Family

Life is so awesome and when you add another member to your own family it is really awesome. It amazes me how awesome God is and how much He loves us. I know I don't deserve anything but our family is truly blessed with another beautiful child.

Maybe it is just me but this kid is adorable!


Well both of them are adorable!

PREPARATIONS part II

......so the time is near and do I feel totally prepared? no .... but that is just me. This weekend was great! Time to get stuff done, time to relax, and a time to worry. I think the worry part is only going to increase until we have the baby. BUT, I can not wait! I've been told that you will love the new baby just as much as the first, do I believe that? yeah, but the one I have now is such an angel. She has blessed us in so many ways and I love her so much! So the new baby will have a great sister! At least we hope...... and time will tell!

So we purchased our first computer from my brother / sister in-law. (A lap top too!) and I am really excited because now we something to take into the hospital for the delivery!

and maybe, just maybe I'll be able to post a little more! .... and maybe not with a new baby too! we'll see!

PREPARATIONS

time is on my side.... yes it is......
well I'm no Rolling Stone! but, with everything coming up...(new baby)... I feel like everything is good! and that my friends is totally weird for some reason. I feel like I should be feeling some other way than I am right now or maybe even in a panic, but I'm not. For some reason it just has not "hit me" yet.

....... to be continued!
(maybe ... and maybe not, you all know how I post!)

Changes

It seems like everything has to change at one point or another. Maybe even me posting more than once a quarter. Well I will be losing my Sunday morning teaching partner, a friend of mine is moving to Seatle, and I will be gaining a new baby! It just seems like there is a lot of stuff that is happening. Some days things seem great, and other days it just seems like things are changing too much.
Well if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans!

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!
