House Boiling ...

So, the house warming was a success, almost too much of one to handle. Almost looked like a B.C. Party, except for the Christian/Worship Music we were bumpin', theological debates we were havin', and RockBand we were playin' ... well I guess that part counts. Anyhoo, it was an dope party, and we thank everyone that came out to support our new digs, and have fun!

I find quite amazing how God has worked in our little community that is 1825 and friends. Knowing that I came from not knowing any other Christians, to having an overflowing house full of them, that more than 80% of them I knew by name ... that is all God. I would have never guessed it, would have never gave it a single thought. However, I am so thankful that things worked out this way, and that they are still working out for the better.

Our room looks great! I personally think it's the sikkest room I've lived in, and at the same time most funtional. I'm happy in it, and if feels good coming home to it. Though, we do still have some cleaning to do that was left-over from the party explosion, but that's to be expected.

BTW ... Good and Healthy Churches on my list:

-Rock Harbor Church, in Orange County.
-Cornerstone Simi Valley, with Francis Chan.
-The Church at Rocky Peak, former ranch property of Charles Manson (ha, creepy but true).

... I visited them all today, and I give two thumbs up, so check the websites, and get some filling!!! I pray God does a true working in you to do great things for the Kingdom, because you're great ... not by anything you have done, but because God says you are, and can use even the lowliest of us sinners to be a true hero (Thanks Andy). I love you all, and pray God blesses you in this day.

House Warming ...

Thank you Jesus for this day, this home, this season, and this life.

This has been a great transistion for Jared and I thus far, and for me personally, I've found that though there was stress, anxiety, worry, you name it ... it still worked out, and God, as always, had my back. Plus, he gave me time to actually get away and rest, so now I'm at peace.

We have our official house warming THIS SATURDAY!!! So, we're just pushing to set up the room how we want it in time, so that's gunna be our project for the week, but it shouldn't take that much, so I'm not worried.

I can't wait to put up content about what God has been showing us in this new experience, but I know for sure God is showing us the fruit of learning and growing in a new experience with new people, and already we've grown closer getting to know each other as a house. Rick and Josh are already positively influencing me to be a better man, so I'm glad ... thank you Lord.

I love you, and I'll talk to you soon ...

Peace,

New Chapter ...

So this is the new hottness! We haven't even fully moved in yet, but we're working on it for sure. It's exciting, and though we had a little bit of a rocky start, I'm fully excited about what is to come. Josh and Rick are great guys to live with thus far, and we're working out the house standards to make sure everyone is happy. Chris is coming in! Jared and I are happy, because that's what we wanted the whole time for him, and for us too. Please pray for us, and soon enough the rest of the guys should be on here bloggin' it up too.

'Til then, God Bless you!

Peace,
