Change

Wow alot has changed since I have blogged last. A 20 day mission trip and CIY MOVE 2009 are the biggest things.

MOVE was amazing this year. It was completely different the food, the free time, a whole new group of friends, and a mostly new youth group.

We had a blast in Oregon, at night the guys would party in the lounge in the boys dorm, and during the day there was never a boring moment. We came closer to each other but more importantly we came closer to God. Giving up idols, breaking or chains, and worshiping Him instead of anything else.

We received a challenge card the deal was that if we opened the challenge card we HAD to do what the card said. So after being warned not to open it being rebellious and all that I opened it.
The card read: You must organize a debate between a christian and an atheist in your church/school.

I'm so excited about this I have a location and a date. Now I need an atheist. This is going to be a big debate. Ive contacted Frank Turek and I plan on contacting Ben Stein hopefully to be guest speakers at this event. God is MOVING more then ever before.

For CIY videos go to YouTube my YouTube name is: 12thman1992

PEACE LOVE AND GOD

Tecate Mexico

Escorial, Literal translation. "Trash" "The Dump".
Before leaving for this missions trip I told god I didn't care where he sent me as long as it wasn't Mexico because everyone goes to Mexico to help, why isn't it fixed yet?
He opened my eyes, Humbled my heart, and this summer ill be going back down with a friend for three weeks as an intern, to build relationships with the kids and god through soccer outreach, dramas, and just showing them love.
Some of these people live in dumps, literally a dump where the few people throw their garbage, when they don't throw it in the street, and yet they smile every single day, they laugh and enjoy life so much with so little.

The last month and a half

So my mom says I have to start blogging or she will give me a book report, and I'm NOT doing a book report so here it is.
If you have been reading my blog you would know that I was a lifeguard at a water park, I'm not anymore. July 26Th I left for a one week youth conference called CIY MOVE in Corvallis Oregon, It was amazing. I met some of the coolest people EVER. While I was at this conference i also realized that I wasn't living my life for God. So I quit my job at silverwood for 2 reasons. One, I was so focused on making money that I never gave any of my time to God and number two, when there's over 2000 girls walking around in bikinis you start having lustful eyes, and that was definitely not what God wanted me to have.
Ive also become more involved in my youth group. I actually designed the shirt for it, which should be coming out next week, ya that's pretty exciting.

Last Friday I went to a football game with some friends, and since I use to go to the opposing teams school, some kids didn't like that to much so they were gonna start a fight. It would have been 5 to 1 at least until my buddies showed up. These kids waited until I was on my own because they are chickens. There is more to the story but I don't feel like typing it.

Saturday was a really really bad day for me, if you want details you can read my moms blog.

Now my life is pretty much School, Youth group, and txting(that's where you press buttons on a cell phone and spell out words, for all the "older aged" people who read my blog) Lol well I'm done
Peace Love and Friends

So pretty much the only reason why I Havent been on here is because im a slacker. Being recently employed as a lifeguard at silverwood, which is toattly awesome by the way, theres not alot of time to do things like say, update your blog but stuff happens. And while we are on the topic, Its the best job around, o and I enjoy going to work... alot of you probably can't say the same Haha. Yep its "prettysweeet" as jessica would say. All I need now is a car and a plastic card that makes it legal for me to drive and I'll be set. Ive finally hit the real world, Amount taken out of first paycheck for taxes: 170 dollars, Gas money repaid to my personal cheffeur to get to work:80$, Working at a waterpark making friends for life, getting a tan and being outside all day: priceless. For everything else theres master card

Peace Out

This week

OKAY so here it goes.
In regionals I placed 12th. I was kinda bummed because I wanted to at least place in the top five or so but anyways I was sitting at home trying to figure out what i could have done better when i realized I placed 12th. Now the normal mind would not have connected the two but, because of my briliant adhd mind I did. If youve already read my blog you would know that I LOVE the seattle seahawks, well there you go. I WAS the 12th man. HAha you might not think it is exciting but we all have our opinions. O and at the end I was talking to this one kid who earlier in the day had been talking smack about how he was gona take first and all that, so I was like "dude i think i beat you" and hes like "yah im just glad i made it I didnt think I was going to" so I said "yah its good that you made it but next time that you start talking smak you should probably back it up" hes like "true but at least im going to state" and then his mom who was sitting a little ways away turns to me and says "Would you just shut the hell up" than all hell broke lose and my friends mom went off on this kids mom because apperantly this kid talks crap to everyone even at school so yah it was pretty entertaining.

Today.
I went to co-op and wore mariahs sunglasses again because they are toattly sweet. Me and brad joked around again, and american history was entertaining like it always is.

Tommorow.
Im going to triple play's inside water park hopefully, which is going to be sweet because they have one of those swirly toilet bowl rides.

Road Trip

Yesterday My family and I went on this little road trip to colville to see a friend of my moms. They havnt seen each other in like 2o something years (thanks to myspace they found each other again) and we to her brothers house cause thats where she was staying. They are really nice people. We were there for like 7 hours they all told stories about when they were younger and I quickly realized im going to have the most boring stories to tell my kids when I grow up.
Ive never gone Joy riding in dads truck, never snuck out and ran away, my life is boring. However back when they were all younger the cops didnt get involved as much as they do now so whatever. Anyway I had fun, o and on the way back we saw like 200 deer in all the fields up by their house and then we got lost. My mom was like " im going to take this route to save time and gas" yah it did not quite work out like that. Well i better go get ready.

~PEACE~
