YA!
Oh it's been a while since I last updated, but I have so much to say it will be worth it. As you all probably know now God has graced me with a wonderful girlfriend, Bethany. She is wonderful inside and out and whenever I am with her or just talking to her on the phone it makes me happy. We have so much in common it is crazy! In a very good way of course. I got to spend time with her this weekend and meet her Dad for the first time. I was a little nervous, but he likes me and that is good. I thank God for that. It was fun spending the weekend with her. It always is fun spending time with her. We watched movies, went to the park, I worked out with her and her Dad which gave me a chance to show off hehe. Ah we were all showing off. Her Dad and I showed her how much we could bench 200 pounds and she showed us her yoga, and she wanted me to try it. And well Teddy bears are'nt exactly yoga material, so it was quite interesting. Her Dad got it on video, and it's quite funny. I'll get to see her again this coming weekend ya! I want her to come to my friend and manager Nick's wedding on the 19th, because there is going to be dancing and stuff after the ceremony and I want to dance with her. I think it would be fun! And to put it in a phrase that her and I like, "Having fun is fun"! Ok, even though I want to go on more about her, I must tell you guys the other things that the Lord has blessed me with. On mondays now instead of going to BSF I have been able to land a job as a new volunteer leader for young life through Nick. He is a young life leader for Kennewick High, so I work with him over there and go to the clubs on monday. It is an awesome outreach program and I love being a part of it. I can see the Lord's work in it. I am glad to be a part of it. God has blessed my family and I financially, if you want details on that just ask. God blessed me in working on a sermon of his great and undying love which I would love to share at Asylum. Which means I found material on it so Ian you don't have to come over and hit me in the head with a koosh bat lol. The Lord has increased my faith much more, which makes me happier and more peaceful about the future. God has revealed much of his love to me at winter retreat and now everyday after that, praise God! God is awesome! God is helping James in his walk by helping him through his doubts and by making it harder for James to deny Him. Praise God, oh emanuel!!!! Oh I just remembered something very important, very very important! I don't know how many of you remember Jennifer Noland, well her brother Ben is going to CBC and working. And he does not have very many friends to hang out with. I was talking to Mrs. Noland about him. She said that she has been trying to find a Christian group that he could come to and have friends to hang out with on the weekend. A study that is not too academic, but with lots of fellowship. I told her about Asylum. I also forgot what her first name was so I can't find her in the phone book and I wanted to call her and see if Ben would like to come to Asylum. So of you guys could help in anyway to find out what her number is and get it to me asap and I mean asap as in PDQ! That would be awesome. I believe she told me that he is not exactly Christian but believes God exists. I think all of us at Asylum can help him. We could be a blessing. I want to help him out so much, this is a great opportunity to reach out to and win another soul for Christ. The theme that was at my last retreat was N.O.W No Opportunity Wasted! Lets not waste this one! God bless you guys. I love each and everyone of you so very much. I always pray for Asylum, that the Lord would bless it and I know for a fact that he will. Hallelujah! I am always praying for you guys too, you are never out of my prayers. Your relationships with the Lord are always on my heart! Lets win this one for Christ! I still want to go to creation west 2005! Those of you who want to go we should discuss it and pray about it. I am going to end this now, but not until I put out my prayer requests. Pray that the Lord blesses the relationship that Beth and I have, that his presence and guidance always be in our relationship. Pray that he always will be the center of our relationship, because I know that it was the Lord that brought us together, and for that I thank him, she is wonderful. Thank you God! Pray that the Lord blesses me with a job that I can get guaranteed 20 hours a week and medical, so that I'll have a good job whilst I go to college. Pray the Lord blesses me in my plans for going to CBC in the Fall. Pray also for my family and my involvement in Young life. Thank all of you so much and God Bless you all! Whatever prayer requests you have you can give them to me and I would be happy to lift them up to the Lord for you. If you ever need to talk, call anytime, and I mean anytime! I'll be here to talk with you or pray with you about whatever's ailing ya. God Bless and Goodnight.
