things I miss/and a little brag on Jesus time

I miss the Childrens inn at NIH so much,I miss all the kids there ,to me even though I went to the Hospital for check ups at the NIH in DC it was to me a mission trip to go and be and share Jesus ,I saw Jesus in each and everyone of those volunteers the kids ,and I will forever miss going up there.I also miss the kids in Mexico and I can not wait for the Mexico mission trip,when The Ring goes down there we go to partner and help them with their out reach to there surrounding community and reach people for Christ ,I will tell you I have gotten loved on and just come fact to face with Jesus ,I have seen him in each and everyone of those kids the ladies in the kitchen at the church and just everyone i come in contact with down there,so I go down there to love on them and partner with them and help in anyway I can to see Christ grow in the church in La Madrid ,and those people when I go down there ministering to me and loving on me!!

( a little Brag on Jesus time)

In a few words I want to tell you how God has shown up in my life here and in Mexico. My dear dear Ashley and Kyle and many of my close friends at The Ring,and I could not count them all ,they all have just been loving on me and just bieng Christ like and ministering to me,and they threw me this wonderful wonderful Birthday party not last Friday, but the one before that on on the 12th . At the party there were , I know between 35 and 40 people at my Party at Zippy's ,and we all had the best time hanging out and I don't know how many of them pitched in to do this ,but they got me the coolest ipod dock ever the speakers to this thing are a right at a foot tall,but what meant the most to me was they where there at my party and I just go to hang out with people I love.Meg and I were talking the other day and she was asking me how cool it was ,all those people at Zippy's on Friday night,I told her I knew those people knew I loved them but I had know idea how much they loved me, it wasn't because of the ipod cock yes it was wonderful and i love it ,what made my heart smile is they showed up and I got to spend time with them ,and ya wanna know what else made my heart smile is Josh Causey helped me put the ipod Dock together !!

new video for advent consiracy

updates

I know its been almost a month since a posts and I have missed blogger and I missed sharing with the people that follow my blog,so I am back!!!


God is some doing d things in my life,well anything God does is good!!!He has opened my eyes more each and every day ,God gave me one of the best Birthday presents one day early that i have been wishing and praying for,and that was snow,yes in South Louisiana we had snow over 3 inches of it.God worked through my friends of mine at church Kyle and Ashley and over 35 of some really close them throwing me a birthday party,God should me in this that how much he and my brothers and sisters in Christ love me!!!God is also using Advent Conspiracy to open my eyes about Christmas even more,the Idea is to Worship fully,spend less and give more,so how do you spend less and give more,give a gift that means more like making something for that family member or spouse,or friend ,give them something that tells them how much you love them .Take that money you would have used to buy that gift as Josh said that would end up in some garage sale in the next 5 years and give the gift of living water in that person's name to go dig water wells in countries where people are dying from lack of clean water.

frustrations and a prayer for help

I know I am human and mess up continually, like every other person I fall short of the glory of God ,I get angry which I don't like ,I can be a bully,and I can also be jerk on days. Paul said in Romans 7:15
15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

my prayer

Oh Lord when will my flesh stop rebelling against you,the more I try to get closer to you the harder the fight,oh Lord be my strength,my shield and do not cast your anger upon me have mercy on me ,Oh Lord.Amen

Armor of God video

todays world

I was watching on T.V a report about kids and adults being addicted to online gaming and it is really quiet sad to see and hear ,and its also rather sad to hear and see people that do these reports on these issues getting attacked for doing these reports.Its as if the individuals that attack the reports and fellow colleagues are saying hey leave me alone don't mess with this social life I have created for my self to fill that empty void they have because they either are not payed attention to and ignored or constant comparing to others so the person find a safe zone to get away from the pressuring world around them,and isn't out Job as Christian to love on these
individuals but we get so wrapped up in our own lives.Sometimes,we isolate our own selves because its uncomfortable to go around these individuals ,because they don't look like us talk like us,and so we are in a since doing the same as the people we were called to love on isolating our selves ,I am guilty of this my self I don't wanna step out of my comfort zone a lot of times,and I often just don't feel like it sometimes because it takes time energy,or are my motives right ,am I loving on them because I want to because that is how my job,or am I using it as a good deed that i will get these extra point and say oh look at me.I should be loving on people because God created me to love and to love is to know Christ,so this is what I have to say on the issue.

Dear John

I was asked last night in the car on the way home from Community group what I do on my days off from Parkview and Cajun Clickers , yes I was asked do I just chill and watch TV, no I watch on Monday nights and Friday nights some of the stuff on TV is just not what I would care to watch for many of reasons.Now,I do have a favorite new show that I do like on Monday nights NCIS ,a couple of reasons I like the show,one is I like watching people solve crimes,two the use of computers and the Autopsy the Doctor on the team performs to help solve the crime,and I have a crush o Abby ,she is smart ,cute,and not stuck up.But,here is what I do research Viruses and put together tool disk so that on computer issues ,I will have the right tools to solve the problem and fix the pc,I am starting back with learning the questions on the A+ exam to become a computer tech now I don't wanna work for some big company,I wanna work for a church or something and fix there computer problems and keep a network up and running .I have a long road ahead of me I can do it,I just have to sit down a focus.

pray of praise

Oh Lord there is none like you,for your grace and mercy follow me all the days of my life in the grips of suffering you lend your hand and give me strength to endure it all.Oh Lord I thank you today for your strength ,grace,and mercy you rain down over me.

keeping up with the smith's

There are all these things I want,but I need to separate wants from needs,we all see these advertisements on TV,in sale papers,and in seeing what other people have .



wants...

1.a mac mac laptop

2. an ipod touch or iphone

3. a flat screen TV

4. a pair of old school chucks

The list could go on and on of wants ,but there are a whole list of needs ,don't we all have that list of want want want,and the need need gets push to the side,so that we can keep up with the smith's, the Jone's,and who ever else ...

I need

1. my eye drops for my glaucoma

2. I need to pay my light bill,my cable bill,and my rent,I am just using these as examples

I only listed two ,there are others I could list ,my want list is way bigger than my need list.Every time, I see someone with an iphone I get super jealous ,till I remember the coast per month and remember that a two year contract I am tied down to and that I can hear my mom say you want this you want that , my mom is not like oh you can't have that stuff she will tell me I wish you could have this and that.My mom doesn't just tell me that ,to get me to separate needs from wants,but also come birthday,and Christmas ,or Easter ,she is wandering what to get me ,what I would want,and what do i have already,and also the way our economy is going right now its time to pinch pennies and save.

tonight at The Ring

Josh preached more on what I call the God box sermon series , but tonight went a little further and a little deeper,the Sermon tonight wet beyond talking bout us being hidden in Christ. Tonight, was talking more on one us being called to serve in different areas, and not be like the world where your always compared ,we all serves different roles and none of those roles in God eyes are more important that the other,we live in a broken world that is constantly comparing us to one another and if we start listening to the world instead of God we will never feel good enough.The world is constantly tearing us down ,to the world we will never be good enough, their will always be somebody better,but God created us,and is saying I love you don't you see ,God does't love us because we are great athletes ,or smart and have these wonderful Jobs and all this stuff, one day all that stuff will fade away its just stuff,the God of the universe made you and I and nothing in this world could make him love us more ore less ,we are his children.

I love this time of year

Reasons I love this time of year

1. the temps at night cool off to about the upper 50s to low 60s!!

2. Halloween its nice the annual bonfire is nice and its
just a time to hang out,and not be miserable because of the heat.

things i am looking for

ok here are some thing I really need for my room and if anyone who reads my blog and is wanting just to get rid of some old bed room stuff .I desperately need a dresser,I am trying to find a platform bed because regular beds hurt my back .For the last year to year and a half I have not slept in my room ,there are many reason,my mom and i got one issue under control ,that issue was before we realized I have acid reflex and told by my doctor to just wait 30 mins after drinking or eating before going to lay down.I went to bed one night maybe about 10 to 15 mins after I had ate a snack and drank some power aid or something and woke up strangling,that was a while back , now I know what to do ok issue solved,but still even though my mom is not nervous I am still at the foot of the bed ,one because the floor is comfortable,for a while even before the strangling i slept on the couch ,but that became a hassle taking up the covers and pillows and bringing the to my room to have a cleaned off place to sit.Right now my room has book cases and a desk and a mattress on the floor and the mattress is uncomfortable just being on the floor.

Rants raves and prayer needs

The update

ok so this week I was gonna have an MRI because of the vertigo,I can't do Regular MRI's or the new open ones because unlike open cat scans the machine is not really open its just shorter .The Lady from the Radiology clinic called my mom today and was explaining because she did not want me miss lead . the reason I can not do MRI's of the brain one because they put you in this vice and most of yall know about the Back surgery and ever thing and you would have to squeeze me in,and at the angle they would have my neck it would be hard for me to breathe and on top of that the anxiety .



The Rant


Open MRI sounds good except it does not equal open as what the word used to
Describe it no here is what it looks like




ok I just really wanna find out Answers to my Vertigo episodes I get when we have the really strong high or low pressure systems in the Atmospher,I want to address a
situation and get it taken care of .I don't mean to come across negative because, I am so happy the lady called my mom to explain,But one can be miss lead be cause of out cat scans the word open means open not shorter,But this can not just miss leading to a patient ,but also to the Doctor and I am gonna defend my doctor he did not know. My Doctor hear is a regular Doctor who is Specialized in internal medicine , but he is not Neurologist .

Open Cat scan


The open Cat Scan machine,has a bigger opening and the bed you lay on is some what flatter , and because of larger opening you can put pillows behind the persons head.

Prayer needs

I am trying to find a Vertigo specialist ,please be not only praying for me find a specialist,but also that the Vertigo won't come back period. What got us all concerned is when i get the Vertigo I get the massive headaches and I smell this strong oder in my nose , you since of smell is controlled by the frontal lobe.

what to post about

I love posting just about everyday to every other day,and it feels like blahh what to put down or what should I not put down. Ok,so here is what I am just gonna toss out is this, for the past Several weeks Josh has been preaching a sermon series I like to call the God Box sermon . “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10).Christians are God’s “workmanship.” The Greek word is poiema, from which we get our word “poem.” It means “a work of art, a masterpiece.” In Christ, you receive God’s grace and become his work of art,here is the point I am trying to make we are hidden in Christ we are in Christ and Christ is in us,and after excepting him the sin pasted down from Adam and Eve was removed.We live in a broken world who needs Christ and is just broken because of sin remaining in the world.

TV shows and talk shows are pathedic these days

These days it is evident of a broken cruel world, and its obvious that script writes these days will write anything to get the public to watch the latest drama.Starting with the pig we all know as Simon cow on American Idol and now the show House.


things that are just wrong period

1. just wrong to make fun of people for their size male or female, Adult or child on tv shows.

2. as far show like American Idol just feed more into that we can never live up to the world standards ,and that if someone is better you short coming will be exposed an laughed at.

3.Big people are not just the only one ,skinny people as well the the media feeds in to its view that if you are are a man that your should be tall an have a six pack and guns bulging out your arms,just listen to all these commercials on tv and how the young ladies go crazy over us when we are what the world says perfect.

This makes it difficult for a person like me ,and trying to ignore the crys and moans of the world over these issues .The Lord sees his children that know him as perfect the way he created and blameless .

the brain

emporal lobe

This lobe controls two senses: hearing and smell. It also helps to control emotion, memory, speech and behaviour.

If a seizure affects this part of your brain:

* You may smell strange smells (such as onions being fried) and hear odd sounds that aren't really there
* You may get an odd feeling in your stomach
* Your speech may be slurred
* You may have changes in your mood and behaviour. For example, you may get déjà vu (when something feels familiar even though it hasn't happened before).So, I believe the sinuses that trigger the vertigo are agervating this part of the brain,this would explain the strange odd stong odders I smell when I get vertigo.

God is every where and in everything

God's finger prints are every where we turn ,from trees growing to the new birth of a life form, God's finger print are on us ever single day.God is al present in our deep dark hours of pain,and my question is where did you see God today,I can tell that I saw him and felt him today in the mist of my battle with Vertigo episode today. I know God was present because this episode of vertigo was not near as bad as the others I have dealt with ,I my have felt a little stomach ache,but I didn't throw up that was good and my head ache subsided quickly.So,where has God shown up today or this week or this month?I hope and pray that God has made his presents known to you,but I also wanna tell you just the single breath you take is a example of Christ being in you and present ,examine you day live a life of thanksgiving each and everyday. Also ,each day ask God to help not only be able to recognize his presents in you life,but ask him to help you be a better ambassador for him that you life would reflect Christ.
