Hello again. Remember the old adage, "You don't know what you have until it's gone"? Well, that kind of describes what happened when I went to my connection group's Christmas party last night. I felt like I was finally at home for the first time in two months. I got to lead worship once again and I really felt connected to God. The focus was on Jesus and the songs that I selected last night reflected that despite the fact I did not have time to choose any Christmas songs. We also got a chance to see a scene from the Nativity Story. It's a must watch for any Christian regardless of the season. When I saw that clip, I really began to appreciate what God gave me years ago when I became a Christian. The gift of eternal life. I am now more focused than ever on sharing that gift with the rest of the world. I felt like I was at home there and I can't wait until our CG meets again in the new year(Jan. 4th to be exact). I love Christmas, but more importantly, I love Jesus! He is the reason for the season.

Surviving Ike...and Thriving

Hello everyone. I have been dealing with a lot since Hurricane Ike hit Houston in September. I lost my job, I've had financial problems and I've been having problems communicating with my family. And to top it all off. I had a car break down. So without transportation, I was basically losing my sanity. Now, things are getting better, I have a new van, and things are looking up. I'm still looking for a job, but I'm very optimistic. Thanks to those who have been praying for me and everything. Peace.

Stormy times

Hello everyone. Ever since Ike hit town, things have been tough for me. I'll be going into greater detail in a future blog. Peace out.

MIA

Hey there. I apologize for not blogging lately. It's been kind of hard to do that since hurricane Ike decided to leave his calling card on Houston. I'll be back in cyberspace soon. Peace.

Olympic withdrawals

Yes. I'll admit it. I'm going through some Olympics withdrawals even though the games of the XXIX Olympiad ended on Sunday. I've been looking all over the Internet and I realize that the games are over. TV schedules are back to normal programming and life goes on. I'm not a real big fan of the winter Olympics, but I can get my fix in a couple of years. 2012 is going to be interesting because of the British flair that the Olympics will have(the games of the 30TH Olympiad will take place in London, England). Enjoy the withdrawals in the meantime.

Being the Church

Yesterday, August 24th, our congregation became the church and served numerous families throughout northwest Harris County, TX. The team I was on served one family whose husband had a stroke and cannot do much since being confined to a wheelchair, and the wife is just getting overwhelmed by everything else that life has thrown at her. They are so sweet and they've already asked our team if they could come by once a month. I already told our team leader, if she asks, please put me down. It's easy when it comes to going to church, but I'm glad at least for one day, we get to be the church.

Weekends

Well. I had my girlfriend, Tasha Nicole Braggs come down this past weekend and it turned out to be very good despite the bad weather. I'm just amazed how God can turn things around for good. I don't know how He does it, but I'm not complaining. Peace.
