Praise report.

We got some awesome news from our friend that we helped hand out flyers around the neighborhood (check out my other site http://wholovessanta.blogspot.com March 21 entry). He said that they had 80 new families come to the easter outreach they did. Praise God! Not 80 new people, 80 new famlies. Man that's exciting to me. Service was awesome at church last night. We had a discussion of what is freedom and what is legalism. It was a good discussion. Some of the ideas that people had was very intersting, some i don't agree with but that's a different discusion. Ok, i gotta go my nephew just came into my room. He wants to play. oh man he's not giving me a lecture on have dirty my room is...lol. wow, wise words from a 4 year old. He's telling me that he has his PJ's put away and he's room is normally clean but his little brother (2yrs old) messed it up. Ok he really want's to play. He's pulling my arm. lol... later guys.

Exercises feels great!

Today was a very fun day! I had my nephews over... they are sooo cute! I love those little rascals. I'll get some good pictures of them and i'll post them. Well they was here today and they wanted me to play a game so they can watch me play. As soon as I started to play my sister came by to pick them up :( They were so bummed. Made me sad. So I gave them a huge hug and candy..hehe. What are uncles for! Right? After that I went and play some soccer at the park with some of the other guys. Man it was fun. I played with them last week but I was doing horrible. BUT today I actually pulled some of my moves off...woohoo! It felt really good to see a guy get faked out and me score. I had 3 goals! not bad for being rusty. I also increase all my reps on my work out. situps by 10, push-ups by 5, inclined push-ups by 10. I'm going to start jump roping tomorrow. I'm also eating more healthy. NO soda, candy very minimal. Eating alot of fruits and veggies. Meats a must. I'm feel really good. I love it. Not only am i physically getting healthy but spiritually. Reading God's word, praying while driving or whenever something comes to mind, watching what i watch or listen too, and what i say. Anywho it's getting late. 3:30 am to be exact. Man i gotta get a camera.

Food is awesome!

Today was fun! One of my long time friends(8 or 9 years) and his wife invited me over to their house for lunch which was awesome because I was super hungry. We had mashed potatoes, chicken, corn, and rasberry ice tea. Then for dessert we had fresh strawberries with angel food cake. Yumm. After that I went over to another friends house and relaxed there for the rest of the day. My long time friend gave me a call while he was at the DMV that afternoon and told me that I should of gone with him because there was a "hot" girl next to him that he wanted me to "hook up" with. LOL! man, he's gotta be kidding me. I told him he better not have given my number to her. He's done that to me many times. We went out to eat once and left my cell number on a waitresses tip...*shakes head* I don't understand what the hurry is? Just because he's 3 years younger then me and he's married with a kid, doesn't mean I have to start rushing things. I keep telling him patience, God has the right person for me. You would figure I would be doing the rushing..hehe. Gesss...sometimes it actually gets annoying. Anyways moving on to what I cooked for dinner. First I was going to cook some penne pasta with garlic chicken (sliced), alfredo sauce and prasley and then every thing tossed but i changed my mind. I went for the more mexican meal. I made fajita's with chicken, sauteed red bell peppers and red onions and a ton of other sides which one of was spanish rice. For dessert though i made a strawberry, kiwi, and cantaloup, mixed with strawberry whipped cream. Yummy for my tummy. I love fruit salad. Man, I love to cook. I just enjoy watching people eat my food. I love the conversations we have while we eat. I just love to cook! One of these day i want to go back and finish my culinary arts degree. Anywho we had a great time. We have a deal that if I cook the food I don't have to clean up. I love that arrangement. The other thing that i was doing today is pondering if I should by a digital camera and if so what kind. I've started doing some research on digital cameras but if any of you out there have any that you recommend please share! That might save me a ton of time! Last time i did research, which was on my projector, I spent 3 months reading reviews, looking at rating, pros and cons of DLP's and LCD's before even settling on which one I wanted to buy. Oh man it's getting really late. I need to get ready for bed. Peace out!

Raining blessing

Man, God is awesome. Then after that i get a phone call from my brother that we're going to start on another house here in about 3 weeks. Man, I couldn't hold the excitement in I had to tell my mom! She's so awesome. Then a verse came to mind. Malachi 3:10 "Bring the whole tithe into the store house, that there iwll be food in my house. Test me in this, says the Lord Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it." I just want to say thank you again Jesus for your patience with me.

Happy Easter everybody that reads this! God bless!

Sweet

Today was awesome! I woke up today feeling great. I was actually kinda surprised that I wasn't as sore as I thought I would be after working all day and exercising at night. I had some of my friends over to watch a movie and I surprised them with 6 different types of ice cream to choose from! mmm... just note to self don't mix them ever again. We have strawberry cheese cake, butterfinger and vanilla, heath candy bar, bunny tracks, cherry something forgot the whole name, and mint chocolate chip ice cream. Good times. Alrighty off to exercise, my devotions, and bed. I'll have to post some pictures soon so my blog won't be so boring.

Poor knees!

Man I'm so tired! I finally got home from work it's stinken 11:35pm! I've been working since 8:30am. LONG day...lol. Now I still have to shower, workout, read my bible, pray... and then sleep. It seems like it never ends. I NEED more hours in a day! lol. Actually just more energy to do everything. It was a great day though even with how long it was. The people that I was laying the tile for really loved the way I layed out the tile and were so excited that they bought me dinner! Awesome! God knew i was starving... I ate lunch at noon thirty (12:30 pm for those a bit slow..hehe.) and 9pm was rolling around. Stomach was eating itself. It was grawling so loud i had to make noise to cover it up. Well, it was delicous and it totally hit the spot. I'm just so wasted though... i could sleep on my feet. Okay, I'm going to finish my things for this evening and hitting the sack. I gotta get up and finish the grout work tomorrow. My poor knees.

be still

Lately one thing that is changing in my devotional life is learning to be quiet and listen to what God has to say. A lot of time, me especially, I think we tend to ask, beg, pled for things to happen in our lives and while we're talking, all God wants us to do is to be quiet, let go and listen for his answer. Like He says in Psalms 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God;" Let go of your worries, troubles, pain and let God be God. Let him do his thing. When we take the time to let him work he will make the change. If he takes care of the birds of the air and the beasts of the field how much more will God do for his children? The hard thing is letting go and that's when faith comes into play. I know God has done many miracles in my life from saving me from the jaws of death, to providing money when I had none, to healing. And yet I still tend to doubt? Why is that? what does that? Father I just want to say that I don't have the strength to make it on my own. You are my supplier, lawyer, protector, provider, and the lover of my soul. Help me to be more patient, and have the wisdom to understand what your doing. Father you are closer then a brother, when I'm down your there to lend me a helping hand. Help me to keep on, keeping on. Thank you father for parents that pray for me everyday. For christain friends that encourage me when I'm feeling low. Thank you Lord.

Sorry if it's all over the place but I'm just writing as I'm thinking. My mind tends to run in several different ways. All I want is to be close to God. I know when I'm in tone with God everything else will fall into place. Not my will but His.

Lending a helping hand

Oh man, oh man our college group went up to our state capital last week to help remodel frist assembly. We tore out a wall, riped up carpet, moved a bunch of stuff, and repainted a room. Man it was a blast to do! Oh and we walked around for about 2 hours handing out flyers to the surrounding neighborhood. You know it really felt good to help out someone get connected to a church that was doing a free event where the kids can come and get a bunch of candy. They were also doing a easter egg hunt and free food. I mean who can resist free food! lol. There were a couple of things that I didn't like. I got a blister and my foot hurt really bad from playing soccer the night before. I got the bruse to prove it. :( The awesome thing was that following morning we had a little devotional and our pastor ray asked if we had any prayer requests, so i ask for them to pray for my foot so i can work with out it hurting. Well, after they prayed it still hurt but as soon as we started working... NOTHING. NO pain. God is so good! Now for the blister, well it busted when I was hammering away on the wall. :) I know the whole group was blessed by this trip, I know I was.

wondering mind

For some reason tonight I just started to think about everything! Have you ever done that? Just started to think and continued to think about other things, just random things. I can't sleep now... im too awake and it's 3:02 am...gah! My mom started the whole thing. I was just sitting there enjoying watching 24: season 2 and she came to me and said something personal. Something dear to me. It's one of those things when you know your mom is right and you don't want to admit it so you agree so you won't argue. Anyways, she got me thinking... she was right even after thinking the whole thing through. I know this is vague, but if you have had this happen to you, you know what im talking about. Well im going to play some piano...hopefully that will take my mind off of it or atleast maybe write a song or cry... which ever comes first.

This is what i look like at 4 am :/

doodlebug got this one going...

You have to read this before reading my post. It's a really good post by a friend of mine about men. Here is the link.

You know CJ, I felt the same way about a woman. She's someone that's hard to find. That's one reason that keeps me single and searching. I run into alot of whiny girls not women. Their in their 20's and still act like their 13... oh grow up! "my mom didn't pay for my insurance or my dad didn't give me any spending money" WHAT! your 20 something get a job or a better one. I'm 24, own my own buisness (part owner), after coming to america with absolutely nothing. Yes it is hard to find someone worth giving time too. Sure i have friends but for a wife... not yet. I'm being patient. I act goofy, I'm a big kid just ask my 6 nieces and nephews, but when it comes to serious topics, im serious. I don't understand? At what point do you actually focus and say I gotta do something with my life? I have friends that have no idea what they want to do, don't have any dreams or expectations out of themselves and some don't even care. Maybe im different? Maybe im weird? Maybe I'm the loser here? Which I doubt, not to sound big headed. I do have a plan and a goal for myself. I, one day would like to open a dinner and a movie joint. Yes, you go eat a fancy dinner and walk over to the other room with your drink at hand or order another when your seated and enjoy a movie. All at the same place. I would also like to open a resturant up called Nemeti's. It will be a fine dining establishment. Yes their big dreams and hard to reach but the funny thing is, I want'ed to be my own boss too and look at me now. I'm my own boss! I thought it would take me until i was in my 40's to do that but it came to pass in only 10 years. Yes i was thinking about this stuff since i was 14. Anywho, I want to make the best I can out of my life and enjoying it with someone i love, charish, and respect would be the most satisfying thing to me. Money doesn't mean anything, possessions don't mean anything if you can't enjoy it with the one you love. And I know when the day comes I will find that woman and I will love her like no man has ever loved her. With true love, with real passion, with absolute desire for her and know that her too for me. When that day come ladies and gents, I will be complete.

feel like doo doo...

Wow, you go to bed one night feeling fine and wake up the next morning with a sore throat, feeling weak, coughing, and the worst of all with a HUGE FRECKEN HEADACHE!!! I mean seriously! come on now. Anywho i couldn't even get up for church this morning when my alarm went off. I slept til lunch was ready, took a shower and joined my family. There are good things about being sick though. I normally don't watch tv at all maybe the occasionaly emeril live or rachel ray, who i would love to date, she's a hottie...shhhh. Anywho i acctually have the chance to be a couch potatoe. SO I watch my favorite stations, food network and home and garden, and one of the shows i watch was generation renevation which gave me a bunch of good ideas for my house that i've been wanting to start drawing. They showed a couple of guys that remodeled this old house and they made it look pretty cool. I love taking something that when people look at it their totally don't care for it and then I remodel it and then they start to drool and want it. lol. Makes me feel great! Anywho with me being sick i can posibble start drawing my house. Unless i get distracted like I always do... hopefully not. Well, i better get some rest.
