Happy New Year!

2008

so what will come of 2008?? I will start my new job! I plan to continue mountain biking in February with studying a book in the bible. I will be a new uncle really soon and maybe even this year! I was asked to go to China but I'm not sure if I can go. I will be a father again! and anything else God has in store for me???

the biggest question will be...... what are your plans? I asked my small group their plans or what goal that they could set for themselves that is nearly unachievable. I wrote them down and I still need to get the rest of my groups answers, but it will be interesting to see who does what.

So good luck to you! and whatever it is that you may want to do in 2008!

Christmas

So this is Christmas! and what I have I done?

Well the job search is over and anyone waiting for a new post from me is also over! I had to wait to find the job and it took so much of my time that posting was near impossible. Anyhow, I start at The Garage of Lowell as a service writer, on Jan 2, and I am so excited about it. Mostly because like everything else that has happened in the past few years (probably nine to make an estimate), is such a God thing. And not to say that God wasn't in my life! But more of saying that I didn't realize it so much! Anyhow, the rest of the story...... Dave called me up from the Garage and didn't know the name (it wasn't Mr Johnny!) He liked my resume and found it on Michigan Works. He liked that I was detailed, had sales experience and that I had a mechanical background. He really like that I was part of childrens ministry and mens ministry at church! So when he called and saw that I was from Lowell, he asked what church I went to. For some reason he could not put the name and my face together. When he called his family, they knew "Mr. Johnny" and he said they were totally excited. We met and shared our thoughts. After much prayer, I thought I would fit the position and so did Dave.

And now I am so excited to see what the rest of God's plans are for Dave (and everyone with the Garage) and Johnny Sherpa! It's funny because when all this started, a few of my friends were telling me that God takes you down roads that you thought you would never travel. They might end up at where you wanted to go to, but it wasn't the route you would have taken.

So keep your head up! Keep your hands and feet open for God! Because the road you take, may not be the road you are looking for!

This is Christmas, the best present you will ever receive, will be your Savior!
