Big game tonight Oil Country verses against The Little Gust of Wind, anyways I'm really praying Edmonton wins and then wins the cup later in the series. I hopefully will get to watch the whole game I haven't been able to see a whole game for sometime. Man I LOVE HOCKEY!!! I gets me pumped up so much. Now all I need to do is take that excitement I get from hockey and put it into my spiritual life. That would be sweet, to look forward to praying and reading my Bible. It would be nice to put everything aside to make sure that I have time for it like I sometimes do for hockey. Anyways overall we Christians just gots to stick together and FIGHT!!! (i dont do that enough either) So what the heck "here goes nothing" this week I'm gonna try it. Make time, and want to enjoy it. Anyways thats all but I’ll leave you with a sweet pic or maybe not that sweet but its of the baseball incident which I haven’t blogged about yet so not many know of it. Anyways if you want to know… ask me!
Well guys it’s been long enough since I’ve written. If you didn’t know I took a job with College Pro. My uniformed optimism about the job was shattered when I realized I would have no personal time to do anything. But I love it. God has really blessed me and I know he’s going to continue to bless me.
So I’m running my own business, I’m training painters, looking for new jobs everyday, doing estimates for people and painting houses. Its pretty crazy. Last week I worked some 15 hour days and I drove to Red Deer twice. I’m swamped and so I decided to take Sundays off. This is the second one and so hopefully I’ll be able to blog and read some blogs on occasion.
This job has challenged me immensely and I’ve really had to surrender a lot over to him. I’ve got one project going right now but next week I’ll have two going at once and the week after I should have 3 going at once so it’s pretty intense. Well God bless and we’ll see if we can’t keep this things updated. OH and by the way
So ya this might become a monthly thing now I'm hoping not but its looking that way. College Pro is taking up all my time which is not a bad thing. I am quite enjoying this work and so far it’s been really rewarding. I have not had much time to go out with friends but I've been able to do a few things. Brian and I have become like blood brothers I mean I see him more than I see my sisters put together so... anyways this week I’ve learnt something.
I find that when I’m busier I find time for God more. I don’t know why that is but whenever I’m busy I find more time for God. It’s like I consciously say “okay I have to make time this morning cause I won’t have time later”. Well now that I’ve been laid off I’m struggling to keep on my devo’s and pray. Anyways I remember Pastor Scott asking a question a couple of weeks ago that’s still ringing in my ears and it goes a little something like this:
Do I want Jesus to eradicate all that is no God and replace it with Him
OR
Do I want to be happy?
Now I know that’s not exactly it but it was powerful and I have to keep reminding myself that I want God to take everything ungodly in my life and fill it with something of His. I don’t just want happiness in my life I want His joy something that the world cannot offer me. Do we truly believe that we need Jesus like bread? Do we believe that we need to feed on Him like breakfast, lunch and dinner? Pastor Scott was talking from John 6:1-71 so if you want to read it I encourage you to. Jesus says this somewhere maybe in the passage I forget but we have to remember that “the words I have spoken to you are SPIRIT and they are LIFE”.
Anyways Guys Peace and have a great week… month if I don’t talk to you till then!!!
