It's been awhile

It has been awhile since I have blogged...so I kind of feel like I have been being a slacker. Which is most oftenly true. I tend to leave things until the last minute or forget about things I should remember. But I think everyone does that from time to time.

Anyways....

I have been struggling with giving God control lately...well actually it has always been an issue with me...but lately I have come to notice it more. I like to be in charge of the things I do. I always want to be the fixer of situations...gotta have my way. But recently, I have been trying to do less of it. It isn't so easy...especially if you have been doing it for like 26 years. Listening for God and being quiet...letting him move me like the wind gently moving a feather through the sky. Geez...it is tough though. There are some things in life that I want to happen and I want them right now...but I am learning to be still. My friend HMB can attest to the fact this is an issue with me...or my friend Nick....or Eric....or just about anyone who knows me well.

It becomes ever so evident in things like phone calls. I give my friends like ummm....maybe an hour to call me back and then I bug the crap out of them by calling and calling and calling repeatedly because they haven't called me back yet. What the heck...am I an idiot...that drives me nuts when people do it to me...so why do I do it then? What did I ever do before I had a stupid cell phone. I feel like that with God sometimes...I will pray...but if I don't get an answer right away, then I do the phone call thing. Patience is a virtue that is hard to achieve....but I know God is working on me with it.

Mission Trip

Where I am going: Koln, Germany

Time Frame: June 25th-July 3rd.

Purpose: To talk to people and build relationships, in a hope that I can discuss God's desire to have a relationship with people and maybe plant a seed for God to grow.

What I will not be doing: Passing out Jesus pamplets, digging wells, etc. etc.

What you can do: Pray for me to reach people, and raise the funds for the trip. Some of you may be getting letters asking to help me go...if you feel God telling you to help out than please let me know.

Thanks!

My Car

Ok, so I finally started my website for my car. I know it is wierd, but I am a gearhead and I really want to finish my car. So I made a website to entice sponsors. Let me to what you think if you feel compelled.

State Wrestling Team Finals

So Mason Wrestlers pulled it off...a perfect 36-0 season. The team won the State Division II Team Wrestling title. It was cool being back there after almost ten years...man I can't believe it was that long ago. It was different this time...I was a coach, not a wrestler. I really didn't do much except encourage the kids and aid them in yelling out moves to use. But they toughed it out and won. Congradulations to Mason High School Wrestling Team!

A Dan Update...

Dan's dad is getting worse, the chemo isn't working on the cancer. I have been praying like crazy and I know several of my friends are too. I am asking anyone who reads this to please pray for him and his family.
