Just a update

Let me tell you whats going on in the life of Kris Pyle.XL is in a transition period and i dont know if i should feel sad that im not going there every week or not.i do miss going but this past sunday was kinda nice just chillin and napping.i do feel that all that wont last long.i just this past week started help in the youth at west rome baptist church.well i say started ,i filled out papers and i really start tomorrow.i feel really good about this.i have a heart for letting kids know the dangers that wait for them out there.if i can help just one kid turn away from living like i was and star to follow God it will all be worth it.so pray for me.pray i can be the friend,leader,and example to these kids i need to be.
after all it has to be easier then XL kidz.to be honest i dont really miss that.shhhhh dont tell anyone.
Jarrod i know you will read this and i want you to know that you are a awesome friend,pastor,and just all out good dude.i feel lucky to be going to and belong to a church that you are a part of...YOU ROCK MAN!

OK where do i start?

i have not posted for a min and i dont even know how many people read this.i have not put a counter on it so i may just be talkin to myself but in the slim case someone runs across it i want yo know about what i been learning.
i have been having some trouble with somethings every since my mom died.i started seeing a (shrink).well to make a long story short we are sitting and doig the same ole ,how do you think and feel about everyhting?and she started writhing somethings and the board as i said them.she wrote what i needed to have and feel from those around me,and if ididnt get it or feel it what i would do to feel that void,then how that would make me feel,in short how my heart was getting empty.i would be unhappy with whatever and try to make myself feel better with whatever and it usally was something i didnt need to do and would bring me shame and add another brick in the wall between me and God.so was thinking on it the next day it hit me like a ton of bricks.i was eating a wendys burger and there it was right in my face.i was using food to fill that void.and this was not on the list the day before.but i realized it was prob about the biggest one outta all of them.i would eat when me and rach would argue or whenever i was sad about what ever.so i decided to do a fast for the rest of oct .i decided to fast from meat.and yes this is the last day of it.almost three weeks.wanna know what GOD has told me?not only have i udes meat or food al together as a crutch but i used it as a sourch of my idenity.I'm kris pyle i eat meat and act tough and i am always on my game and blah blah blah.God has shown me that i dont have to do anything but love and serve him.it dont matter if a eat meat everyday.i dont matter if people think i a tough guy or even the coolest guy.people that i want to love me are gonna love me no matter what so dont try to be everything to everyone because you will fall short everytime.be you and who you and God want you to be.just because you been doing something your entire life dont mean its the right thing to do.

BREAK THE CYCLE
be more than you have been and you can only do it in Christ

He doin it and im just here for the ride

check it out.this coming sunday im taking the XL stage for the first time alone.well not alone but you know what i mean.month or so ago my pastor Jarrod Roberts said he would be having surgery and would not be there for a few weeks.so what did i do?I WILL DO IT!yeah well he said ok.it been on my heart for a while to do this and God has opened the way for it to happen.i have just handed all this to him and im gonna see what he does with it.HE doin it i am just here for the ride.im fighting the urge to be really really nervous.it comes and goes.tryin to just stay pumped about it.this is a awesome chance to see what God can do.if i have been called do this once or to make a often thing of it,i will be happy.just doin what he tells me.God you rock.I LOVE YOU AND ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME!

pray for me.......

i am teaching for the first time from the XL stage on Oct 4th.i have a rough idea of what I'm gonna talk about but boy do i keep hoping around on somethings.i got so much i wanna cover and say but i gotta get it down to a few.anyway pray that Gods will be done in whatever happens

more to life

theirs more to life than money work and football.i know i know ,tell my boss that.how about love honor and Christ?my top three things.whats yours?i let myself slip into other things sometimes but man is it hard to yank myself back into reality.its hard but i gotta do it.glad i have a group of great people to hold on to and help me stay in line.

not much to say today but wanted to share that .i love my church family.i am finally happy feeling that i am a part of something that really matters.was lost but now i am found.was wondering around but now i belong.was hopeless but now i have hope.even if it does get dark sometimes i am never alone.

1....2....3

first of all let me say hello and sorry for taking so long of a break.alot has happened.got my own apartment.....yay and yes i love it.rachel and i are doin good.i also have taken lead of the kids ministry at XL.thats a handful trust me.i have a vision of children learning and having fun doin it.dont want to run a daycare.so we turning that whole thing around.but check out what aesome miracle happened this morning.God really blew some minds today.at the start of service our pastor Jarrod Roberts lead us in prayer that one of deacons and his wife that just had a baby would be safe .and the baby would be strong enough to be taken of breathing machine.baby was born 5 or 6 weeks early and parents was not able to hold there new born baby.at the end of service a message got sent to someone in church saying that the baby has taken off machine and was breathing on its own.HOLY GOD ain't Jesus good?i could not help but to water up a lil.God is so awesome.he is working his game out in Rome GA.our church is growing closer and everyone is helping each other and people are stepping up and being there for one another.
on another note i heard a thing on wayfm that said.....Wally...even God has to count to ten with him...made me think does God count to ten with us?i bet he does.i bet he also does the 1...2...3... thing with us.think about it,when we feel the spirit and are on fire with the Lord.we feel so great and the fire usually gets put out by our own stupid mistakes.we feeling good and mess up and God says 1.....but we still feel ok about thing so we go on for another day or two and then we screw up again and God says 2......and the fire goes down a lil more but we still feel OK and then we stay in a rut or whatever and get it twisted once more and God says ...OK that's 3...suddenly we feel alone and the fire is gone.the trick at this point is to keep praying and sooner or later the fire will come back.but if we stay in our bad attitude and stick to the easy road we just get further and further from God.he is not moving,we are.just like when our parents would count to three and then kick off in us.he still loves us but has to let us feel a lil distance so we can realize how much we need him.our parents had to discipline us and so does God but just like our parents he don't leave us or love us less.OK I'm jumping around alote.what i want to say is when we first start feeling the fire leave we gotta check ourselves and get on track before we run totally out and got to start all over again.gotta try our best to not make God get to 3

Things are getting better

everyday i battle many things.anger over those i have lost,anger over not being where i want to be in life,and not feeling like i am doing enough for this awesome God that has shown so much mercy and love to me.see a pattern?safe to say i stay upset over thing?satan tries to trip us up in times we are doing all we can for God.i really feel like i am on my way to where God wants me to be.im tryiing so hard to be a example to those around me.and if i may say so im doin a pretty good job.NOT perfect and never will be but im doin better.but sometimes when im alone satan tries to make me think just that,IM ALONE.but im not and i got to remind myself of that.im lucky that im witnessing alot of really cool things that help keep me in check.lets count the blessings.1.i have found,no God has found me a awesome woman,Rachel.she has been so good to me.even when i really dont deserve it she has been understanding and loving.2.im falling in love with the minestry called XL all over again.despite alot of negative things going on and said by a few people,it has not put my fire out for growing the kingdom of the Lord.AND IT WONT.3.realizing what God has done and changed in my life.its really been hitting me hard how much he has done for me,little ole not much at all ME!the whole world to run and over see and he takes the time to touch my life and totally remold my entire way of living.did i mention we serve a awesome,great,and loving God?where was i?oh yeah number 4.my brother has started going to church.you dont know him but trust me when i say that nothing short of the right hand of God pushed him in there.i have worried about him for so long and it bring me to tears knowing that God must be pulling and tugging on his heart for him to hand it over to the Lord.JESUS ALL MIGHTY!i just had to say that right there.i love this man so much.he has been more than a brother to me over the years.more like a father than a bro.he is my real last blood relation besides my grand mother.well the only one thats around and i get to talk to.please pray for him to hand it all over.he would make a awesome preacher.people listen when he talks and instantly had your respect when you meet him.maybe thats because if you dont resect him he usually would knock your block off your shoulders?but there is such a calmness about him now.a gentleness.God is working on him and its so obvious.
well i just wanted to tell you the kind of things i try to make my mind go to when the enemy is on we some some bull stuffing.count the blessing in your life.i have many more but i dont want to type them all at one time.


ALL GLORY TO GOD IN HEAVEN,AMEN

UPDATE

WOW...things are looking and feeling awesome.Rachel and i are as happy as we ever have been.she is truely a blessing.she is just as fired up if not more fired up about getting more involved in the ministry.I joined West Rome Baptist Church this past sunday.YEAH i know i cant believe it either.i started realizing that i was missing that worship element.XL is totally where my heart is as far as serving others but at West Rome i get uplifted.I feel that my church family just grew by eight or nine hundred people.I still have not come out of my shell there as far as singing along but i do love the music.I really feel that its the right people and place for me to grow further in my walk in Christ.

As far as the mom thing goes.Its getting a lil better.we have been in the Man vs. series at XL and this past week was Man vs. suicide.i really thought it was gonna be a hard one for me to listen to but it was ok.Jarrod spoke about it in a way that i never heard pastor speak about it before.check it out at www.xlwired.com. i again want to thank all my friends at XL and west rome for being here for me.i wanna give a extra thanks to Rachel for being here for me the whole time and also a big thanks to Jarrod Roberts,you really made sense in all you said sunday.made me feel better about it all.It may be nieve of me but i dont think she meant to kill herself.i think it was another attemped to get attention but all the same your message was awesome.Im do believe that she accepted Christ when she was in Grady the last time.Satan just never got off her back.
so thanks to all of you that have been here for me and I Love You

Lets fire it off

Im going thru somethings right now but within all this im learning.first thing is lets fire up each other.me and my family have been hit hard.my girlfriend and i are no longer togehter.family friend died.step grand father is in hospital.i am concerned about all this.BUT i cam seem to think about is what can i do to fire off my church.i mean i desire for a revolution to happen.im seeing people stand up and take charge.seeing people come close together and pray and people get saved.bad thing are happening and great things are going on also.the better our church starts to come together the harder Satan hits us.well im telling you i will not let that attack work.we will stand tall.we will find the last.we will overcome the evil forces against us.if God is for us who can be against us?look at your life and see what Satan is trying to get over on you.is he making you think bad of others that are doing better than you?he has done that to me.but i will not let him win.i will prevale and i will lift my family and church family up.we will bind together and overcome.hold me accountable.lets get off our tail and get it done. LETS FIRE IT OFF! and i mean lets lite the fire under each other.

Crazy week

check out this week.a friend of the family was dying in hospital.this was a friend that i grew up around and never liked to be honest with you.but i love the family so i put my stuff aside to be there for them.but something happened.he had been almost commatosed for like a week.no interaction,talking or anything like that.but when the family and preacher came in to pay last respects before they unplugged life support.he opened his eyes and could kinda node his head.the question on all our minds got asked by preacher man.are you right with God and know Christ?he noded plain as day YES.i could barely hold back the tears.really didnt hold them all.i was so happy for him.and i know it relieved the family tons.they ask me to be a paulbearer and while i have done that way more than i have wanted i said of course.for a moment i thought i was gonna get asked to speak.but i didnt.and that was cool because the preacher done exactly what i wanted to do.and that was tell the good news of our lord Jesus Christ.and while no one stood up and got saved i feel that there where some there that got a seed put in them that God willing will grow in time.you never know when your talking to someone that has that seed in them and just need you to water it a lil.so please if you know Jesus.....Share him with others.i learning how to do that myself and we all need to do some seed planting and watering.also keep Heather and myself in your prayers.we are going threw some thangs and are doing some couple therapy stuff.pray for me to be less of a hard headed man and her to be patient with me....i love you all and show someone some Real Jesus...

satisfaction

100%satisfaction.thats the deal we are doing at xl.pretty much how to be satisfied with your relationship.married and not married.i have to say something i learned.im real bad about thinking about what others could be doing to make things easier on there end of things and not what i could be doin.then i started to notice that im never satisfied unless i know i have done everything i could to help whatever happen happen.i think we all could be happy and content with each other if we would think about what we can do for others rather than what they can do for us.after all we are here to serve not be served.and no i dont mean a dance off.....lol...i ask for your prayers for me and our ministry.let God have all the glory for all the good things we have

Watching them grow

since heather got saved she has learned somethings.stuff i said before that she didnt get or didnt understand she is starting to get now.its awesome seeing her change.in a good way.she has been reading her bible and that used to be a battle.i never could get her to read but she wanted me to read to her.but now she is doing it on her own and im glad......and also watching ivey grow is cool.she is turning into a lil person.got a lil attitude sometimes but diddy knows how to handle that.yeah im diddy.not p diddy just diddy.....but watching them is awesome and i cant wait to see whats next.
