So I got home a few hours ago from a long weekend, the 27- today. I was with friends leading worship @ a camp for a youth group from Elkhart. What an awesome priviledge it was. It was amazing to see the advancement of the kids from day one to this mornings last session. God did some pretty cool stuff I think, and It was an honor to be apart of it for His glory. I plan on writing about some of my thoughts while there this weekend on another post a bit later so stay tuned.
@ 6:30 I almost went to bed because I thought it was 9 or 10. I'm quite tuckered out you could say.
Now I'm just chillin with Jack, got the mood lighting goin, listenin to jason mraz, and just relaxing. Good stuff.

wrote a check for $3.75
So Last night was truly amazing. I had the priviledge of being apart of the 6 Christmas Eve services @ Granger Community. What an amazing night. Such a cool thing to celebrate the birth of Jesus our savior with a couple thousand people. It was a candle light service so one of my favorite parts was looking out at all the people from the stage when we all lifted up our candles and seeing the unity and of the little flames that lit the room. It stirred my heart every time. How awesome it was to join so many people in worship.
So anyways, I decided to stay in Indiana and sleep before I headed home to Ohio. Well this morn on my way home I got to the Indiana toll where i was supposed to pay, and realized that I had forgot to bring cash with me. So I pulled off to the side of the road, with the toll boxes right in front of me and sat there and thought about what I should do. I had been in this circumstance before with no money and a lady yelling at me. The last time the lady just payed for me and told me "get out of here" so this time i was worried cause the last lady wouldnt accept anything and was pretty upset. So i called home and my mom told me that i could ask for a bill to be sent to my home for the toll and they would accept that. So i pulled up to the window and told the lady I had no money. She wasnt happy. So i asked her if I could just have a bill sent to my address. She said no, you cant do that. She told me that she was going to call the police and I would probably have to wait about 2 hours for them to get there...I was thinking "oh man...what a way to start off Christmas." Then she asked me "what about a personal check? do you have one of those?" and hallelujah I did! So I asked her who to make it out to and she told me. Then I handed her the check and my drivers license and she compared my Ohio license to my Indiana address on the check and I thought for sure she was calling the cops again.
Thank God she believed me and I drove away wiping the sweat from my forehead saying "Phew". Can I just tell you how much I despise confrontation like that...sheesh, I don't like making people upset. I was pleading with the lady and being the nicest I could be.
And so now the day is almost over. I'm in the middle of playing Donkey Kong Country on Super Nintendo with my 2 brothers. Such good memories from when I used to be a gamer...
Gotta get back now

With A Pleading Heart
Gracious Father,
Capture my heart like never ever before. I want to want nothing else in comparison to my desire for YOU. Have mercy on me. I am Your servant. Open my eyes to new depths of Your love and grace. I'm falling into You, fully opened for You to embrace with Your perfection. Turn my eyes from the worthless things of this world and give me life through Your word. I need You Jesus. Because of Your steadfast love show me Your compassion, with all that I am I ask. You are my life. You are it. I'm Yours.

Childhood Bliss
So I came home today to Bryan, Ohio. Home of the Etch a sketch and the dum dum sucker. Yes, you heard me right, the ETCH A SKETCH AND the DUM DUM SUCKER. I had the best childhood a kid could want. The 2 coolest toys made right down the street.
I know you're probably thinking, "Why did he ever move?" ha ha...
So I'm home leading worship for the first Sunday of my old church moving into their new building. It will be quite the honor to be there and worship with them on their first day.
Praise God, for His mercies are new every morning, and His grace is still sufficient.
grace peace and love
