Video Post Postponed

Saturday, July 26, 2008 0 comments

Hey there, I had a video which I had come across on video the other day which I really wanted to share and I had wrote a post with it which I thought was good, but somehow it disappeared into the digital space. Sooo, I will try to find it and remember what I wrote so its an encourgement to you. Just in case you were wondering if I fell out into space.....Hmm, well I sorta did. The theme for VBS (Vacation Bible School) has been about Space, or in other words, "God's Love is out of this World." I've been helping as a teacher in VBS this week and today the long week has come to a close. It was truly a blessing though. I loved teaching the class, helping them learn verses and playing games with them. Chris and Nat did a great job with organizing everything and Praise the Lord there were many vistors out.

I'm going to just leave that post with ya'll today. Have a Great Weekend!

A Focus on Faithfullness

Monday, July 21, 2008 0 comments

I just had to share this devotional tidbit that I got today. In 1
Timothy 1:12 it says, "...who hath enabled me, for that he counted me
faithful, putting me into the ministry."

The people that God enables for his service (particularily the
pastoral ministry), are those that have already shown themselves
faithful. This verse really pointed out the need for me to focus on
faithfullness because that is what catches Gods attention. Let's
Focus! :)

Billions of Blessings

Sunday, July 20, 2008 0 comments

Haha, I hope that I didn't scare you by the title of this blog. :) Though I to have billions of blessings I'm just going to share with you a tidbit I got from my devotions. I like typing on my iPhone, but not a billion sentences. Come to think about it, it would take me quite awhile to do that on my laptop too :)

Okay, 2 Thessalonians says, "And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you."
Imagine the joy that must have been in Pauls heart as he wrote to the Thessalonians when he knew they would obey the Lord and would follow what he said. I'm sure my Pastor gets worn out by people who simply just don't to what he tells them from the scripture. Obviously I know that I don't follow the scripture 100% or I would be perfect like you, LOL. I want to make it a goal though that if someone in authority is pointing out a truth from the Bible I will do my absolute best to obey it. Well I got to go now, choir is coming up. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Code Crunching

Wednesday, July 16, 2008 0 comments

Tim Lytle taught a class about web design and since I have an interest in learning that kind of stuff I thought I would check it out. It was a great class, maybe I will be using it down the road for some more web projects. Yesterday evening I was praying that I would be able to get another project because I really wanted to get going on some new paid project and the Lord dropped a really fun project right on my path and I finished it over night :) . I didn't think of looking into doing graphic design because my expertise is really video editing,  but I saw this project and I was like...aww, I'm going to give it a shot, I'll make the banner for the website and give him the whole file and see if he wants it. To my excitement he accepted my bid and he gave me a couple updates and I finished in the morning. I was quite excited about that. It was a cool blessing... You can check out the graphic on his website at http://kaiwaldon.wordpress.com/ . I don't believe I've showed you the other recent web projects I've

finished recently so, here are the links....

The New Mower Man

Friday, July 11, 2008 0 comments

It's time for the wonderful position of lawn mowing to soon be passed
off to my next brother in line. I think my dad specifially planned to
have us boys separated by seven years so he has someone to always
excitedly do this job. Hudson is eight years old and Titus took Hudson
for his first try at steering the tractor wheel and using the gas.
Obviously isn't completely ready to drive yet, but he can't wait to
cut the lawn on Saturday with my Dad. While I was driving all the kids
Hudson looked out the window and saw a guy mowing his lawn, Hudson
dissapointedly exclaimed, "Thats not fair that he gets to mow his lawn
today and we can't cut ours yet"

Needless to say he is pretty excited about it. If you don't believe me
ask him about at church, I'm almost positive he talk your ear off
about it :)

So that's my blessing for today, its funny to think that I was once
that young happily excited to mow the grass :) Its great to see my
brothers get excited and do it now. Have a Great Day!

The Charitable Christian

Thursday, July 10, 2008 0 comments

I was just reading in 1 Corinthians thirteen this morning and I found it just quite amazing how in depth it is for a Christian to live Charitably... I wrote out each of the descriptions this chapter listed about Charity and (thinking like a preacher) you can basically preach a message from each point :) Just read the list below and think about them today as you respond to the people you come across. Become a Charitable Christian :)


Charity...
  • Suffereth long and is kind
  • Envieth not
  • Vaunteth not itself
  • Is not puffed up
  • Doth not behave itself unseemly
  • Seeketh not her own
  • Is not easily provoked
  • Thinketh no evil
  • Rejoiceth not in iniquity
  • Rejoiceth in the truth
  • Beareth all things
  • Believeth all things
  • Hopeth all things
  • Endureth all things
  • Never Faileth
Go out and be a blessing to someone today =D

Still Movin

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 0 comments

On Tuesday at 12 in the afternoon I rang the doorbell on a pretty house which I went to move with a friend of Isaiah who was from Poland for the Summer. A guy came to the door who looked like he just rolled out of bed and slid down the stairs. Thankfully he remembered that he did ask some movers to come to help him otherwise that would have been quite a long drive for nothing. After he realized why we were there he went to wake his girlfriend up to tell her that we were ready to move them in. Before he went upstairs though he turned around and told us to be careful opening the door on the truck so everything doesn't fall out....He wasn't joking....Basically there was no rhyme or reason for the packing, everything was just shoved in there. The girl then told me as we were unloading everything to watch out for the four glass table tops and mirrors in the middle of the track... *sigh* at least they were not broken at all. What a great place to store the glass :). It turned out to be a very nice move, no tips, but still nice people and the work wasn't too overbearing. Well, there was one piece, they decided they wanted the treadmill in the basement...so I was like, sure ofcourse were here to help. That treadmill was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo heavy, it was like solid metal :) We could barely get it over the two garage stairs I don't know how we would have got it into the basement. The conclusion was to just leave it in the garage and use their warranty to have the guys take it apart and bring it downstairs in pieces. 


The bigger blessing was that I was able to talk to Isaiah's friend and invite him to church. He said that he may just come and Isaiah told me later that they are planning on doing a Bible Study. I'm hoping that the invitation will get him to try it out. He told me he goes to a Catholic church in Poland. He's a very nice guy, please pray for him. Thanks for reading my blessing blog today! Keep looking for the blessings which God has given you and Thank the Lord for them!

Arrival back from Camp

Monday, July 7, 2008 0 comments

I'm Back, Hooray :D Camp was awesome, the message were very straightforward and I got a lot of blessings from them. Once I got back from camp though is when I saw that I had a huge amount of blessings to share. 


1. I had been praying at camp that I would be able to specifically be an influence on one or more of the guys in the cabin and be able to cause them to make a change in their life to live godly whether the situation was salvation or just a spiritual area. The Lord did answer my prayer and I was able to hear about it through another counsellor at camp.  All guys in my cabin were from another church and basically we had  a little bit of a rough time in the beginning of camp because of the many rules and they didn't know me and Nat. However, at the end of camp I was told that the guys were talking about the testimony/devotional that I shared with them the last night on the way back in the bus. I was told that its not that they don't talk about spiritual things, but its just not very often. I was ecstatic to hear that my testimony influenced them to on their own talk about spiritual matters. 

2. When I got back from Camp on Friday evening Titus my Dad and I went to help the Pasterski's move to their new home and we had a great time doing that! You can check out Abbi's blog at (http://dearabbi.blogspot.com/)

3. On Friday night we all decided to go out and see some fireworks which were for free and they turned out really nice. I love those type of deals, hehe...The Lord held off the rain just long enough so that we could watch the show and after that the rain started to really come :D


4. My family decided to go out to eat on Saturday night instead of going out to eat Sunday afternoon and the vote turned in favor of going to Pizza World. The pizza and salad was great, but the blessing was yet to come :) When we were just about to leave the owner came up to us and told us how nice we looked. lol, good business owner :) As we talked to her we shared with her our testimony tracks of what God has done in our life and she was told us a couple times that she would absolutely read them that night because she said what she saw in our family is what she wanted her two kids to turn out like. I won't go into any specifics, but please pray for this lady to call my mother to start up a Bible Study because she did seem to be seriously interested. That would be so awesome if she starts the Bible study! She was sharing how God so easily allowed her to start the business and we were like, Amen, God does definitely have a purpose for you being here. :)

Thanks for reading ya'll
Enjoy your Day!
