Sunday Evening!!!

Well its been a while, I haven’t been here since Thursday, I’ve just been bombarded with so many things. Well yesterday I spent about 4 hours trying to get my utilities up and running for Monday. Monday? yeah! My wife, Diego and Myself are moving into a new place. Not too far, we’re going to be living in East Lake, apparently its part of Keys Gate. We are really excited. We are planning a house warming party sometime in October and you are invited. Just RSVP here on my blog. Here’s the catch. The party has a theme and you must dress as the theme. Ready?…. 1980′s. Yup you hear correct. Your ticket in is your replica of 1980′s. I’m jumping the gun a little, first we have to move in. If you’re schedule is open, and your body is feeling the strength of 300 we can use your help. And if you are not feeling so strong don’t worry we have light weight things to carry as well. Either way we’d totally appreciate the help. We are thinking Sunday around 6pm. For more information please see me, my wife or Diego on Sunday after service. Either the 9:00am or 10:30am. We’re there for both. Much Love. So get your 1980′s on!!!

Its all about People!!

Archibishop Romero stated “when the poor and people in need are invisible, God is invisible”. We can’t forget what this is all about. I couldn’t wait till tomorrow to blog, I had to do it tonight. We had about 22 people tonight, 4 of which committed the lives to Jesus Christ. Tonight(the cure bible study) by far goes in my book as one of the most filling nights. We spoke about sex and God’s perfect plan for us. Everyone was intrigued by the story of Joseph and how he ran out the palace naked by doing the right thing! Ultimately though to see these young people, hear their stories, their concerns and doubts. We brought it home in the end and with tears in their eyes surrendered to Christ. Forget the glamour, the titles, the recognition, this is what it is all about. There is so much need, but when we get too ego driven and selfish we lose the point. My heart is pounding like crazy. God forgive me for being selfish and driven by my own concerns. We’re here to make a difference while we can, and while there is time. Angel, Jeremy, and Pinky, you guys are the coolest dudes I’ve met. I can’t even imagine the great things God is going to do with you! These guys are gonna change the world.

goodnight

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN…

It just doesn’t seem to stop. I’m new to this season of constant rain. I’m not a huge fan of the rain. I guess more like not a fan of the gloomy overcast days. Well its not like I can day anything about it. It is, what it is. I thought Waterstone was sold out or something this morning. The cars were endless. Everyone was trying to get in, and everyone was trying to get out. Not the greatest combination when you want to get somewhere on time. The rain added to the madness, or could be blamed for the madness. So I started pondering on “rain” this morning. It is so necessary yet it carries so many other things with it that can be annoying. Some get more “rain” than others. While it seems some never get it. Our land and lawns need rain. Animals need rain, we need rain. Yet when it shows up it complicates things a little. It makes our streets slippery and dangerous, it prolongs our commutes by double maybe even triple the time, it can flood, it can destroy, it will soak you, alter your vision, but it also sets the mood for the greatest naps, movie nights, soothing sounds, and a great portrait. It also makes our palm trees taller, the grass is greener, and it filters our air a little. Doesn’t it seem God allows “rain” in our lives. Some of us get alot of it at one time, some never do, some people are always soaked. Its in season of rain that our patience is tested, our perseverance is tested, our wisdom and integrity(traffic) is tested. Our faith is tested!!! I’ve been in the rain for a while now, I have gone from “GOD! stop this! It makes no sense! Whats the point? Am I the only one? …to Lord, may your will be done, its out of my hands. Let it rain all night long if it has to. My Wife shared some awesome words with me last night, and I hope it encourages you. I’m being totally transparent with you guys as I share this. I told her, “I wonder if God will ever heal my ear?” She replied saying stop asking him to take anything away, but ask and wait patiently How will God use this to impact the world.” Rain= growth…Let it rain!!!!
