I hate Saturday nights

I feel like saturday night is almost pointless anymore. Saturday night is that prime opportunity for me to experience spiritual warfare. It’s typically when all the things that are seamlessly out of control and out of my control in my life come to me. I fight off a strong “case of the monday’s” on Saturday night. It’s usually where I face failure. I feel the strong sense of failure as a man and perhaps that I will never see a real genuine measure of success. But Sunday always comes. I know my God can be victorious in my life, my circumstances, my finances and my stresses. I know that I can sing that I’m laying down the sorrow (even the amount that I’m facing now) that I face for the joy of the Lord. To steal a quote even… “the night is always darkest before the dawn”. Light is ahead. Hold on. Hold on.

The infamous J Nasty

What an exciting day today! The small business that myself and two friends started was officially incorporated today! (woot! Hail to the chief baby!) That was truly and exciting moment and I am just stoked about the potential that is ahead of us. We had a great day today mostly just hanging out. Needless to say however, we got a lot accomplished. Today has honestly just been another one of those looooong days that seems to end somewhere fuzzy and then just crash. A highlight of the day was the stalking of “Grandpa Gangsta” aka: J Nasty. James had run into the bank to get some money, while Brian and myself were just chillin’ outside. After James returned to the car, he informed us of a guy in the bank who was scraight up gangsta. The only problem, the guy was like 55 or older. We didn’t believe him, so we proceeded to do the only sane thing left to do… stalk. We positioned up outside the bank (totally inconspicuously) and waited for our senior soul man to emerge. Low and behold (and 20 minutes later) our mystery hoary hoodlum finally appeared. Now whether he was of the age James claimed is still yet to be told, only one image of our geriatric thug survived. Examine closely for yourself and watch out for Grandpa Gangsta

The Wine Shoe

I missed it today! I was going to blog some thoughts and I missed it, but it’s here now and I’m gonna push on through!

I am still wigged out about LOST! I need some peeps to fall in love with LOST so we can theorize! What a wicked cool turn last night! If your missing out, your missing out!

Been quite the long day today. It’s sad that I just realized that. Today has been a myriad of feelings from tired to happy to stressed to confused to all kinds of happy to even more happy and then some venting frustration anger stuff(was that last one a feeling?) Anyway, I’m sure you are just so captivated by what happened in my life today. Good news for tomorrow! My first business start-up is going to be officially incorporated. We head up and sign the paperwork. Looking forward to exciting new venture! www.savioursix.com 

Sorry for the random title. Just something I heard today and it felt necessary that that become the title. To be honest, at this point I dislike it, but I’m not going to change it. It’s late, bed…

Here’s some random video for your enjoyment….

…but a person who hates being corrected is stupid.

Never thought I would say it, but I honestly have begun to fall in love with Proverbs. I always had enjoyed reading some of the little sayings, but never really had read into this book of the Bible that much. I have been meeting with a guy for several weeks and we have been going through Proverbs. For me, I have been struggling with consistency and discipline all my life. I make plans and try to commit to myself that I’m going to do something different. Well, I’m not going to commit to myself this time, but to God. There are some major changes to be had and proverbs opened my eyes to some of that…

I was reading through Proverbs 12 last evening and came on some very worthwhile scripture. Proverbs 12:24 says, “Hard workers will be come leaders, but those who are lazy will be slaves”(NCV). I have to be honest with myself, I am very lazy. I mean, I “get” by, but I don’t push myself to work hard. In that sense I have become a slave, I have become a slave to my habits. My life is not dictated but what I would have for myself, but I live my life based on what my body (which is way outs of shape, the workout begins today, yikes!) let’s me do, when I can just “get” to stuff and based on what I want. I can’t live this way. This way doesn’t really include my Savior, he’s just become that tacked on extra piece. No LONGER! Proverbs also goes on to say… doing right brings freedom (which we were created for by the way) to honest people, but those who are not trustworthy will be caught by their own desires. So… #1 Be honest. The only way change is going to happen is that you are first honest with yourself. #2 Prepare for Hard work (aka: sacrifice). People have said anything worth doing is not easy. God hasn’t promised an “easy” journey, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be the most rewarding and amazing journey in your entire life. #3 Trust that God is the only One who can make this possible. …”People may make plans in their minds, but only the Lord can make them come true”. For me, I understand that to some degree greater today than yesterday. So… I’m honest, I’m lazy and I’m a slave. I’m preparing myself already for the hard work and sacrifice ahead. But I know and trust that God will not leave my side and I cannot accomplish in my own strength, but in His. 

Side note, just finished talking with a friend who is a missionary in Sweden. So wonderful to see that God is at work in and among the nations. That there are greater things happening that I’m so not aware of sometimes. 

I’m excited about what God not only has in store, but what God is beginning in my life. I was created for so much. So much. And I live in such bondage and slavery created by myself that include habits, indiscipline, weight, finances and so much. But God has made this man for freedom and I’m going to embrace the life that God created me for!

GP are you with me?

Is anyone still out there? Cause, I’m back. Oh yes, it is time once again to be culturally relevant and unleash on the world all of my thoughts. Ok, maybe not all of them. I’m working on getting back into the habit of blogging. I’ve taken quite a bit of time off and working on some fresh starts for myself. Stay tuned. Blog coming in the morning.
