New Years Eve Post

One of my favorite things about blogging is writing a new years post!

This year was ridiculous....Many changes that seemed bad at first and ended up being good.

Got engaged to an amazing woman who I am looking forward to spending the rest of my life with.

Learned to trust that God has a plan and not to worry about things happening in the moment as much.

Looking back, overall it has been a pretty amazing year. Full of changes, growth, maturity and undeserved blessings. (emphasis on that last part) One that I am sure a lot of people will never forget....myself included.

New years resolutions? Hmm....To make myself more bold for Christ,(and in life) to be an amazing husband, to go to a real live race.(<--- random, I know)

I hope you have had an amazing 2010!

A Fascinating Tweet.

I refuse to use Twitter.. I feel the website would be more appropriately named "Stalkers R Us," nevertheless, I read a pretty awesome tweet earlier in the month. Kudos to Allan McCullough for writing it.



Joy, Fulfillment, Purpose. Are these your only reasons for following Christ? We must remember that these are not a CAUSE, they are a FRUIT.


There was one following that tweet about our walk with Christ being US centered and not CHRIST centered. Point being that as we mature as Christians, our focuses should shift. I can honestly say it has changed how I view things...

That is all, New Year Post to come!

Updates

So it has been awhile since my last post...which is sad because I learned since starting this thing that I love to write. On to updating the reader with recent happenings of life....

1. Wedding planning is going very well...I think? Lots of amazing advise from recently married couples helps alot.

2. God has answered many prayers lately....I'm very thankful. I have tried to include the phrase "if its your will" to all my requests...I feel alot of people get upset when prayers are not answered when it may just simply not be the best thing for them...

3. I still miss northern VA...(I may mention this every post) but it has gotten alot easier lately. Good people in my life helps with that!

4. This Christmas season is much better then last for me. I still don't like a majority of Christmas movies though....I love everything else about Christmas, but the movies for some reason are completely uninteresting to me.

Speaking of, I will more then likely be shopping on xmas eve....why you may ask? Because it's fun....I love the pressure and chaos of waiting until the LAST day...:)

5. I don't think I have cared as little about football as I have this season...Which is odd because I used to be really into it.

6. I have recently been wondering how much of the bible is lost in translation. I'm sure nothing God would want us as English speakers to know....but, I have always felt the bible is worded awkwardly in the English language and wonder the beauty of it's original word construction.

7. Video games have been fading fast in my life sadly....its gone from any game I can sit down and enjoy, to I can only play games that take years to develop and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to make. One such genre of video games I really really enjoy is car racing simulators, I love them, Look forward to their release dates, and research them before they launch. One such game that recently hit the shelves is Gran Turismo 5...The game does have its flaws but I am overall impressed! Maybe I'll do a few video game review blogs...

8. Why is it that everytime I tag God in my blogs, blogger forces it to be a lowercase G?...I am not a fan.

Anyhoo that is about it...MERYY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL!
