Tall
Sense of humor
Can make me laugh
Funny
Spontaneous
Hard worker
Enjoys fishing
Enjoys the out doors
Family oriented
Wants kids
Has passion
Affectionate
He is a MAN!!! (and acts like one)
Has his own things that he is into
Is there for you when you need him
Honest
Trustworthy
Faithful
Loves me for me
Easy to talk to
MY BEST FRIEND

That person that I can sit and have a conversation about nothing, for hours. This is the person I am going to spend the rest of my life with.

To have those dumb conversation that I have with my other friends and he gets it.. You know he really gets me and I get him..

We have things that we do together yet we also have out separate things..

To know that in 20 years when it is us we will still be able to have a conversation about nothing..

Can sit around and joke on and with each other...

Be goofy at times and silly....

Enjoy life have fun cause you never know what will happen.....

Today

So maybe it is because I don't have a tv in front of my bed now that I am in the basement but, been listening to the music on my itunes on the computer.

I have decided NeedToBreathe is now my new favorite band need to download more of their music. Anyway it has gotten me thinking also with what I have been going through the last couple of months. On January 15 I put my last cigarette out for good I haven't picked one up since and don't plan on it either. I am very proud of myself this is something I struggled with for many years.

In the months since quiting I have drawn closer to the Lord and my family. I don't feel like this strange,stinky, black sheep any more. It amazing what can happen with PRAYER, will power, and mints.

There have been many changes in me the last few months it is not something I can put fully into words but, I am really happy where I am spiritually, mentally, and physically. That is the best way I can describe it to you.

Like I love this song 'What This World Needs' there is a part where they talk about we really just need to get out of God's way.

'People aren't confused by the Gospel they are confused by us, Jesus is the only way to God but, we are not the only way to Jesus. This world doesn't need my tie, My hoodie, my denomination, or my translation on the Bible. they just need Jesus we can be passionate about what we believe but, we can't strap ourselves to the gospel cause we're slowing it down. Jesus is going to save the world but, maybe the best thing we can do is JUST GET OUT OF THE WAY.

There are soooo many songs that I am loving right now here are a few.....
Something Beautiful - NeedToBreathe
More Time - NeedToBreathe
Love is here- tenth Avenue North
All Along - Remedy Drive
Washed By the Water - NeedtoBreathe
Until the whole world hears - Casting Crowns
Forgiven and Loved - Jimmy Needham
Forgiven- Sanctus Real
On and On - Chasen
What This World Needs - Casting Crowns

If you haven't heard even one of these google it and listen to the words you will like it also trust me they are all good songs.

I love listening to these songs they lift me and Christ up I am praising him and I feel better through out the day by listening to them....

Revival

Ok so this is late but, I just was sitting here playing games on Facebook and thought I need to update and I made notes one day on my phone I need to post that. So here it is first I will tell you we had revival in March the 21-24 with Sam Davidson. The lord really blessed my heart and I will share the notes i put in my phone one day when I was riding on the bus.

So we had revival this week at church great services loved the preaching that Bro Sam brought to us. I was blessed by so much of what he said during the last three days. I will share with you what god blessed and revealed to me. There are many things that happen in our lives and we ask 'God why did you let this happen to me?' I know he allows us to go through things because we can handle it and we learn. There are many things that have happened in my life that I could have went without having to learn from. I don't think I would be who I am today if I hadn't went through those things.

Some times we want to put a limit on God like ok God it is in your hands till____then when we get to that point we say ok I guess I will have to help you Lord. God doesn't need my help I have to stop limiting him on what he can do. He has a plan for me I just need to get out of his way and let him do his work. I know his plan is way better then whatever I have.

So I am stepping out of the way and letting God have his way in my life everyday. It is amazing to me how you change a few things in your life and you really feel the difference in your life.
