life

well life is very interesting isn't it...so many crazy things have happened this week...I won't go into details but man life is just crazy...i'm in sort of a state of a kindof madness of sorts cuz i want to be in so many places at once and im finally learning that people just want you to be real no matter where you are at in life and luckily i fit that most of the time. I'm so ready to move on in life and school just fuels that passion in my soul...it makes me go crazy with anger but at the same time cool off with bits of knowledge. It feeds my hunger to better myself yet causes me to starve wanting to apply it. My new position at work is confirming the fact that i have always been told i was a leader but now i am getting to use it...i wish people could just understand that life is not just something that you do to waste time but that every moment counts and every contact that you have should in some way make you better but more than that you should make them better. I write these blogs to remind myself of my dreams and aspirations in hope that i unlike many adults will achieve them. I wish people would dare to strive, to dream, to reach, to try........yet so many are happy with mediocrity. I would be dejected to know that i lived my life just like everyone else i write this to say go out and live and not just exist.....

Fasting???

Yeah well just like the last blog that i posted i heard something else weird that i had never heard before...John McArthur had some kind of question and answer time which by the way was very revealing about himself and at the same time he is a very intelligent man. But the question was posed that in Matt. fasting is mentioned along with praying and giving alms so the young man in the audience asked if fasting was to be as common as praying and fasting in our lives. McArthur went on to say that fasting is not commanded anywhere in the Bible. However, fasting is supposed to be used in a time of intense prayer for a request or to be accompanied with prayer. People in the New testament were using the amount of times that they fasted to measure their dedication to God. So as a young man that has fasted over ten times in his young life. What is fasting for you i want to encourage all of you to fast but realize that its not how many times you fast or even that you do fast but that the reason you fast is to hear from God in times of desperation.

HOW TO GROW???

This question was posed on Bott Radio Network the other day: "Can you effectively grow as a Christian without suffering??" While i was upset at this i understand that Jesus Christ Himself gained something thru the obedience of His sufferings. I heard the verse and tried to find it in the concordance but had no luck the verse talks about how Jesus gained through the obedience of his sufferings. I was shocked because the man on the air said that suffering is necessary for growth to occur. So i am enquiring number one for the verse and secondly to see what you think about the fact that you must suffer in order to grow??? Let me know thanks!!!!

Long time no talk

Well i haven't posted in a while again mostly because the love of my life was in town and spent every single waking moment that i could with her....soon so soon. Anyway i started my new supervisor position this week and i love it. I am beginning to realize just how important relationships are in life. I've heard how important they are for my entire life but now i am beginning to see and really understand the difference we can make in a person's life. I took over for a person that we will call Silent Bob why this name you ask because basically i never heard this guy talk to anyone and neither did anyone else!!! One of the employees on my belt after he had been told that Silent Bob was coming back asked who that was...but not as a joke he really didn't know who he was!!! So now anytime i help them or talk to them or in any way show interest in their work they are amazed because "Silent Bob never helped them with rollers" "Silent Bob never asks for their scans" Silent Bob never gives them advice" How crazy is that someone who is in a position of authority never made the effort to make an impact in the lives of those that he had authority over. Seems strange or maybe its the 0pposite maybe im the strange one. I'm having a great time especially cuz i received a 110% raise!!!!! Praise God!!!!! It allows me to be more relaxed and give more and so many other things that i love doing. I love my job except for the newfound paperwork but especially love the fact that i am officially involved with people more than boxes. Oh yeah i don't won't to hear Fed Ex comments especially after i saw a Fed Ex truck that rammed into the back of an 18 wheeler on Hwy. 51 on top of the other like 5 major accidents in the past 2 weeks. Just a quick update check the first blog for a question i've been pondering...its interesting to say the least. Love you guys especially my love KEB!!!
