| For the past serveral weeks Ive been praying for God's leading, His
will in my life. Whether its a job or romance, several issues
have been on my heart as of late. Almost all my life it has been
difficult for me to hear the voice of God. Very seldom have I heard His
voice command me and give me direct orders. As I laid here tonight,
nearly falling asleep, God spoke to me :) In Isiaah, God says that the
righteous will be rewarded and know the fruits of their deeds. I heard
God say, Brian, you inquire about my blessings, the fruit in your life,
as you long for my answer, how will you know how to obtain the fruit or
what it looks like, when you fail to do the work? I ashamedly admit
before God and the world that I fail in my daily attempts to show God
my total devotion and adoration towards Him. I occupy myself with less
meaningful things. Ive learned alot from the Israelites, I long for
romance, fulfillment, blessings, and more, yet my actions must be; "God
I love you, how can I lay down my life for you as a holy sacrifice."
(Rom 12) In doing so, it results in blessings, (Mal 3:10-12) but
first things first (Matt 6:33). So today I choose not to focus on
fruits and blessings. I'm not looking for answers. I'm declaring,
Christ I love you! Today, I lay down my life, and you will bless me
abundantly. Then shall I receive the answers that my soul longs for. I
can't wait because I love you and long for you.

| Alright, time to update. So this weekend I went to a Renaissance
festival. Now I have to admit.... I never really wanted to go to one of
these things. Didn’t seem to interesting to me and my apologies but it
slightly weirded me out (kinda like the feeling you get when you’re
around Star Wars freaks haha) Well I was pleasantly surprised. The
group I went with dressed up, myself as well. I was a pirate captain
haha... (pictures soon to come) Anyways, had a lot of fun, volunteered
for a skit haha. And got some looks from my outfit lol In other
news... Life is pretty good. Dept still sucks. Im not paying off loans
yet but preparing for it blows. *Biting my tongue* But life right now,
Im making it just fine :) hours are increasing at work (= pay increase
?) Singing for worship is pretty cool, but I have a feeling this Tue.
Is gonna be a big fresh breathe of air for me. Im sharing lead vocals.
Our men’s bible study is leading worship and its gonna be a lil edgier
than usual. Im gonna sing some punk-ish sorta stuff. Also singing
Closer by Sanctus Real, that song rocks out and I totally get into it
So that’s gonna be awesome. I could use a time of unadulterated,
pure passionate worship. Im lookin forward to it. :) If you’re close
and can make it.... this Tue. The 11th 7pm at the Axis. Also,
children’s church called me and asked if Id be interested in dressing
up as Larry from VeggieTales for a movie release haha How awesome is
that!?!?! I hope I can, it’d be so much fun :) If I do, ill have pics
of that too LOL. Well God is good and taking care of me. I pray that
you too would feel His amazing presence, because He’s there, right now
:) God bless and God’s Love.

| K its kinda late so Im gonna atempt to do this quickly.. ill be back to fine tune this....
K think of this... After Christ's life on this earth Paul tells us that
our body is a temple, made in honor of God. So you gotta ask
yourself, why a temple? Why not a precious jewel, or maybe a valuable
item in their day? Well up to this point, what has the term temple
meant to all these jewish people? Well turn back to when Solomon is
building the temple. Look at the Jewish history and the significance of
the Temple. Solomon asks God, and God himself afirms his requests, that
God would look to the temple with favor. God tells us that prayers made
towards the temple would be heard by God. Requests and cries made to
the temple, God would hear. God even chose the temple as his resting
place. For years God never chose a place to reside, but in this passage
( 1 or 2 Chron.) He tells us that He has finally found a promising
place to rest. Theres more there so youll just have to read it. Ok so
now fast forward to when Paul tells the believers they are a temple.
Well they are thinking.... we are what!?! The temple!?!? The most
sacred place in all our religion? The place where God dwells!? what!?
But thats exactly what Paul is saying here... we are now the temple.
God has chosen to dwell with men, in the hearts of men. Re read the
passage in Chronicles (ill come back later and list where specifically)
and you find that its an amazing love letter intimately written to each
of us. He has chosen to reside with us. He finds favor with us. He
assures His presence and if we acknowledge Him and His temple (His
presence in ourselves) then He will hear and answer our prayers, our
cries! How much does the Lord love us!!! :) Beyond measure, time, and
words!!!! check it out folks. God bless :)

| ok wow, have i got an update haha. This is a disclaimer: I'm sure this
story is funnier to me and my friends involved and perhaps you had to
be there, but still I just have to share with everyone! haha So
tonight after trust (a ministry at church where 18-35 yr old singles
meet for a Bible lesson and worship [think youth group, only older]) we
went out to eat like we normally do, and this time chose Buffalo Wild
Wings, a sports bar in town. Tue night is 35 cent wing night and
karaoke night. So i decided to sing Keith Urban's "Somebody like
you" Awesome song! 
Anyways, I go up there and well to start off, If youve known me for a
while you know that for 20 years of my life i HATED country. Despised it and wouldnt give it the time of day. Secondly,
I don't drink, and not too many ppl would expect to find me in a bar.
So its pretty funny just that im singing in front of a big group of
people, in a bar, to a country song. I go up and start singing, and
well people start looking at me, getting their attention cuz "hey, this
guys pretty good!" (Mad love and props to God for all the musical
abilities He's given me.) There's ppl clappin (by the way this is a
very upbeat toe thumpin foot stompin tune) some are singing , some are
shouting. Well there's this table of like 6 all bigger black women
(dont mean to be offensive, just givin details for the story), all
sitting right in front shouting, "oh you go baby! Sing it boy! yeah
SING ... IT!!! " Before i know it two of them are coming up on stage
and get on either side of me. By this point i have no idea whats about
to happen ahhaaha. Then I realize they are dancing on either side of
me! One says to me, "Baby, is yo girlfriend here? You want us to make
her jealous? Huh, you want us to make her jealous?" I'm
like.... "uhhh.... no thats alright haha but thanks" and i laugh. Then
she says to her friend "Com'on {name} lets make her jealous." at this
point that woman gets behind me and Lord knows what she did, and the
other woman, and to be honest, this was a Large woman! She gets in
front of me, hands on her knees and starts shakin her booty in front of
me! Now lets pause here for a second.... I am singing a country song,
upbeat, no where is this near a kind of song you could dance like that
to! What the heck! Ackward! So I am 1. not having any idea what the
heck to do haha, because nothing like this has happened to anyone
before from what I'd seen. and 2. I'm like do i dance and go all out or
what? haha and 3. I am laughing histarically while still doing my best to keep singing. Then i look over at my
friends with me and they are nearly fallin off their chairs laughing.
At that point I almost died laughing and botched the song. There's
skinny country singing white boy between two large black women shakin
their booties bumpin in grinding n stuff haha me not knowing WHAT THE
HECK TO DO haha. They eventually leave and I finished my song. haha I
got done and they were all clappin and shoutin haha. I gave the two
women fives and handshakes laughing thanking them for being good
sports. i went back and sat down with my friends and they were like
wow... you were an oreo up there! haha Well like i said, i dont know...
maybe you had to be there, maybe you can picture how incredibly funny
that must have looked and how ackward i looked but laughed it off.
Either way, just had to share that with you all haha :) Peace.

| With total submission and complete dependency comes ... freedom.
Unrestricted, life giving, can't be described by words, FREEdom. :)
Isn't it the beauty, and the funny, amazing character of God, to take
such a contradictory statement but make it so, oh so very true?!
I am weak, but He is strong. You oh Lord are my strength, my, thee,
Source. Words cannot explain your wonder. I glory in my wounds, my
shortcomings and shotgun blasts to the chest of my soul, for in those
very places that are so close and dear to me, in the places I
desperately dream of a better tomorrow, you rush in and fill. You FILL
me  Glory, oh so sweet glory be to GOD!!!!! :)
