It's A New Season

So Pastor Jeff is leaving to go to another church. I think its great that he is following the call of God on his life.
Nick is really really sad and I am not necessarily sad that Jeff is leaving but I am sad that Nick is sad that Jeff is leaving. I know everything happens for a reason but sometimes 13 year olds don't understand that everything works out for God's good. I did get a chance to give Nick some examples about how good things have happened out of change and tried to explain how every season is a new season and a chance to grow.
I do believe that Nick is an anointed young man of God and he is gonna do great things for God. I hope and pray that this is an opportunity for Nick to grow.

Finally Got Internet

So I guess there was a tornado in our area on Thursday afternoon and all the places around us have no power (and neither did we) so after our power went back on.. no internet. and now its back.. so I can check my mail again WEEEE.

Here I come!

In about 19 hours I will be departing from Seattle heading for Chicagoland. It's a bitter sweet feeling. I love my family so much and I do not want to leave them but I cannot wait to get back to school and to get back to my life. I know I will cry and that I am sad but I also know that better things await for me in the future.

Kid's Change EVERYTHING

Here's a funny joke that really shows how kid's really do change everything.

__________________________________________________________
One day a little boy was sitting on a park bench reading his bible and praising God "Hallelujah, Wow God, you are so awesome." A passerby heard the child and sat down next to him,

"Why are you praising God for, young man?"

"Because," said the boy pointing at the reference in his bible, "God parted the Red Sea so all the Israelites could cross to the other side!"

"Well," the man snorted, "that was a long time ago. Evolution proves that the Red Sea would only have been 6inches at that time.” The man stood up to leave and the boy began praising God again.

"Wow God, you are sow awesome! Hallelujah!"

Upon hearing this, the man turned around and said, "Why are you praising God now?"

The little boy looked at his bible, then to the man.... "God drowned a whole Egyptian army in 6 inches of water!!!"
