Waiting

Am I the only one who ever gets impatient, I'm not, cool you all know what I'm talking about then. For the last year and a half I've been unemployed for most of it, the first lay off was as 2009 was just getting started, I didn't see it coming at all but I was OK with it, I knew and still do know that God has something better for me, something that is "right up my alley" but I'm waiting to see what that is. After spending 7 months unemployed I got hired at a warehouse driving a forklift. It was fun and met some pretty cool people but alas in December the work that we were doing was done for a few months so once again I got laid off. Once again no problem, God is in control and He knows what He's doing and where I'm supposed to be. So once again back to waiting to see where that and what that is.

A month or so ago I was offered a job in Winchester which to be honest with you never set well with me. Now I didn't mind that the drive to work would be less than half of what its been for the last 15 years but I just never felt right about the whole thing. Went to orientation and still wasn't feeling at peace with it, on the way over I prayed that if this is where I was supposed to be that I'd know, that feeling never came so after lunch I told them that it wasn't for me. I felt free after that and within a week or so I was reaffirmed that I'd done the right thing by some events that happened. I still know that somewhere out there in this big old world God has a plan for me and the perfect situation, I will wait on that. Waiting, Tom Petty said it was the hardest part and I think he's right. I know that its not MY timing but GOD'S timing that is perfect and in His timing I'll be where I'm supposed to be so for now I'll just wait and know that He is in control. It gets frustrating and nerve racking sometimes and during those times the enemy likes to sneak in and try and ruin everything by making me worry and regret and well you get the picture. I won't let him steal this season of waiting, maybe its a good season to grow stronger in God's word or just grow in Him while I wait. So I'll wait, watch and listen.

Longer time between posts huh?

Yes I know its been awhile between posts, seems that the blogging newness has worn off a bit and who knows when it will kick back in again. Anyway its been almost a month and alot of things have happened like the kids spring band concert, which was Tyson's first and maybe last one. He doesn't seem to enjoy band like Taylor does so he will probably be done after school ends which is right around the corner. Where has this year gone? Got to go hang out with the Sorensons, Pinkertons, Canadys, Harris', and a few others down at Brookville Road Com. Chruch at the begining of the month to watch and support PK as he was speaking there. It was alot of fun to hang out with them again and just chill. BRCC is a nice place and nice people there as well. I'm still excited to hear what all goes on out in So. Cal. in the coming months. Speaking of PK and Pink, I hope to be able to have them with me on SRF on June 4th for one last go around before they head out, I'll let you know.

Radio has been fun, there have been a few Saturdays where I don't feel like I "have it" and there have been other ones where its like I'm totally on that day. Still have a blast over there and would like to at some point move foward in the radio business, I really think scratch that I know that I would really love that. Worship has been good the past few times I've played. Getting back into the groove with Ryan again, seems like it was just a month or so ago when he asked me to join the worship team. Got some new faces with us now, I think Devin, for those of you who don't know is the other guitarist on the weeks I'm up there, is going to be a great addition to the team. I'm fine with letting him cut loose while I hold down the rhythm which maybe then I'll cut loose a little more.

Youth has been good, we are doing the final video message this week, I took a couple weeks off of it, on Mothers Day we only had 3 jr. high students so we played games the whole time and then we decided to do that in high school as well so they would both be on the same page. I think the students liked just hanging for a week and seemed to really enjoy the games. Last week I gave my first official prepared message which was fun. It was based around Eph. 4:29 and our speech and how we speak to others. I hope each week that whatever the message is that the student or students who need to hear it listen and learn. I'm gearing up to get a little schedule done on upcoming messages which will include topics from the bible, things that kids are going through and the occasional song message.

Been passing around some sickness here at the house, I've just gotten over a cold and then Tammy and now Tyson have had some stomach virus. He is the only person I know who can throw up then start talking again without missing a beat. Ready for all of that junk to be gone and we get back to good health. Got to hang out with his class last Friday night at the 6th grad party and had fun til I found out that the virus that him and Tammy have has been going around the school, oops. So there you have in a nutshell whats been going down in my little world and hopefully the next post won't be in a month it will be sooner.
