MC Roomie

So today I am leaving to go to a men's retreat in DC. Oh yeah, quite the jetsetter. If I had not been listening to God's promptings in my life I would NOT be going this weekend. So superstar had her girl's club last night, and I decided to not work at all today. I even went to bed early so that I could get up and have breakfaast with my family. So superstar got to sleep in, I got to have breakfast with the girls, get them ready for school, drive them to school, everything while the star still slept. That is not something that has happened, I don't think ever. I enjoyed this morning SO MUCH.
So then I come home, have quiet time, read my bible, talk with the star about our walk. NICE. I check my email, and I get one from MC Roomie-this is it. In my bible reading, I am in 2 Samuel, and this morning I read 7-9. In Chapter 7, David is speaking frankly with God and asks Him "Who am I, O Sovereign Lord, and what is my family that you have brought me this far?" And I am thinking to myself, I am experiencing much of the same things that David-you know the king that is referenced as in 'the house of David' where Jesus comes from-experienced in following His promptings. (PS-More weeping here) So I am considering how my life is different today than it was a year ago, six months ago, a week ago because I have been willing to follow His promptings. Then MC Roomie sends me this email.
KEY POINT-If you follow His promptings, and become vulnerable with others that are trying to follow as well, God will speak to you LOUD AND CLEAR in what you need to do, and how you can serve His purpose. Thanks MC Roomie.

I love the part you wrote about not being the same guy from last year, and just last week. I thought you were fantastic before, but having Christ RULE in you has made such a great change. I guess that is why we all contiune to grow in our faith, keep being sanctified in our walk, and forever submit to the calling daily. You let her sleep in..??.. woow like I said change...next thing you know: you will be willing to only watch people play the wii and not even need a turn....that would be something. Love ya forever tmp

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Righteous or Unrighteous?

Today, as I thoroughly enjoyed my walk to the school, I pondered quite a few things, as I often do on my walk. Sometimes I pray for people like Hammy, Jimmer, sick pete, mg, cdubs, pastor, beary, and the like. But today, I simply reveled in the fact that God loves me. As I watched the snow melting away, I could see the dirt and garbage left behind throughout my walk. I think of how God melts away our dirt and our garbage. How he longs to be in relationship with us, and how he cleanses our sins from existence. As the sun rose, I couldn't help but think of the verse I read this morning in Matthew 5:45 - "...that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." I pondered if Jesus was walking with me, which of the above categories would HE put me in? I'm pretty sure the unrighteous one at times. But yet he still walks with me and leads my steps. He brings the heat ...

Casa de Kelly - a nice place to dine.

It has been a challenging week for me personally. Struggling with some things personal in nature, nothing that I need to go into, but just working hard to keep my chin up. But encouragement comes to me through others that follow God. Thanks to sick Pete for his encouragement to me this week. Thanks to BK for his prayers and vulnerability. But my biggest thanks goes out to the kkft. After a tough week, I got an email yesterday from superstar saying she was hoping to take me out to dinner for drinks, conversation, and even dessert. But no sitter. So her and the girls were working on 'casa de kelly' restaurant in our apartment. I am almost certain it was the best restaurant I have ever visited in my life. Candlelight, mexican food and latin music, time to sit and chat with my wife, the girls serving us and giving us privacy (even had the taboo buzzer to call them when we needed something :)), it was my best night of the year by far. But perhaps the biggest part of the n...
