Coffee, alabama, absolutely beautiful weather, and a fresh connection with Christ.
Life is good.
Life really is what you make it.
I believe love can be like in the movies.
I believe you can fall deeply head over heads with someone and stay that way forever.
You can enjoy your favorite things with this person and they will enjoy them.
such as.
Going to the mattress store and laying on all of them, to later make the bad joke of you snuggled with all the people that buys a mattress.
Drinking coffee for the pure fact it is cool to drink coffee!
Listen to indie music because its just.... well its cool also
and dress up cause you dig it!
You can walk downtown and take pictures !!! And laugh because someone has a booger in their nose!!!!!!
What love doesnt come without is , sacrifice?
It walks hand in hand
then you can have moments where you fuss at one another and then make up with a big sloppy kiss.
You can then hold hands and sing to one another.
and you then find yourself writing songs about that person.
True love is real.
It is in Christ.
" But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit." 1 Cor 6:17
To unite yourself with the love of Christ....
I bet it is so fulfilling....
That laying on mattresses, writing songs, walking downtown, and sipping coffee is transformed into something more beautiful.
Transformed into a date with Christ of romance.
Paul says " I would like for you to be free from concern."he is talking about not getting married.
Paul states his opioin on way he feels its best to stay single...
and simply....
its because no one can satisfy like Christ....
Even in the mist of pauls suffering
no one
could ever
satisfy like the Lord does.
To unite so deeply with the Lord..
is to experience the movie love we all have searched for since P.S. I love you
or whatever movie that was the one that set you over the top for such great wonders.
To mess up along the way..
To lend your heart out is ok..
because the coming back is the best part.
john 3:17" For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him."
" God who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful." 1 Cor 1:9.
Its time to start having faith and believing that what Jesus said was true.
His promise wont fail.
He came to rescue and to give abundant life, and when the seasons of hard things come through we can rejoice that we are still alive, even though those times suck....
In those times He calls us to be joyous, so how would I walk look if we did such?
Its time to stop, and to start searching for love.
God has all good worked out for those who love Him- Romans8:28.
My mother just admitted to loving third day....
I now disown her, not really.
She is a prime example that Gods love is good.
My folks use to not go to church
Until I started speaking to them and about their hard times
and they went..
well...
they are still going
and hard times are still coming but the point is ... love of God is satisfying.
Its been allllooonngnggngngngngng time since Ive been in love with God and felt change
and I am in a wonderful season where I just have rediscovered.
I have built soooo many relationships, spoken to many people , and traveled everyone to make friendships that are forever changed for the both of us, and to experience this way of thinking again feels great.
Be encourged my friends in this new season, though it may be hard, or joyous.
God is faithful and you wasnt made to fail.
Happy Fall
also my favorite hoilday is here!!!!!
almost
halloweennnnnnnnn yes
scary movies everyday!!!!!!!!!!

In my veins.
I think its ok to keep secrets between you and God.
Most married couples share everything..... tell one another everything.
Why should it be any different with the maker.
I think its in my veins....
I feel Christ, the spirit to be more excite.
It seems I cant function anymore if I don't meet with Christ.
you know what,
I'll save this thought for myself.
love you.

Its a fight between my heart and mind... no one really wins this time.
"How easily the heart of man is tamed."- J. Tillman.
The heart and mind is a confusing combination.
I look at the relationships I have formed with people and realize that each relationship has its uniqueness attraction.
I don't mean attraction as "your hott" I mean the reason why you like this person.
Each relationship has its own identity is what Im trying to say.
When a young man is looking for love it just so happens that sometimes his heart and mind are on different pages.
Usual this is because lack of time spent with Jesus in deep communication figuring out just what is going on...
This is my case.
I love people so sooo much.
It often leads to heart ache for myself and for others.
I have met wonderful young ladies that some will forever hold a place in my heart, just not hold my heart and looking backing, my choice of words and actions could have been better, but the state of change feels wonderful.
I will not fall back in my old mold, in Christ we are a new creation.
With this case of non equilibrium, often times my mouth speaks before my heart and mind are on the same page.
Love is often a wore out, talked about subject... but if you stop to think about it.. its what we are all after.
You can make up your mind and in your heart to not look but you will find your eye looking at the opposite sex's and wondering.
Its the attraction!!!
For me its not the looks anymore, of course it is to a point, but its attitude and spirit and the " I dont know"
meaning-sometimes you dig someone and you dont even know why.
I think its dangerous when you cant distinguish your feelings correctly.
Not only does it leave heart ache for you but for others also.
I promise ya, I'm the master at this, but we all, yes including you, have a sin that is our downfall.
For you it could be porn, action figures, idols of loving something, etc. for me its the idea of love and falling in it and not being careful of what my heart is really saying.
Dating isnt mentioned in the bible, people would just straight up get married.
I dot want to be that typical Christian guy who thinks and talks about it all the time, I find Jesus to be a wayyy better topic but, its such a beautiful topic.
Does anyone really want to be alone?
Not I.
Join me on my journey of change and growing to become the Christian man I'm called to be.
Its possible with Christ.
So ... conclusion:
You are more then the choices that you make, you are more then the sum of your past mistakes, you are more then the problems you create, you've been remade.
short post, yes.
writing again finally.

None but Jesus.
I think the worst feeling you can ever attain is apathy or indifference
apathy- lack of interest or concern.
indifference- absence of compulsion to or toward one thing.
Growing numb toward scripture is a place you never want to get in your walk with Christ.
I find myself with confused feelings, miss-read thoughts, abused relationship, and lack of emotions.
I was once told by a very respected friend of mine that you can't rely on your emotions to tell you were you stand in your walk with God.
But I ponder that...
God gave emotions.
Sad, mad, happy, anger etc.
I think experiencing these are very much okay.
But when it gets to a point where its all wishy washy , then you got problems.
I rely on feelings.
I can read the word, but if I'm not moved, then what good did it do?
I know you feel the same way.
If we don't have an emotional experience with God, then did we even experience God at all?
Stop and ask yourself that.
The answer is yes, you did experience God.
The spirit is obedience.
John 14:15
[ Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit ] "If you love me, you will obey what I command.
Maybe its just obeying what you know to do.
You know to grow in love, to build up faith, to be strengthend, you read the word, pray, and fast.
Many simple facts of the Lord that tend to be looked over.
John 10
Jesus calms to be The Good Shepherd.
Jesus is good.
He said He was, and so, He is.
There is no need for me to question this.
He said in verse 18
No one takes My life, but I chose to lay it down.
but I find this not moving me.
Part of growing, is going through times of absence.
Jesus never leaving us, but us being absent to Him.
I encourage you, to spill your heart, as I do to you and to Christ today.
Father God,
I pray you release me and those who are not moved by the goodness of You right now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ that our hard hearts will be broken and You work on us. Allow me and others to love you like you deserve. We pray and we believe(mark 11:24) God so right now sweep me and others with your love.
by the power of the Holy Spirit I pray, and in Jesus beautiful name . Amen. It is done.

Shine.
Soooo
I havent had a girlfriend since the 11th grade!!!!!
I mean Ive been on dates but nothing worked out.
I was pondering this thought on my way home from Volleyball tonight!
I have been talking to alot of people about relationships and marriages and I realize the ever more importance to wait.
I look back on my past of dating around and realize how dumb it was, but at the same time very rewarding, only in the sense I know more of what I want then ever.
But I feel some people rush love..
I look at the peoples relationships who talk to me about their problems and they all say the same thing, I should have waited.
How insecure do you have to be to have someone right now?
I think its a empty feeling that you wont let God heal.
It was my problem for the longest time.
I have saved apart of myself to give away to a lady when really I should have given my whole self to God.
God is love and all good works out for those according to his purpose.
I write to those who read this blog.
Enjoy waiting.
Dont play around.
Be honest.
now that Im past that.
Ive been thinking about things I really like
and Here is a list.
I want my wife , or if I never have one, to have a friend who looks past my crooked teeth and love handles and enjoys me for these qualitys: These are things I like, and enjoy.
1. foam soap
2. Pauly shore
3. glasses( on other people)
4. facial hair
5. long hair
6. laughing
7. star gazing
8. elizabethtown
9.a good acoustic tune
10. writing
11. playing guitar
12. singing
13. windows down
14. cowboy boots
15. cereal
16.water, no soda
17. hugs
18. hand holding
19. braclets
20. strangers, but I love people so it shouldnt make the list, its who i am.
21. books.
22. coffee

25. fresh smells
26. dogs!!!!
27. running
28. working out

30. hiking
31. to just relax.
enough with the list.
I found I really enjoy chilling out.
Laying in my floor listening to music that makes you feel inspired.
I love breakfast.
I overthink and think to deep.
Jesus is my first love and best friend, I often treat Him like crap but I do desire to know Him more.
At the end of the day I pray about all my choices.

Well crap..
So it wont let me make a new one.
so that means I have to keep this one
So I'll write on here, no big deal.
I think girls overlook the fact that guys can be insecure too.
I've been doing this not dating stuff and its been wonderful, I mean yes I want a girlfriend, but there are so many people that need my attention.
and my youth kids will prevail, everytime.
I will finish this later, I just feel like reading and not writing at the moment
