Its around 3pm and i just got to the office for the day….shhhh…don’t tell my clients!

me and my bro in law tom went snowboarding for the better part of the morning. snowboarding is great and all, but i think one of the reasons i like it so much is i get to spend some good time with tom. its really important to have some one who is in the same place as you in life, and it helps that he love the Lord too! so the conditions were a bit iccy, but got to go to Licks for a burger on the way home!!!

tomorrow night i’m speaking at our youth group from ephesians 1 and sunday i’ll be preach at our church……

its offical, i’ll be going to pay for our tickets to NORWAY tomorrow!!!! mel and i will be flying kidsless at the end of march for 10 days to NORWAY!!! my buddy max is getting married!

well i better do some work, just finishing up some menus for a resturant.

Oh…..by the way, to find out how my day ended yesturday, hit my wife’s blog here>>

Sorry for the lack of posts lately………..In the news: loads of snow has been hitting us the past days, we actually had to dig out the front of the door to open it…..more then knee deep in the backyard!

In other news the roads are clear so I will be going snowboarding tomorrow and the conditions are A+++.

We got our Christmas tree up the other night and it really takes me back to my childhood. Dad putting the lights on the tree, my sisters and me arguing about who gets to put the angel on the top that year.

Since I’m from Texas, I found the biggest tree that would fit in our house and ended up having to trim a bit off the top. Of course the bottom two feet of tree is bare of decorations now that Joshijah and Hosanna took them and threw them down the stairs to the basement.

Joshijah keeps talking about our tree for Jesus and its really made me look at our tree a bit differant. Who says that putting a bunch of decorations on a great looking tree and lighting it up doesn’t please The Lord. I was thinking about it and I felt like God was really pleased with Joshijah’s heart, decorating a tree for His Son Jesus.

WOW….that was one crazy week. Sorry to my 2 or 3 loyal readers out there who didn’t get any updates last week.

What a puzzle life is, fitting everything together just right and not letting the less important things become most important. I remember something my dad told me once, ” whats urgant isn’t always important”.

Since I started my business a few months back i find myself thinking about that, maybe I wont get that lead on a new client, but I did promis my son we would play soccer after work….and you know i went and played soccer and there is still food on our table and a roof over our heads.

Maybe at this point we don’t own a house or have alot of the luxuries others have, but really i have everything! and i have yet to find myself in a place of real need…..always want….but never need.

I hope i never come to that place, where I’m neglecting the important because of a want, because all i stand in need of is always with out fail provided. I remember this song and its always been such a truth to me and something i stand on…..the words go “there was provision before my need’.  Its not just that its a song and i think it should be truth, but it echos scripture! And that is something that I’ll stand on til the day I die.

I’m blessed enough to be living a two minute walk from my office and can come and go as I please. But somehow I still find myself complaining about my job.I believe as fathers in our home we have the ability to change the whole mood and presents of our home.Not to leave the mammas out cause they bring the same responsibility.  I feel so challenged lately to step it up a notch at home even when we are without, being from the west I don’t think anyone reading this myself included has ever really experienced being without. Times get tight, but our needs are always met.
I gonna go ahead and let my joy over flow…it sounds corny I know, but its what I need to do. My little girl Hosanna knows what joy is and she’s not even two. I just pray God would give me that child like joy, but I’m not gonna sit around and wait for God to zap me with it. I’m gonna step out knowing the grace will be there for me to walk it out.
