I'm Engaged!

Guess what everyone? I'm engaged!!!! Yes it is true, if you havent already heard from the grapevine Emily is no longer my girlfriend she is my fiancee. The date we have picked is December 19th 2006. I am very excited and can't wait until the big day. This summer we will be making plans and working here in Durango CO. I have been given the oppertunity to work at First Baptist here in Durango as the music intern. I will be playing music for youth and for church, studying the Bible abd preparing multiple Bible studys. I am extremely excited that I will be doing what I love and being paid for it. Emily is going to be working at the daycare of a school, playing with all the little babies. As a matter of fact we are both looking after a baby right now. Not ours of course, but the program director of athletic trainings' baby. He is a cute little boy, when he is not fussy. Prayers for our wedding and future would be much appreciated. God has blessed us both beyond anything we could have hoped for. And I hope you are all waiting on and trusting in Him as we have been.
Wait patiently for the Lord.
Be brave and courageous,
Yes, wait patienly for the Lord.
--Psalm 27:14 NLT

God is Working

Hey y'all! I know that once again it has been a pretty long time since i typed in my blog. But at least it hasn't been almost a year like last time. Well i hope all of you are doing well and fighting the good fight out in the world where God has you. God still has me here in Durango CO. My gilrfriend Emily and I are doing well we have now been dating for 11 months which has been such a blessing. I have taken the semester off from the athletic training program, so i have had more time to work for Christ in other areas. I am still taking classes so i did'nt drop out or anything. Also this semester i am working with the youth at the First Baptist church. If anyone reads this please just say a little quick prayer for me becasue i am giving a talk a talk on worship for the college ministry get together on Friday. I have to go but i will write more later, maybe. Just want to encourage you all before i go.
17And since we are his children, we will share his treasures--for everything God gives to his Son, Christ, is ours, too. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.

Wow it has been a while

So it has been quite a long time since the last time that i wrote in my blog. I hope all of you out there are doing well. I have been good and busy since the last time i wrote. That last summer Brad Hixon came down to Las Vegas and stayed with me and my family and worked consruction with me and my Father. That was great fellowship and a ton of hard work. Last semester waS crazy hard for me. I am in the Athletic Training Program here at Fort Lewis College and it requires much out of me. I was in there probably most of my day everyweek, and even on weekends. Also I had a full class load of hard classes for my major. This semester i have decided to take time off from the Athletic Training Room. I was no longer enjoying it and I was given the oppertunity to work with the high school youth at First Baptist Durango, where i go to church. It has been fun anf Emily is also helping there. Emily and I have been doing well. We are growing closer together and closer to God. It has'nt always been easy but God has helped us through the relationship and I could not be happier. I am leading the musical worship for the campus ministry and i get to lead music for the high school youth group as well. God has been working wonders in my life and I know that he will continue to do so. I miss you all.
