Crazy Days after camp...

What's upi everybody, sorry I aint been around much... just aint had a lot of time on my hands in the past month!!!...

For those of you who do not know my car blew up a few weeks ago.. it was bad, I was mad.. But the Lrod provided for me. I know hold the keys to an 01 intrepid for a very reasonable price... Maybe not what my hearts desire was, but I am content... Note to all you uop and coming drivers... be prepared insurance on a car is OUTRAGEOUS!!! Welcome to life :P...

Just got back from camp a few days ago, I am wore out, but it was an awesome time...
God has used me in a way which i have never known before.. i find myself being a counselor to quite a few people since camp... It does me good to see our young people actually taking their salvation experience to heart and really trying to live for the Lord...

I start school in the next month.. ()post aug, 20th) which happens to be my birthday. I had to go in for placement testing today, aced it!! Orientation on the 20th and then I am set.. Oh the joy :P I have been asked to work at the virginia camp as well this year, so ya'll pray and maybe some doors will open for me. I would really lke to go. I'm ready fopr assembly to get hear now, i just really enjoy seeing everybody.. fellowshipping... spending WAY too much money eatin' at steak n' shake. LOL For those of you who have not seen the assembly building it looks awesome. I think everyone will enjoy it.. there's plenty of parking to. LOL hmm* maybe I should have thought about valeting in chattanooga.. then i could afford to eat at steak n' shake...j/k :D

I have a prayer request for ya'll that i'd like for you to take deathly serious, because it means alot to me...

I have found myself standing for someone, and this person has soo much tribulation bringing her down.. for a long time I steriotyped this person as a "heathen" (we've all done it" simply because of how she acted, and what I seen of her.. But the Lord has allowed me to draw close, and see who she really is.. she has a strong desire.. i just ask you to pray that the fiery darts that are being thrown her way, would fall to the wayside with the Lord's protection. and pray for me that i can be a strong force to push her though.

There are many of our young people that satan would like to take hostage, but it's time that those of us who have learned to look unto the Lord "from whence cometh our help" take a stand and put the devil right back in his place. i am tired of seeing our young people down-troddin', beatin', bruised, and defeated in their attempt to walk with the Lord... But it happens only when we don't give everything we have to offer, to help them along.. People we will be accountable for every opportunity to minister... have you taken all yours, or have you allowed the to blow by? God Help Us to truly get a desire, a burning desire.., like that fire shut-up within our bones, to see souls saved. To see another little brother or sister make it to heaven... Church, it's time to stand!!!

Deep Breath...

Allright, I'm back. Don't know how consistent my posting is gonna be, but I'm gonna put forth an honest effort. About BTI, It was AWESOME. Teachers consit of Bro. James O'Quinn, BRo. Buford Cox, Bro. Stephen Smith, Bro. Paul Horton, and Sis. Vicki Smith. The classes were awesome, allbeit sometimes hard to stay awake due to the HQ staff keeping me and gray out all night (at times) Golf, Pizza, Dairy Queen, J/K good fun. First Term classes include: Old Testament, Business, Bible Doctrine, Pastoral, and Auxillaries. Each class had much more information than I had previously expected! I do ned to say this, not to down the correspondance courses, they are great study, but they don't hold a candle to the amount of information gleaned while at BTI.
Also the sermons and devotions were awesome. The theme for devotion was (I'm not gonna quote this right, sis. Connie forgive me) "Fire in the pulpit, no frost in the pew" But they were a true blessing. The messages given, the Spirit of God that dwelt in that place meant only one thing... the people of God had God's attention!
We had a few evening services as well, and the messages we're awesome, if any of you have heard Bro. Ammons preach (more like expound) you know what I'm telling you. He he, I got four pages!!!of notes from his message, and not double and triple spaced either :P
I'm sure grayson has some audio of the messages.

I will say one more thing before I sign out.....
If you have not been to BTI, you are missing out on ane of the GREATEST blessings I have yet to recieve. Next year when I go, (I'm making the proclamation, the Lord will have to make a way) I wanna see you there!!!

So shoot me...

I know it's been a LONG while, but I'm coming back, slowly getting things back in order.
JUst got back from BTI, getting stuff ready to start school, new job prospect, all kinds of stuff goin' on, but I promise. Coming this week.... testimonies, praises, whatever else i can think of concerning BTI...It is awesome!!! but I gots to get haulin' this moment. We'll Holla Take Care, God Bless..and and don't forget this, PRAY

It'd been quite awhile...

...but I've been extremely busy here lately, and to be honest with you, just didn't care to post when i actually had time. I've been in somewhat of a shaking time here lately, a good shake, but shaky nonetheless. I've learnt a few things over the past few weeks, endured a little hardship, had some really thought and prayer provoking questions to be asked of me. I'm at a cross roads in more than one aspect in my life. I have stopped to look at situations that i myself have come through, and places were a lot of young people my age are. I praise God, when I think about where I might be, had it not been for His hand upon my life. I look at our young people today, and I am heart-broken at where their hearts lie, my heart cries out in prayer that God redeem their souls, but in the end. It all comes down to who has the Will...to truly live for God. I just pray that, with the Lord's help, I remain "in the way", seeking "the old paths" and walking therein.

I need prayer...

hey, hope all is well for the other bloggers (staring to wonder if anyone still reads this thing). I've had a pretty fast-paced week. since wednesday (the last time i've posted) I've been to hazlehurst, preached at lakeland sunday evening, Thomasville monday had a blast came home and had to work, tuesday up at 6 gone to thomasville after seven had to come back home and work/help managed the store it was well after 1 A.M when I went to sleep, wednesday night hadf normal service...here's coming the prayer request. Thursday, from the moment I wake up my back was stiff, it wasn't BAD but it hurt. Accomplished all objections for the day, back gradually getting worse, left for Camp Branch around four, by the time I got out of the car at 5:30 in manor, I was hurtin'. And then I was dumb, I went and played basketball and that made it a whole lot worse. At around 6:30 my sweet shay gave me some IBuprofen, at 8:30 it still hadn't kicked any pain away. They (sis. Cox, Bro. Cox and a couple others) annointed and prayed for me, and I really did feel better, until got home. Last night had to have been the worst night of sleep I have ever had. It has been hurtin' and still is today. So, ya'll remember me in prayer, I don't like to take meds, and I definately don't wanna go to a doctor, so right now I'm just gonna hold on to the anchor that holds, and trust he'll take care of me. I feel, and it was confirmed, as though I have been placed in the midst of a battle. But, all I know to do is simply depend upon Jehovah Jireh the Lord God my provider, for his grace is sufficient for me. God Bless you is my prayer, we'll holla

I love Hunting :D...

I know it's been a little while since I've posted, but yet again you'll get over, or start leavin' more comments. But anyway who cares? :P I have been having an awesome time these past couple of days, things are finally beginning to work out for me with the whole job situation. Not to mention the Lord been blessing me, I've just felt good. However, I do know one really great reason why I've been feeling so good, my pookie-bear. Here's the dish, went hunting with Bro. Billy and family yesterday morning. I have never run dogs, but man it was fun!! Although I missed one, and Bro. Billy did as well, I won't go into that :P, I had an awesome time. After huntin', stayed back at there home for a little lunch and a good movie, barnyard is awesome :P. I've got to say that was the best part of my day, the quality time spent with my sweetheart. Once again I say, I am one happy feller. But, all good things must come to an end, I had to leave for church, and they were getting ready for service at camp branch. However, I recieved a really good "going away" gesture. :P *I;m gonna leave on that note, God Bless everybody, take care, We'll Holla!!

happy, and yet sad...

howdy all.
I know I haven't blogged in awhile, but you'll get over it :P. I'm just gonna explain my title and go away, again you'll get over it. The staement "I'll be home fo chirstmas" is all me right now. My folks left yesterday morning for alabama, I had to stay back this year... first time ever. It's driving me made, the "high, lonesome sound" is filling up my head. and, to top it off I have to go in to work on Christams day!!! But I do get to see my sweetheart, and all her family, on christmas day as well, so I am overjoyed about that. Right now I've got a fire blazing, a glass of chocolate milk, and I'm talking to my baby, so we'll holla!

"I need a real job..."

Howdy howdy, I know it's been awhile but ya'll'll get over it. But anyway lets get to the meat of this so I can get back to doing important things. The title of this blog is what it is because,... My job stinks. I have few hours, therefore, few dollars. I already don't make anything anyway. i need a new car, I'd like to start looking into to moving out, a farm would be nice. But I kinda don't know how to go about buying a $300,000 farm, with no money and no credit. Lif'e as an eighteen year old male. stinks. But, I got to say life is good, because with all that I am still happy. I have someone who makes me happy, ":)" and the man with the plan knows what he's doing. i just pray that some doors start opening. But, yeah, I'm happy. Enjoying the Lord and his goodness. Peace out ya'll :P

What a week...

Howdy all my blogger friends, figured I'd update my blog. I have had a sort of a roller coaster kinda week. Had some good news about a possible promotion at work, and began looking a little closer at a new vehicle. Well, found a nice '01 GMC yukon for around $11,500 , but found out today that it had 140k miles on it, yeah, 'fraid not :P. But I did find a toyota 4runner for 10,500 so things may be looking a little better. I have had an extremely busy time as well, I have service at my church wednesday, obligations on thursday, Work friday, Cedar Crossing on saturday evening, and Preaching in Perry on Sunday evening. So, I'll be doing alot of running this week. Be in prayer that the annointing be upon me, and safe passage. I pray God bless you all and we'l holla' :p

"vocally disabled...

I have been so sick for the past couple of days, therefore, I haven't blogging much. I haven't really done much of anything to be honest with ya. This morning I woke up and my throat is just raw, I can't hardly swallow a drink of tea. I need ya'lls prayers. I've got the energy i need to do stuff again. But my throat is bothering worse than anything else. I've taken a couple different things, but nothing even phased the sour throat, so I'm relying on the Lord to fix it, or just letting it run it's course. On a happier note, I have the opportunity before to go to a corn maze, never been to one. I was informed that I should probably watch out for stray "projectiles" coming from Bro. Billy Cox's general direction whilst at the maze. Ooh, back to a serious topic, I do ask that you pray for a situation I have found myself in. Just to give you a little insight, a friend of mine is broken hearted because his female companion has turned him away. It just so happens that this female companion was looking for a relationship with me. These words were stated by me "I will not make a move, until all is settled between you and -----" and I have yet to make a move, weeks after the incident occured. However, my friend, although he has been told otherwise, feels as though I am immediately responsible for the demise of the relationship he had. I am saddened because, of course, he is a good friend, and someone I look up to in the church, as well as, in the ministry. I don't want to lose a friend like that, but I am also not willing to give up the opportunity of a relationship with a spiritually grounded young lady. But, do pray that some how some way, feelings are mended and the situation be settled once again, I miss my friend. But, anyway, I must be going, got stuff to do and people to see. So, Godbless and goodBye for now.
