Why...Why Not.... Is there an answer?




Why is it that the older I get the desire to experience life intensifying? I want to love more... have deeper and closer friendships... go sky diving... I want to get married... have children... go on mission trips and bless people with the amount of knowledge and education. I look at my life and wonder why? Why do I get impatient when I know that God has amazing things in store for me and that i need to focus not on what is seen but what is unseen. Knowing that He is the planner, scheduler, match maker, career advisor, care giver, and comforter.

Saturday, was an amazing day... starting off with meeting with Alita and sharing what God is doing in my life and what lies ahead. Alita's heart is so tender and sensitive and her tears of joy and amazement of How God loves us brings us closer. then the afternoon was filled with joy, speechless conversation, love and building a deeper friendship. Driving from one beautiful view to the next breath taking view was the perfect day for me. Even though plans changed I know that it was for the best. A friendship was built with open conversation and falling in love with God through his creation. I got to see the black butte dam, the country roads and rolling hills all at sunset... pictures are to come when the photographer posts them ...He is amazing at what He does. So this leads me to WHY? WHich I am ok with and being patient until then is ok too.

Mountain Bike Riding


I just got done with a typical stroll through the park with a few of my guy friends. I truly enjoy the honor of riding with these young gents. Not only do they protect me they are always looking out for me. But thats enough about them... I really wanted to write about how beautiful Gods creation is. I mean here we are every day living our typical lives going to work, school, church... and we forget to stop and spend time with God. He doesn't want to be praised only when we are quiet and sitting, He wants us to be on fire for him and live everyday with him. I mean if you truly see our relationship as an intimate relationship, how can we build any foundation if we only give him part of our lives. I mean if you could touch God and see him or act like this spiritual relationship might mimic one we might have on earth than who wants to always be quiet and still... I dont I want to be mountain bike riding, white water rafting, taking walks, playing soccer or ballroom dancing. I want to live out life and include and make the center Jesus!
