Wonderwall

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my Wonderwall

Story of my life. I'm not good with words, and i'm even worse with timing. Past experiences have proven that time and time again. Maybe sometime soon i'll be able to overcome it. Sometime SOON i hope.......

LIFE

 Sometimes i wonder why life's so amazing. 

Then i remember: Because i Love and Worship the one and only TRUE God!!!!

Simpler Things

A recent trip out to Haviland, Kansas showed me that life is just simpler out in the country. Things are slower, and the people are nicer. I love that. I also love photographing the country, there is so much more history out there, which i love.

Powderburn 2010 thoughts.

So,

my third powderburn came and went. 

It was amazing. God speaks every year, i love it.

The main theme of the weekend was being a pilgrim. By that i mean, not just going on retreats, going to church on Sundays and calling yourself a "christian"

Being a pilgrim means devoting every second of every day to the being that created the universe. 

Some point's God has nailed into me this weekend:

1) I am WAY too lazy, in my faith and in the rest of my life.
2) I am called to be in ministry. I'm not sure what that looks like, but whatever it is, it's going to be awesome.
3) I am afraid of the change that God wants to see in my life.
4) I am afraid of what God wants to do in my life.
5) After trying me best to follow Christ for the past 10 years, I am now ready to dive 100% into my faith.


Looking back at this years powderburn, it was mostly about change. Changing myself.

Pre-Burn

I'm leaving for PowderBurn 2010 in a few hours.

I am extremely excited, as this is the yearly snowboard retreat that is always amazing.

PowderBurn is always the trip that God knocks me down hard, and then lifts me up. Always. Every year since i was in 8th grade. I say again, i am Extremely stoked for this. Mountains, Snowboarding, Friends, God.

What more could you ask for?

I shall be back Sunday night, and i'll report on it then :)

Stuck

I Am Lonely; I'm Tired, I'm Lost, I'm Confused, I'm Hurting, I'm Angry, I'm Bitter; I Am Lonely

2009 is over? well, 2010 it is!

So today is the last day of 2009. Wow. This year was..... well, as of right now i'm not sure what this year was. I guess it was pretty excellent. It was a year of learning, thats for sure. Learning how to relate to middle schoolers, learning how to be a role model for kids, learning how to share Jesus with students, learning how to lead worship for students, learning how to be flexible with students, learning how to change plans. I guess overall this was a year of change.

Change:

At the start of 2009, i had my future almost planned out. I was going to finish high school and go to Barclay college in Haviland, Kansas. That was the plan, but halfway through this year, plans changed. This year i was a leader for middle school ministry, and it became my life. I love kids, and i love hanging out with them. As of right now, i think that i want to go into Youth Ministry. Scratch that, i KNOW that i want to go into Youth Ministry. I have no clue what that looks like, but i guess i'll figure that out later!

New Years Resolution?

So i haven't ever done new years resolutions, but i guess since it's a year of change......

• Get a good camera
• Get a job
• Think about college.

Yeah, i know, it's not much of a list, but that's really all i can think of for resolutions.

Here's to 2010!!
