I'M BACK!!!!

1)WOW! It's been long time since I've blogged and I must say that I missed you all in the blog world. Where do I begin? Let me begin with my Cowboys. We are looking pretty good even if we have lost two more games.




2) Ok, the next event that occurred last month was one of the most important moments in my life. That event was my ordination. I never thought I would be a pastor. I guess you can't run from God's calling on your life, but I'm willing to do whatever he wants my to do.
3) I quit my job last month and it was the easy because of the extreme stress level, but hard because I met a lot of good people there, and I can truly say that I will miss them. I gave up a good paying job, and a great opportunity to answer the call that God has for my life. I am now working at Florida Christian School as a maintenance worker. It's not that most glamorous, but it is a great opportunity for me to go back to school and finish. Also, I am able to spend so much more time with my family.
4) Of course, how can I forget Christmas? Let's just say my boys were so cute. ( Read Vicky's Blog for more info.)

TIME OUT !!!!! Happy New YEAR!!!! (It just became 2008)

5) Last, but not least, my buddy Huber finally made it down to Miami and it was really awesome to see him again. He was injured in Iraq. I thank God that he had His hand on his life.
Before I go, let me just leave you with this; Happy New Year and May God Bless You and your Families
Good Night!

The Bigger They Are The Bigger They Fall!

Keep It Rolling!

It going to be a giant Test for the boys this week. Let's keep rolling.

My Hero

Two weeks ago I had the distinct honor and privilege to meet one of our nation's finest, Jeremiah Barham of the US Army. He is currently serving to protect our nation on the front lines in Northern Afghanistan. Tomorrow his two week leave is over and he will return there to continue his mission until August of 2008.

This morning at student ministry he played and sang a special song that he had written with his former band. The song talked about God's forgiveness and endless mercy. While watching him sing, a combination of emotions welled up within me and some others. Seeing him sing to our students, I feel the special calling on Jeremiah's life... I feel in my heart that Lord will do great things through this 24 year old soldier.

He has already seen and been in some very dangerous situations and has lost some of his commanders and friends. What a blessing to see a young man of God with so much courage and strength even in the midst of danger.

Please continue to keep him and those serving beside him in your prayers. Also, pray for the Barhams and the Ramos' (Jo, Carl, Joshua, Sara, Jonathan, Peter, and Megan).

Our Pumpkin family tradition

Vic and I have started a tradition with the kids of going to the pumpkin patch at the church by our house. Then, carving the pumpkin. Jon and I picked a cool Jack o' lantern off google images. I love this stuff!!

A Day With My Little Guy.

Ok, It was "United Nations Day" or something @ Josh's school on Wednesday afternoon, and I must admit it was the most fun that I've had in a long time. When I first got there, Josh was playing with his best friend, Thomas the Train. That did not last too long, because when he saw me he dropped his friend and ran as fast as he could over to me. I think that it must have been the longest hug Josh has ever given me. Josh does not hug for very long. I love my boys, and I cherish every moment that I get to spend with Jon and Josh. I thank God for my boys.

We Are Back!

Eddie

I wanted to share what my wife wrote in her blog about the loss of my friend Eddie.
Today our dear friend Eddie went to be with our Heavenly father. He was only 24 married to a wonderful woman, Danette and had his whole life set before Him. But the Lord had other plans for His life. We here on earth don't understand the loss of someone so young, but we will some day know the answer when we meet up with Eddie in Heaven.
Our hearts hurt because of his death and break for the pain the family is going through. Our peace comes from knowing that Eddie is now in Heaven with our Savior. He no longer has to fight the cancer that ravaged his body.

When my mom called me this morning to tell me that today would probably Eddie's last day, I started searching my heart and my soul for words of comfort from the scripture. I kept thinking of Psalms 23 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

It's days like these that make me want to hold and hug my children forever. It also brings me back to the moment I almost lost my husband in the car accident. I can only begin to comprehend the pain that Eddie's family is going through. Today hug your family and friends and tell them how much you love them. Make every moment count. Most importantly make sure you are ready to meet the Lord.
