Over the past years I have had many struggles. Sometimes I feel like after I have sinned, I’m not good enough to talk to God. But really he knew I was going to sin and that is why he sent his son to die for my sins (the ones I have commited and the ones I have yet to commit.) I never really thought about sinning the way I heard Mike Donehey talk about it on a youtube video. He said when we sin all we are doing is failing to listen to what God wants us to do. We are just disobeying God. But God knew that we would be having flesh and spirit wars from the beginning. Alot of times I can not control what my flesh does. I know it is wrong but yet my flesh does it anyways. God LOVES each and every one of us you and me. He has plans for you and I that will blow your mind. All we have to do is discuss our plans with him daily and he will lead us right down his righteous path. Know matter what you are dealing with now just know that God has paid the price so you do not have to! You do not have to earn anything, all you have to do is encounter him. My prayer is that we would encounter you God as we struggle with our sin and shame. I pray that we would hide behind your cross in a world that does not like us. You are amazing and we give it all to you . Amen!
I am Back!
I Love the fall! Today was just a great day to think about Christmas and all the holidays that have yet to come. I love when I walk outside and get that winter/Christmas/Fall feeling! God is amazing! He provides when were with him and he provides when we are not with him. Lately I have been playing the pick and choose Christianity. I would say God if I do this will you do this, and God Give me this and make me happy. I feel like I have to earn my Christianity. But God says NOOOO son I earned it for you. All you have to do is seek me! I always ask God if he would make me happy. But I believe that God has me where he wants me because that is what makes him happy. He has to see if I will honor him in these times so that he can trust me with what is ahead. If you are that one person reading this blog and you feel the same way I do, I just encourage you to seek seek seek God and allow him to take control of your life. Seek what makes him happy and allow him to apply that to your life. I will write some more tomorrow for anyone who wants to read more of my thoughts!
Happy Holidays!
Sorry i havent blogged in a while, once i get back to school and have lots of time ill get back on it! Have a Merry Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!
Breaking Loose!
Today was a wonderful day! We started the day off at achurch called The Rock! The worship was amazing and the message was very good! God has a plan for that church and he is putting the people to work! I am in LOVE with God right now and I am on fire! God has given me so much to look foward to and so many oppurtunities to Love people and witness! However, sometime I live in this shell of comfort that holds me back and tells me Im gonna look stupid and I gonna scare people away. But God say to tell and share his love everywhere. After hearing that I would prob. come up with the excuse of “well I have nothing to say.” God then says I will put the words in your mouth!! I have no reason not to share the Love of God with every single person I come into contact with! His Love for mankind was shown when his own son was killed on the cross so that we could live FREE. Our God loves us so much to so but yet we (I) neglect his calling by trying to do things MY WAY! So my prayer for today is that God would give me his heart so that I can feel what he feels about people, his eyes so that I can see what he sees in people, and his mouth so that I can say exactly what he wants me to! I Love each and eeveryone of you.

Today was a great day. I woke up this morning still a little upset about how badly i played ball last night and so i thought it was gonna be a bad day. However, God changed my whole prespective. Tonight my girlfriend (Allison Brown) and my cousins Mandy and Andy Sharpe, and Matt Gibbs went to eat at this resturant in Nashville called PF Changs. It is amazing food. When we got done we decided to go to this great little resturant in downtown nashville called Jacksons to get some cookiedoe egg rolls. Well we got there and could not find a parking spot for like 10 min. When we finally did it was a tight little squeeze. We got out and this homeless man was standing there asking for a little change for food. Every single person in the car chiped in and gave this poor man something. Mandy and Andy gave him a good bit of money, I gave him a few bucks, allison gave him two coats that we have been collecting to take to a homeless sheltor, and gibbs gave the man all of the leftovers we kept from the resturant. To see the look on that mans face when we did that gave me chills. It was so amazing to see God working in all of our hearts as we came together and gave this man as much as we had. And I dont know what that mans situation was or where he was going, but I have a feeling he feels better knowing that people care for him and others. Our God is amazing and works in the craziest ways. Even though we gave that man a few little things that we had, the impact of just watching everyone give to this man set my heart of fire for God. Because they came together to help Gods children showing love to all. Thats so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Day 2
Hey everyone!
Today is a great day. All my classes were cancelled so I slept till about 12:00. We have a basketball game tonight which is gonna be awsome because it is black out night. I am just sitting here now watching a little mutemath on youtube. They are amazing and have some of the most original ideas. There drummer in unreal. Its funny how stuff like that just inspires me to pick up drum sticks and get my hand faster. Lately here I been watching videos on youtube to gain ideas to use this summer with our band (THIRST NO MORE). But those guys are just killer muscians. I have been praying lately for God to open doors for our band as well as lead us in his path and some pretty awsome oppurtunites have been rising. Im excited about this summer and all it has to offer. God is doing sweet things in my life that are hectic and confusing, but for some reason I have this peace that God has his hannd on it. But anyways im off to shoot around to get myself focused for tonight.
