my fav tv shows

smallville and 24
i don't know about anyone else but i am a big, and i mean BIG fan of 24 and smallville. i'm getting ready right now to order the box sets of season 4 for both tv shows. it's like an anual thing for me. every year, at about the same time, the box sets will get realeased and since i'm such a big fam, i go out, buy em, and watch a seasons worth of episodes in a matter of a few days. and if you think that's bad, i also encourage people to do the same cause if there's someone watching it with me, i just don't feel as dumb. haha that's right, stay clear of chey cause the dvds are being orderrred.
24 is this 24 episode per season seriouse about a dude who is a modern day mygiver slash superman slash matlock. if there's a problem, he'll fix it... within a matter of 24 hours.
smallville is the story of young superman his teen childhood. i don't know about now though since last i heard clark kent graduated. but that's pretty much the jist of young superman.
so that's pretty much my fav tv shows in a 2o second window.

that's a NEGATIVE on AFRICA

So I guess it was a negative for Mauritania Africa. that's ok though, cause there's gonna be a lot of serving opportunities to come; one of which is the summers missions trip on Canoga park with the church itself. And maybe I could even take a couple of weeks to fully devote into it too.

It’s funny because I thought for sure that God wanted me to go there because all the signs were there but I guess not. I think it was my wanting to go that was really pushing for it; as opposed to what it should have been which was the final confirmation from the man above. I was a little bummed out but I kind of saw it coming already followed by a big banner saying "trust in the lord and he will make your path straight." But at the same time, I’m still really exited to serve this summer here in Canoga Park. So many people to share the truth with, wow, i'm exited.

i love my job

This coffee bean job is such a blessing. As long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to work in a coffee shop. Maybe it's my love for just sitting in coffee shops; maybe it's my love for coffee, who knows. I even tried to figure out how I could part time at starbucks. Obviously I didn't get the chance to, but low and behold, here I am a coffee bean employee. People always look at me funny too when I tell that story, but it's true, that's one of my dreams (scratch that off my list).

So I couldn't figure out what I am supposed to do for these people (since I can't tell them God bless and share the gospel with them). I got it, why not pray for them. It wasn't some super duper epiphany; I just thought that it would be a good idea. So ever since my second day, I’ve made it a thing to pray for everyone I serve. for the most part, they all get the same prayer, not for lack of trying though cause I ask their names, and see how their doing but I can only find out so much about a person in 2 minutes. What do I pray for??? Some people I ask that god would bless their day, some for their attitude, some for a smile on their face, and overall, that everyone would see Gods glory above all things in their lives.

I truly believe that there are people whose days are changed from just being prayed for when they get their coffee. Hey, if I knew someone was praying for me every time I get coffee, I’d be there every day. Ha-ha

mens weekend

This past men’s retreat a couple of weeks ago was so amazing. Whenever anyone asks, I always tell them that it was full of testosterone but there was much more than just that; there was trekking through the middle of nowhere, there was fellowship, and most importantly God was there.
Well, obviously, God was there, he's omnipresent. but the speaker bob Vernon spoke pretty much on male leadership over a pretty rounded off "everything a man needs to know to be a man" seminar: spiritual maturity, relationship leader, and evangelism. Doesn’t that cover it all or what? Every man walked away challenged, and my personal prayer is that no one walked away from that weekend forgetting what they got out of it. Otherwise, why have gone at all. His challenge to us to be Godly men’s didn't come in the form of a question, it was through the stories he told and the godliness you could see in his life. Bob Vernon was truly a walking testimony to us all. Oswald chambers wrote about how we can be so much of a friend with God that our every move is without a doubt walking in his will.
