Who Am I ?

The title of this post is Who am I ? Well I am a missionary , now I don't always act Christ like I fall short just every single person on earth,but like ever person that comes to know or already know Jesus as there Lord and savior you are from then on a missionary ,that does not mean you have to go over seas and live in jungle of Africa and preach the Gospel,that is unless God calls you to do that.But no weather you are young kid in k-12,college, single mother,or father working 2 jobs to support your family,or old or retired ,when you come to know Christ you are to go an make disciples of men and bring others to know Christ and share Christ with other and advance the Kingdom!I love The Ring Community church,I started to say my church,but it God's church!!!But,I love how they have community groups ,because its set up for your to grow with one another in Christ and have biblical discussions , and dive in to the word together.my Job is I am a missionary,and my mission field God has planted me on is everywhere I go,because if I limit it to Baton rouge,and Lama Drid ,Mexico , I am isolating Christ to Just those two areas,but I will tell you there are Three major key places God has placed me on The Ring Community church ,being in involved in community groups ,and help and growing with my fellow community group members,Parkview Youth Ministries,God placed me there not just to watch him regrow the church and the Youth ministry, but to help and grow with them,and God has place me going with the Ring Community church going to Mexico,and helping the Church in Lama Drid grow and reach that city for Christ!!So my question to you is where has God place you share your story.....

2008 has only short while left

A few months or so left of 2008,like 3 or so months and my how I wish this year would hurry up and leave.This year has not all been bad ,it had its good points.

place I miss

The Children’s Inn at the National Institutes of Health is a residential "place like home" for sick children and their families. Children come from across the country and around the world to stay together with their families in The Inn’s healing environment while receiving groundbreaking medical treatments at the NIH, the world’s leading biomedical research center. While the NIH takes care of the child’s medical needs, The Inn tends to the child’s heart, soul and spirit.I miss the kids and the staff of volunteers ,and I miss getting to visit and helping as a Volunteer when I could even though I was a patient @ the NIH ,I loved being who I am a Minister of Belonging. The kids at the Children's Inn a lot of them are battling are fighting terminal Cancer,Aid and other Disease and Disorders,and those kids and their family's come from all over the world. There is a way you can help and child and there family (http://www.childrensinn.org)

theres no umbrella

A book I am gonna get back in to reading soon is the book they like Jesus But not the Church.Please allow me to share so thoughts and views on this subject,As Christians many of us after receiving Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior think that we fall under this umbrella to cast judgment.When we excepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior,Jesus did not put this umbrella over our heads saying go forth and judge the world, no as Christians we are called to be a light to the world and not copy the worlds ways.Psalm 9:8 He will judge the world in righteousness.# Isaiah 2:4
He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.The Lord is our judge,we are call to be ambassadors of Christ,we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.Ephesians 2 Paul talks about we were once dead in our transgressions,we were once dead to sin,we had another master the serpent aka Satan , But God bought us with with a price,by coming to earth and being human and dieing on a cross ,so we are to share that good news and help open peoples eyes to see Christ and except him as their Lord and savior.

this is a place for updates

Jesus Christ has the power to...

so I have listed examples of some things Christ has done in my life, what has Christ done in yours,please share what he has done in your life.

Anger

This weekend has been super ruff on me,it started Thursday after infusion I had not eaten that day and I was just completely warn out for some reason.I slept the entire time of my infusion ,so that was one reason I didn't eat and right as we go home and pull up in the drive way we get a call Linda has a panic attack ,I love MS Linda a whole lot it did not bother me rushing out to help ,I would help anyone at the drop of a dime,but she was in a cranky mood ,and I am already tired for some reason and hungry,so I am really not in the mood to whining ,loud talking ,or just being moody in general,but this whole week she has been moody and I have just been sick of hearing the her complain and so has my mom.Today I take a nap which I need and woke up about 5:30, and some one down the street is playing their boom speakers so loud I heard the music clear as day without hearing aids and the walls in the house were vibrating ,I normally don't care about the loud music ,but it woke me up and its 9:45 and the music music is still going one,so I called the police ,because I the music was just killing my ears,my mom and I left and went to CC's to get out the house ad I was hoping by the time I got back the music would have stopped ,it didn't ,so I sm sitting here and the music is still going on and I just wanna scream or go and break their speakers which I might would do if I had a car.

upgrades are nice

Yesterday a team of us rearranged the Youth office @ parkview ,I got a new desk and new chair , and our couch got so throw pillows yippie. But, the sad part is Josh nor Meg work in the office with us ,so while the upgrade and changes are wonderful,there is some sadness under neither ,but on the other positive note Jess and I will still be eating lunch with them every week. I hope you guys will enjoy the video that is apart of this post this is a song I love ,so enjoy !!!

iphone xp

relaxing

Well now that my mom and I's close friend Ms Linda is doing so much better I can relax now and breathe easier ,for the past 2 weeks my mom and I have been sort of like baby sitting ,but we have not been keeping a baby we have been helping a friend of ours who has been in some heavy heavy stress, which mess with her fiscal and mental health.Ms Linda is Bi polar and when she gets under heavy stress like she was its hard for her to think rational ,so my mom and I have been taking care of her, and now that she is doing so much better I can rest and relax and have time sit back and sit at the coffee shop.

takeing time to update

I am happy yet kinda bumded , the reason i am happy well i got to hang out with people i am good friend with ,earlier today i got to eat lunch with my good friend MR joe from computer school, that was a nice hang out lunch. Tonight i got to see so friend that i have not seen in a couple of years ,i went and ate dinner with them at On The Boarder over by barns &noble .But, here is whats going on to get me kinda in a funk ,is Anna my ex Girl friend which kinda had a bit of issues with a Longdistance relationship,and here is why this making me laugh under neither ,she has issues with longdistance relationships ok then she turns around talking to someone that is 5 or 6 hours away,when i am 8 hours away and now she is engaged,so she asked me the other day did I want her to send a wedding invatation to me I said ok send one, but here is where it bumms me out is ,i cared for Anna and she did the same exact thing Marrie kemp that i dated for 5 years lived two doors down from, and when I moved to baker,she is like i have a problem with a long sistance relationship then she ends up dating a guy that live in my same neighbor hood in baker which was a total looser he got suspended for fight at school ,he beat a kid at school for no reason ,so ok why is this bothering me now it just that wedding invite to me its like a little slap in the face to me.have no fear johny.B is not beat down and sad , i am just kind a little hurt , have no fear this old dog has been throught a million times worse and i'm still standing I just wanted to get this off my chest and let everyone else know,so to my friends @ church I'm ok i no sad depressed,i have just had my heart just spit on by a lot of different people in my life and i get my hear spit on some more in my life time,this just makes me stronger.
