Oops :p

Ok so I'm kind of bummed because I tried to be cool and make the name of my church a link to our website, and it didn't work... I'm also slightly bummed because I forgot to name my last post, oh well life goes on, maybe someday I can do Html right...
Saw the movie "To Save a Life" today with some church family. The critics were right when they said this is the death of cheesy Christian movies. It was a VERY good movie and really makes you take a step back and think "what can I do to make the world better?" It really made me think. I actually stopped on the way home tonight to give somebody a ride, (which is totally outside of my comfort zone) it's like 20 degrees outside. Even though in our society today it is kind of a risk to pull over and offer someone a ride, especially at the time that I did it, it has some kind of a fulfilling factor to it. When your jobless you have to be a little more creative in the ways that you can do favors for others, it takes some time to think what you can do. As pastor Phil said on his facebook today, I attended probably the most amazing church service I've ever had the privilege to be apart of. The Spirit of God was moving in River's Edge Fellowship Church today and man was it wonderful. Even though I'm not able to go to school this semester, God is still working in huge ways in my life. I'm so thankful for church family that are there when I need them. I can't wait to show this world the love of Christ.
To God Alone Be the Glory!!!

Roommate #3 finally showed up while i was out of town, roommate #2 and I were expecting the worst so it was a pleasant surprise that he was a lot better than our expectations. It has becoame a bit more cramped but we make do with what we have. Applied for a job at bestbuy today, as much prayer as possible would be appreciated. A little short on sleep, new roommate loves to talk at 2 am... but once again making do and enjoying myself in glorifying God the Father, loving life in doing so, beyond stoked about my calling and pursuit of that calling. The campus is beautiful. Got a free stereo from tony, have gotten lots of compliments on it... am currently known as "the room with the system" My dumb wireless router failed today so i had to take it back to target. finances are a bit tight going in between jobs but the good Lord provides everything I need. it's late, i will blog more later.
For His, and His glory alone,

Faith in Pursuing God's Will

When it comes to sharing testimonies, it seems like no one ever walks away faithless. Even the most scarred person can sit and hear someone else's story and be lifted up even if just a little. As I was sitting in the Founder's Cafe yesterday, waiting on my turkey club wrap, I had a chance to talk to a man from San Antonio, Texas. He's a Freshman at Boyce College, same level as me, but he's about the age of my dad. His wife and kids (one of which I am the same age) and the rest of his family are back in Texas, while he's 18 hours away learning and furthering his knowledge in order to pursue the call that God has placed on his life. What faith! Here I thought I was coming out of my comfort zone, and taking others at home out of theirs in my being a mere 2 hours away. I thank God for people like that man with faith enough to provide for his family while pursuing God's call and going to school at the same time, what a burden, but what a blessing at the same time.

First few days have went well. I've found a few fellow Mac people, got a good roommate, I was supposed to have two so this was a plus only having one. All my classes are in the same building as my dorm which is smaller than my middleschool. It's a bit of a culture shock in it's size, but a good culture shock. It's also really weird, shouldn't be but is, in the fact that we pray before and sometimes after class, and the only thing being learned in the class room is the Bible, as opposed to the Bible being shunned in every aspect of secular school. God is doing a great work among us at SBTS (the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) as we are continuously preparing for the next great commission. If anyone wants to send me old fashioned mail, my address here is
