Worship, reading and one crapy movie!

This week has been great, I was doing worship on the worship team at my church, and it just felt great being able to serve again. It feels like ages has gone by since I last served at church, perhaps this is because I hadn't really found a home church until now. I took a while I guess... However now I am attending a great church with some awesome people and not to mention my family goes there too...this means a lot to me. So today was the day we played at church for two services so it was one early morning for me to get out to the church's location, but the drive alone is enough to feed me spiritually if you know what I mean...
Here is a pic of what you see when coming into the town... It's beautiful...
Aside from being able to play on the worhip team this week I have read a lot. Mostly for my classes though, there isn't much time for leasure reading when I'm in school, it kinda sucks. But other than that school is going well.
I went and saw "Mr. Woodcock" a new Billy Bob Thornton movie... it was so bad that we left the movie 20 minutes in. Oh man it was terrible. That's enough said about that though... I have just realized that I don't really wanna watch crappy movies anymore... I feel like I waste my life away when I have to sit there for two hours watching a crappy movie... so from now on I guess I'll try to do a little research before just going to see any movie... At least we got our money back hahah.
Anyhoo life is good and I'm thirsty so I am off to get a drink...

Have a good week people...

Back to the grind...

Summer is over and I am going back to school. The past 14 or more months of life has flown by, since April 2006 when I finished school until now it seems unreal. It doesn't feel like that much time has passed, nor do I feel like too much has changed around me. Well thats not entirely true, good friends have returned from far places and they are an easy phone call or visit away. My brother has moved here and it has been great hanging out with him. I have had a great job with some good opportunities that have come may way and a family that supports me all along the way. I guess the biggest change I faced over the last year has been in myself. I have noticed a need in my heart for a stronger, deeper and closer relationship with God. And throughout this journey I have been taught to be less harsh on myself when I screw up, becuase God loves me and He always picks me up. He has taught me to rely on Him more then I did before, and He has helped me grow up... "play time is up" ya know, been there and now it's time to seek knowledge and wisdom from Him and learn from my classes instead of sleeping through them because I was hurt and angry and confused. But this is a new beginning a new start to be who God has called me here to be. Missions and full-time ministry... where ever He leads I will follow...

Classes will be good this year, and this relationship with God will be a great Journey forever...

Seek first His kingdom...
