I'm Stuck!

Did you ever fell like your wheels are spinning but you ain't goin nowhere?
Thats where I find myself today.
And its not like I have big complaints about my life, I don't.
My biggest problem is spiritually.
Let me explain.
We all have levels of Faith and levels of learning.
Both of these in the last 1 1/2 years has grown, by leaps and bounds!
But Im at a point in my life where I want to go up a level and I dont know how!
What is next for me? Am I ready to take the next step up? What do I have to do to get there?
I don't know!
But as I sit here and type it pops into my head, Does God think Im ready to go up a Level?
Am I my own problem?
Do I want more than God thinks I can Handle?
Maybe I just answered my own questions!

Mountains & Valleys

The last few weeks I have been in a few conversations about being High on the Mountain or Low in the Valley, both in spiritual and personal references.
I know for myself at times I dont have the "Fire" that I think I should have in my Spiritual life, and if I really think about it, my personal life is kinda the same.
So as Im thinking about all of this, I wonder if "MY MOUNTAIN" is a bigger mountain than God's Mountain.
Heres what I mean.
On my mountain I have enough money to support my family, church, and then a little extra to put in the bank and save, I would want for nothing.
On my mountain I may want to be a Leader in the church, ministering to everyone I can.
But in reality on "GOD'S MOUNTAIN" I have enough money to support my family,church, and I have my NEEDS met.
On "GOD'S MOUNTAIN" I am a servant for my church and I clean toilets.
I guess what I'm saying is, why should I think that My mountain is Mount Everest when God has put Mount Brighton in front of me!!

My Church

Man what a great week it has been! But the week comming up?
I have always felt excepted from the first day I stepped into those church doors, but I thought it was because most of my family had already attended there. So indirectly people had known of me, I played a little softball, golf outings....
I realize now , that was not the case.
This past Sunday there were some visitors that we know and it was great to see them, I know that they were not real happy with some of the other churches they had attended, and tried to get them to come visit.
Well Christina ran into one of them Monday and she said that they felt so welcomed, the handshakes, hugs,and people talking to them, they really felt like they belong.
They said they like the fact that we are REAL, as a Church.
So are we making a difference?
I think we are, and It's great when other people see it too.
Man it's gonna be another good week!!!

How did "He" do it?

The last four month's have been an experience to say the least.
You wouldn't think that you could be tempted by such small things... But, here's a little rundown of some of the stuff that struck me and stuck.

Tired and worn out after a couple of softball games and being offered an ICE CREAM!
Hey where going to Wendy's want a FROSTY! Many times!!!
One of the hottest days of summer and hearing the sweet sound of childhood, the ICE CREAM TRUCK!
Buy one Get one free ICE CREAM sales at the grocery store.
Dad can we go to FROSTY JOEY'S!!

You should see what ---- wrote on there BLOG it's funny.
Can you help me fix my BLOG!
Yahoo 360, a new Blog thing with ads popping up everywhere.

And these are minor trivial temptations compared to what Christ had before him, how many people today could stand on the highest mountain looking down at the greatest kingdoms,
being told I can give you all of that!! Just one small thing, you have to worship ME!!
The enemy is real, he is at work Daily, he will not stop until the final day.
I know our sacrifices will reap rewards, its going to be a Great Day.
