AWESOME NIGHT!

we had our last xl service of the year and God really worked threw mark floyd.he delivered a great message and the drama was off the chain.when he ask for people to stand and give there life to Jesus people started standing up.one of those people has Heather.man let me tell ya my heart just blew up with happyness.she was crying i was crying ,it just touched me that she had the courage to stand up.and also another friend of mine stood up so i had people on both sides of me taking a stand for Christ.I am so greatful to God for moving these close to me. THANK YOU GOD!YOUR AWESOME!

i was freaking out

Let me tell ya about sunday.Criag Bagwell tricked me!Not only did a agree to sing on stage but somehow i ended up reading a redneck christmas story.That was the first time i was on stage all by my self.I think i did ok.Got a few laughs as so did the songs.The singing was fun.We just had a ball because no one was counting on us being good so it eased up the stress level.Still trying to figure out why ,when they thought of someone reading a redneck story the first one they come to is me.Well i recon im the guy for the job.But anyway it was a good night.Jarrod delivered a real good message.Im starting to think they are trying to get me used to being on stage.Thats all good because i think i may be needing to do it more in the future.Hoping it gets easier because i was freaking out sunday,but i calmed down once o got up there.I used to freak out in high school when i had to read a report in front of class and there where never over a hundred people in my class.

the big reveal

Well this past sunday we had the big reveal.And also Heather and i went and rode in the toy run with the Freedom Seekers.Man was it cold?Yes it was.I am done with cycle riding for the year.We spent the intire day on a bike and while it was fun it was colder than i care to be.But then we rode out to the XL house and wacthed the big reveal and a wedding.It was really cool to see God bring people together to help others.I still think that the family cheated and went by there to see the progress.I know that most would jump threw the roof with excitment about all the cool stuff that got done for them.But maybe some can hold it back better than others.Anyways it was cool watching them get there life changed for the better and now we get to see what they do with it and let God do with it.

xl stuff

this past sat a bunch of us xl peps worked on the xl gives back house.it was pretty awesome.it was cold and rainy but we did it anyway.its only by grace that we are not sick as a dog.it was kinda moving seeing all these people coming together to help this family.and another awesome thing i learned about Heather that made me love her even more.was that she didnt want to work with all the chicks cleaning and sorting.she got out there with me,nick,matt,and wes and got muddy cutting brush down and throwing it on the fire.oh yeah leave it to some true southern church folks to make a fire burn in the rain.aint nothin some good ole deisel fuel wont burn.

Missing your target

do you feel like you have everything but still have nothing.do you got it all together but something is off?no matter how good you do you still are not happy.cover up the sad face with a pretty smile and tell everyone (oh im doing fine).every time you do the things you enjoy there is a little voice in the back of your head saying (you shouldent be doing this).worry about stuff and dont even really know what your worried about in the first place but you just dont feel good. IF YOUR NOT HITTING THE TARGET YOU SET FOR YOURSELF MAYBE YOU HAVE THE WRONG TARGET! think about what target God would have for you or even better just ask him what he wants you to do.he will let you know in time.when we start living for something other than ourselves,things seem to work out a lil better. this post was moved from my myspace blog to here.

a lil silly

i was thinking today.what if i had a timemachine?WHAT WOULD I DO?go back and keep the people from getting to Jesus.nah he would not let me.Peter tried taking up for him with his sword but Jesus said dont do that it meant to be. so would i go back and smack the fruit out of Eves hand?NAH then we would be walking around naked.i know what i would do.take Noah and his crew that was on the ark a bunck of sea doos.it had to be a bore to hang on that boat that long.im also seeing that alot of birds was perched on it seeing that it was the only thing to land on in all the world.i can see it now (i just want one minute without all these birds).here i am with the sea doos.we could also have a ostrich race around the ark. who else can i fool with?how about when homeboy(lot) got drunk and his daughters took advantage of him.i would of liked to seen his face the next morning.or when Moses was walking the people threw the red sea.could you have fished in the walls of water that was on each side?or even better jump in take a dip and jump back out.that would be pretty awesome.but maybe if you touched it it would fall?who knows? there all kinds of cool things things you could have done.oh wait a minute.your here now.have some fun.God wants you to have a little.dont live a life that people could look back on and say what if he...........live it for Jesus and they can never say that because he will do alot more with it than you ever could.this was moved from my myspace blog to here

BAMA

27-21 BAMA! yes we beat LSU.first time in a long time but we still undefeated

excited about sat

as some may know i love some Alabama football.and sat they play LSU.and that means Nick Saben is facing his former team.BAMA is ranked number 1 and LSU is 16.i hope BAMA tears them up.at least it should make for a good game of football.

Its about others now

God gave me a SERIOUS revalation in the past week.as most of you know i have a very colorful past.my main deal was weed.i loved it.it was the main joy in my life for years and years.and yes from time to time i just want to get a big fat one and blaze away.i get cravings and to be honest i have even talked myself into it a time or two but couldnt bring myself to making that ride or call to where i would need to go get it.something keeps stoping me.and what?you may ask.conviction some may say.i even said to myself(God loves me no matter what so it wont hurt anything).and that is true but theres more to it.i have asked myself and others.if i belong to God and have recieved Jesus as my lord and savior then why does satan continue to hound me and tempt me?he has been on me something serious and why?he has to know he has lost me so why does he continue to try to pull me back?it hit me like a ton of bricks just the other day .
1 corinthians 10;31-11;1
so whether you eat or drinkor whatever you do,do it all for the glory of God.do not cause anyone to stumble,whether jews,greeks,or the churchof God.even as i try to please everybody in every way.for i am not seeking my own good,but the good of many,so that they may be saved.follow my example as i follow the example ofChrist.
romans 14;12-13
therefore let us stop passing judgmenton one another .instead make up your mind and not to put a stumbling block or obstacle in your brothers way.
so what this means to me is that anything i do that would cause someone else to stumble and by that i mean cause someone to doubt the church,God ,or your testamonyis bad.me smoking a joint may not seperate me from God even though it wouldnt help us be closer.it would effect others.every place i could ho get smoke is someone that knows of my transformation.and going and doing that would prob most deff cause them to doubt my testamony and maybe even this whole Christ thing we living out.if you are saved then its not about you anymore its about Gods will and his will is to gather others for his kingdom.

TOO BUSY!

let me tell ya.Two weeks ago sunday has Iveys birthday party,then the next week was one of there family reunions,this past weekend was shot to pieces because Heather needed to help a friend with some personal things ,and this sunday is another family reunion.Between hef family ALWAYS doing something and my weekend hobbies(hunting,hot rod)i will never get to chill out.i havent got to go to XL.I am paying the price for that too let me tell ya.I heard a sermon on the radio the other day and the mans main point was that church keeps you strong.Having people to keep you on track is important.Well i understand that fully.Satan has been beating me up.Really been temping me with things i enjoyed back in the day.I am also guilty of having a bad attitude about what other christians are doing.I have the history of being really negative.I am one of those people that just say stuff without thinking sometimes.Thats good and bad.You never have to quess what im thinking but sometimes people get there feelings hurt.I am not perfect and i can tell you all the ways your not also...lol....I do think i do pretty good at keeping my cool.Well i havent killed any one so thats always good.But what i really need is to keep focused on God.When i loss focus everything suffers.but when im trying my best and striving to be closer to him things work out alot better.But dont forget what it says in Hebrews God disiplines his sons.Not to be mean but because he loves us.I wonder if thats where our parents got that its gonna hurt you more than me thing and im doing this because i love you.Well that what he is saying.He wants us to learn from our mistakes.I know this aint what i started off talking about but i just ended up here. God bless

DONT WASTE IT!

as many of you know im a lover of the hot rod.and i came up with a lil diddy.the are two kinda hot rod builders.one builds a car gets really into the details and when its done they never drive it and when they do you would think it had a rubber band in it because they wont get on it.then theres the other kind.build the engine to way surpass the rest of the car and when they get it going you would think they are tryin to tear it up.burning tires slamming gears and keepin the pedal to the floor.dont worry about getting it perfect looking.you built it for speed so go fast and show out that power.evrything else will be fixed in time to come.
same thing goes for being a christian.dont worry so much about looking perfect to the world.that will never happen anyway.just do what God built you to do and thats love him and teach others about him.he dont spend all this time putting the spirit of himself in you(like you dont spend all that time building that big block)to not show it out.he wants it to be used for what it was built for.you was built for loving and sharing him like big blocks was built for tire burning ,road ripping horse power. so lets not waste power,not horse power or the power God gives us.

just to kick it off

Lets start things off by saying God is the only way to true happiness.And the only way to get to him is by excepting his son Jesus as your lord and savior.And the way to do this is to say a prayer somewhat like this. Lord i am a sinner,i need you to come into my life ,my heart and turn me around,a know that Jesus died for my sins and was risen three days later,and that he is the only Lord and savior. It don't have to be exact but you get the point. I also want anyone that mat happen across this that you don't need to worry about what you think you need to change before you can come to God.You cant fix you.Only God can fix you.You just start the relationship because he is calling you.Have you ever felt nervous while hearing a sermon?Or how about maybe even a friend was talking to you about Jesus and you just felt a load on your shoulders?Well that is the kind of stuff i ignored for years before i realized it has God calling me to him.So you just ask for him to be with you and you shall receive him.The bible says that (anyone who calls on him shall be saved). Key word is ANYONE! If your still here then its never to late. In the words of my pastor Jarrod Roberts (GOD HAS A BETTER PLAN FOR YOU THAN YOU DO) He don't yell alot but i just want you to get the point.Well anyway i gotta go but please feel free to drop in and check out whats going on from time to time.i may post once a day or once a week.Just whenever the notion hits me.i had one on myspace but that place will destroy a pc.
