The Sound of Revival

I prayed. I prayed hard. I prayed often. Before I went out and voted yesterday I prayed to my God, I prayed without ceasing yesterday. I did not pray that Romney would win. I did not pray that Obama would lose. I prayed hard and honestly to my Lord that the right man for the job would win the election. I prayed for God's chosen man to lead this country. I really hope that most of you did the same thing. I went out. I voted. I gave it to God. I did my part.

I know a lot of people are sick of political rants and hearing of anything political; and quite frankly I fall into that category too. However, with that being said, I have a very heavy heart this morning. I sat down in pure silence this morning with my Bible app loaded on my phone. Just me, my God, and my Bible. God opened my eyes. He opened my eyes and now I have a heavy heart. Not so much with the election results as it is a heavy heart to how my friends have responded to the outcome of the election.

Did you vote? Did you pray? Then what do you have to worry about? Are you questioning God? Shame on you.

With most of my friends on facebook claiming to be follower of Jesus, I am very disappointed in how most of you responded to our Leader for the next 4 years. I am not just saying all the people who are mad about Romney losing. I am also talking to those who are Obama supporters. I don't think we have responded to God's chosen man correctly. I have seen some very explicit posts to "Oh God have mercy on our Country". So what you are saying is that if Romney would have won, we wouldn't need God's mercy? and then there are those that voted for Obama what are in your face cocky about it. They are both terrible responses.

Here is a secret for you guys; God kind of knows what He's doing. God has been in this business for a very long time. God always has a plan. God is never surprised. I am not going to sit here and pound you with Scripture verses. The average American has 3-4 Bibles, so why don't you go over to that shelf, nightstand, table or wherever your Bible may be "sleeping", blow one of them off, and do some of your own studying.

Open your eyes America, clearly your President is not a man of God. "Lucky" for us God has a history of using men just like him. I have full peace about President Barack Obama being our Leader for the next 4 years. I have total faith in God.

I have some news for you guys. Our job isn't over yet. We can still make a difference. We may not be over-joyed with some or all of the political figures in our lives, but we cannot let that stop us from doing our job. If we want "Change" it does not start in "The House" it starts in our house. If we want to lower our debt in this country, why not start with those credit cards you have? We need American restoration... an American Revival. This does not come from 1 man sitting in our Nations capital. If your hope is in 1 earthly man, you have no hope at all. Open your bible, pray hard, teach your kids biblical morals. Quit pointing fingers and blaming everyone else, do something about it. Change isn't going to happen with you sitting on the couch and crying over the results of an earthly political election. This is the hand we were dealt, we have to play with it. The good news is that these cards are handpicked by our Creator.

There is still hope. Keep praying. Quit worrying. Do Something About it...

Remember... God is not Dead...

Moving Up In The World

Watching you learn...
To say Dadda, to say Mamma
To Roll, Crawl, and now to slowly Walk.

How time flies...
Where did the time go? Just 366 days ago from this time I was not holding my baby boy. You weren't kidding when you said to cherish every moment because it will be gone in the blink of an eye.

I love you...
Why is it so hard for some fathers to tell their children, especially their sons, that they love them... I swore I would never be "that guy". I am proud to say, that I am not "that guy". Oh Monkey, I do love you!

So many fleeting thoughts...
There is not enough seconds in the hour, hours in the day, days in the year, years in my lifetime, lifetimes in God's breath to write down my thoughts throughout the past year.

The cute things you do...
Oh My Monkey, where's your turtle face?

Yes, I might miss you lying on my chest at night...sleeping. I will miss holding you and rocking you in my arms.  However, I thank God everyday for your development, health, and growth. Your mommy and I would not trade that in for a second.

Love,
Daddy

Plethora

Yeah, yeah, yeah, shame on me for not posting in so long. Well there is a lot that has happened in the past weeks.
My friends returned from Africa and everything is well. They did well, they finished the work they went out to do, and they all really feel like God used them the best way possible to complete what He wanted them to do. It was so good to see all of them, it felt like forever since I had seen them. It was kind of rough talking to each and every one of them at the party because there were so many other people that wanted to do the exact same thing. So, Bee and I decided to have Mr. I over soon. Mr. I came over and we had a blast. He stayed for hours, had a ton of fun, home made pizza, chicken wing dip, and then he had to leave. It was like we hadn't missed a beat. Ahhh, Life is good!

My infection was clearing up and then it started getting bad again. I was on some drugs that really did not make me feel very good. In fact... it made me feel pretty darn lousy! I thank God everyday for Bee. Without her I don't know how I would get through some of the stuff I had to get through. Well, my toe is healing up again very well, I just hope the ingrown toenail doesn't ever come back again.

Ok, now for my job. God is really good and he answers prayers perfectly even if its not the way you originally had wanted it. I was awarded 2nd shift supervisor at the factory I currently worked at. I finished up training last Thursday, and Friday turned out to be a wreck. Ha, nothing went well Friday evening. It was all good though, in the end it was in God's hands.

Remember God knows the desires of your heart, even if you are unsure about it.

A Little Perspective (You Can Win Money)!

Ok, so you know how I had the goal to do a decent art project a week? Well, that isn't going so well. I have an infection in my toe and that has put a damper on my motivation as of lately. I am on drugs, which is helping the infections but not my mood or motivation. While my art has been suffering I have found a new site called Prawspektiv. This site is giving me the opportunity to create more designs and make more money. So, if you want to help me out. Then you can sign up on http://www.prawspektiv.com and then vote for my design. Not only is that helping me out, but whenever you vote you are put into a drawing of $500.00 CAD which is about $515.00 USD. So even though we all know you arn't artistic... you can still win a lot of money on this site. So it's a win win win! So I am asking you to vote for me, and if you NEED to vote for others you can do that too! If you vote for my design and it prints then maybe you can grab a tee too. :) Ok, I regress...
