1st down.... it's a start

So today i submitted my first english assignment package! i am 1/6 of the way done my first course. so i am pretty stoked on my minor accomplishment but progress is good:D 

It is crazy how fast my days are beginning to fill up, i am really excited on the focus of my job that is starting to happen at work, then school, youth and spending as much time with Samantha as possible... as soon as i put my devotional life on the side it just seems to be overwhelmingly busy... but when i take the extra time to spend with God the day(s) just go so smoothly. it is yet another season of extreme growth in my life, but i am stoked about it, i love learning new things. anyway i guess i should get started on some school now. 

"a good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children"

... what has happened to this biblical concept?

Peter J Daniels

so i have decided i would try and start each post with a quote. 

"the best helping hand you can get, is the one of your own arm"

"I found the mind is like a muscle and it could be developed." - Peter J Daniels

Wow! i am currently listening to a session by Peter J Daniels. who is this you may ask?! well this man is absolutely inspirational, the session was recorded at Eagle Mountain International Church of Texas in 2005. At that point Mr. Daniels was 73 years old. 

A brief summary: Peter J Daniels of Australia was Illiterate, Ignorant and suffered from diphtheria for most of his early years, he started school late and at that point was only in a "opportunity class". At 26 he was hopelessly in debt and was a brick layer and masonry. On may 25 1959 he went to a Billy Graham crusade and for the first time was told he was equal of all men and son of a king. He knew that something had changed and was read joel 2:25 ( i will restore in you the years the locust has taken). God gave him a dream that by his 85th birthday he was to see how much money one human being could give away in there life time and to bring in 200 billion dollars for evangelism and that he would change the world for 300 years. Peter Daniels was 3rd generation welfare. He taught himself to read by memorizing the dictionary front to back he studied every subject he could and then went into business. he has read more than 7,000 biographies. since then he has started multiple businesses and been on multiple boards across the world including the world bank and the United Nations. His company is debt free, he operates an international real estate business  and has no loans, no mortgages and no debt. the company has never been sued or sued anyone. it is the only corporation with their own private currency. He wants to create a heritage for his descendants. He was once paid 1 million dollars for 15 minutes of his time, and in turn the Texan who paid him made 150 million from his advice. Everything that has got him to this point is biblical, he has followed the will and call of God on his life, and he will be the first to say so, he is a wake up call to all of us. We are called to be GREAT, above average and we have no exceptions. i would encourage you to listen to him. if you follow this link: http://www.bvov.tv/emic/ondemanp.php then go all the way down to nov 2005. 

I love to be stimulated by wisdom, and wanted to share this with you  as it was shared with me. 

Mexican Fit Camp

Well tonight was the kick off to our Youth Missions trip, we had our first meeting and quite frankly i am so stoked! We already have a great group of youth signed up and i am so expectant on what God has for us on this trip. For those of you who don't know, there is a group of about 20 who will be going down to Mexico. We will work with Joel & Sally missionaries from our church, we are going over spring break.

 It has been great to see the growth and drive of the youth in our church. just a short post for tonight, as fit for life is on again tomorrow... side note, it really is awesome i mean aside from the getting up early and aching for possibly hours after. it is one of those "good" tired feelings, like the difference between eating Mcdonalds and eating a Salad. you just feel like you have accomplished something once the session is over. it is just a great opportunity to be able to exercise, support missions, be motivated and spend time with some pretty awesome people.

Intro

Hey!

well i finally broke down, i am stating this blogging thing, another new item to add to this season of life. i have recently started my bachelor of commerce degree, i am taking it by correspondence and continuing to work full time, i am so stoked! So since i am going to be sitting in front of my computer so often i decided it would be a good time to start blogging, and let everyone know what i am up to. Over these past few weeks i have really grown to appreciate life so much more. i am so grateful for all of my friends and family. They are truly the best that anyone could ever ask for, they are constantly uplifting and supportive. I have an amazing church with an outstanding vision and heart. All in all this is such an exciting and stretching time of life and i am really enjoying it.
