and I hope with the new year (and after tax return) I can slow back down and start to focus my energy.
At any rate if anyone reads this please pray for mY family and me! And I would like to give thanks to God for all things that he has given me. Through the good and bad, I thank you God for it all!

May God bless us all!

what to do

Well a few things are going on in my life. A new baby girl is on the way, current job is doing great, and now there my be a new offer on the table.

This would involve a move. A move to about 2.5 hours away from were I am. Currently, My wife and I live about 1 min. away from her family and 10 min. away from mine. It would be something that My wife has never done (Move away) and something that I did only for a few months.

Again it is only a 2.5 hour drive, but still it will not be like it is now. At first I am sure we will come up every weekend, but over time it will be mixed of them coming down and us coming up.
At any rate, nothing is for sure (well everyone knows that!) but nothing is for sure on this. Nothing may not ever come of this, but if it is were God wants me to be, and then it works out I most likely will take the offer. It will give a lot of new chances for our family, plus Amy (my wife) would be able to stay at home with the kids.

Now comes the part that is sometimes scarry, change! You see I am established at my current position, really senior on the team, still this offer is a better position and more potienal. At any rate, I pray that God guide my family and me in this and if anyone is reading this please pray for us!

May God bless us All!

problems

At work yesterday, it seems as though a co-worker was hurt by my actions. I know with all my heart that he is over reactioning and does not know any half of what he thinks he does about what happened.

I envolved a co-worker on a process I am in charge of. Reason being because the process was hitting in his 'area' were he is supose to become a Subject Matter Expert about. So I enloved him in this so he could learn more about that area. I have been here for a while now, been on the team the longest (team is only like 3 years old!) At any rate, why that is important is because I am given certain tasks to do because of how long I have been here.

Anyway, the co-worker took the meeting I guess as I had already decided everything about the area, and did not care about his feed back. At it is true, I did already decide with the rest of the team in that area about the process I am over. Not about my co-workers project which goes a whole lot deeper than the simple process for the area that I am working on. So he is pissed, and well at first I thought it was childish. (Like I am at times) And now I just want him to at least know the truth about the subject and then let him decide to be mad.

At any rate, please pray for this situation that God will give us both the strentgh to work this out for the best! Thank you God for this wonderful day!

Long weekend

I had a nice long weekend. It was truly wonderful to spend as much time as I did with my family. I know during this time of year, money it tight, until income tax time!

Hopefully we can get a lot done with it, for Emily's Bed room, and also Nataly's (that is our new baby girl's name)
Anyway if anyone is reading this please pray for my family and I as we work through our spirtuality and learn more and more how to become a better Christian family as a whole. I also want to thank you God for this wonderful day, week, and year! May God bless us all!

camping

My wife really, really wants to go camping this weekend. We have a 3 day weekend, and she wants to go on a short notice camping trip. I mean I love camping and all, but not during this weather! I want to go camping in the spring time and early summer.

When the days are long and warm. Anyway I told her I did not want to go and that got me in trouble. So I went to bed early, after she told me she loves me and then I went to sleep. (Of course I told her first!) Anyway she was very sweet this morning and so I have to think about can/do I really want to go. Of cours we can, and most likely I will give in and go... even though I just know they will not like it. To be honest I would love to do it were even the morning times feel good and you make some coffee over a fire in the morning!

Either way, God has truly blessed me with a wonderful, honest wife who loves and cares for me and our children! Thank you God!

Love

This past weekend was so wonderful. My wife and I laughed so much, I mean so much that my sides are still hurting.
God truly blessed us with a wonderful weekend. The whole time we were celebrating my birthday (which was on the 9th.) At any rate is was truly wonderful. Another thing that my wife and I talked about was really start looking for a good church to attend. Getting rid of the excuses, because when Jesus left, died on that cross he took all the excuses with him.
I know that over the Christmas holidays I battled a lot with emtional and mental issues. Just small little battles, and I have came out a better person.

Anyway all in all, I am slowly moving forward one step and a time. No longer trying to rush life, or spiritual things. Just trying to enjoy life more.

I would like to say that God has really been wonderful to my family and me. Not just in the aspects of this material world, but with good laughter, wonderful loving moments and spiritual growth.

May God bless us all!

learn, learn, & re-learn

Slowly and slowly I am starting to understand more and more that is does not matter how much I read or learn, if I do not apply it, it is meer lip service.
I hope and pray that I I can learn how to truly worship God, with my entire mind, body, soul and spirit. It is truly wonderful to go through things that make you grow. I know that I have my battles, some days are better so days worse, but in the long run of things they are all blessings! Wether they day have a tough battle or a wonderful surprise.

Today is my birthday, and just reflecting back on things for the year that pasted I think I would like to slow things down. Enough things a little more and just be thankful for what is at hand. I have had 24 wonderful blessed years on this earth and hopefully I can have many more with all my friends, family, and most of all God!

Anyway thank you all who ever you are that has prayed for me and my family. I know God loves me and wants the best for me. I also have to sometime recall that spiritual growth is a slow process. I think a lot of things that caused me pain the past few weeks were my sins, but also my erge to go forward faster then I should.

To end that you God for all the wonderful years, and the wonderful moments at hand. And thank you for what ever you have in store for the rest of my life. I know as long as you are there with me it will be wonderful!

stupid man get better

Well I am feeling better. Slowly, and Slowly I am getting back to where I need to be. It is not really like I went away, I kepy praying (not as much) but tried to everyday the past few weeks, I just stop learning about God. Man I beat myself up over that and I did not feel right.

Plus being off made me lazy, for the time that I was off. All I wanted to do was sit around and watch TV. Anyway thank you God for your understanding of such a simple man as I am. And hopefully through your guidance and love, well not hopefully I know I will become a better person and a better Christian.

I tell you it is easy to let your guard down, and then keeping letting it down, until two weeks pass by and all you have done was thought about yourself.

fighting hard

Well over the past few weeks, I have noticed a lack in discpline when it comes to given time to God every day. I have also noticed it as this happened so on top of that I beat myself up for letting it happen. I let the world get to me, and let worldy things take time that should be used for God.

If anyone reads this please pray for me, so that I can get back to given God the day that God has given me! I know that we all face battles, and this is one that I am going through. It is not really a hard time for me, when it comes to the world (money, marriage, etc.) but more an emotional, and mental battle.

I just want to thank you God for the chances you have given me and for the patience you have with this stupid man!
May God bless us all, and guide us through the good and the bad!
