Yesterday Jordan and I went to the statefair and had our share of food and free stuff. This is the food post. Below are thumbnails that link to full size pictures of everything we at at the fair. It was her first time at the fair and she loved it, and now understands why I got so excited about going!
Its weird being back here at Stout and attempting to discover what it is the Lord brought me back here to accomplish. As of right now I am at a loss for what it is, and Im trying to figure it out. I know Im not to be in a position of leadership and it has, for the first time, struck me now freeing that is.
Ever since my early Midwest Skier days I have loved being involved in everything, to the point where I had to know everything that was going on (no nitty details, but you get the point) and now Im here. Recently retired from and sold Midwest Skier, back from STINT and now in a position where people might remember me a bit, might know the name I carry with me, but dont know what to expect of me and who I now am. Ive been a Christian for just over four years now, and the last year was away from the sight of everyone I knew here.
Here I stand slowly embracing the truth that my roll in ministry will be minor and all the while praying that Gods roll for me in the kingdom of God would be huge. I know not what it is He has for me other then that He has given me quite a bit of free time to proclaim the gospel. Continue reading
Its about time, for a long time it hasnt made sense that overweight people, who use more fabric, pay the same price as the rest of us. Tonight at target I saw for the second time prices that reflect the true use of resources. Not only will it help the rest of us, in shape folk, save money but also encourage those who have eaten themselves into a lifestyle of expensiveness (eating excess food, buying newer clothes that fit, and now paying more for the same clothes).
With summer winding down to a close and courses starting again in a matter of weeks, Jordan and I took our last run away date for the summer. I realized I didn’t have any footage of the Wisconsin Countryside so here are your cows, corn, barns, and forests.
Another fairly easy day, though the mental games of the duration are starting to be played against me. Finished the book of Romans today and am continually challenged by the apostle Paul. This is the part Ive been working through today, We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. For even Christ did not please himself Romans 15:1-2.
Today went pretty normal. I have been spending quite a bit of time seeking the Lord as to why He has burdened me so right now. For the time being I have been left without a solid answer from Him, but God has been so good in reminding me of promises Ive made to Him and also the promises of His Word.
Everyday until this is done I will write something, not exactly sure what it will be yet, but I will write about it. Write the process that the Lord is taking me through and the things He is revealing to me. As of now it has just been a lot of prayer for people I know and things going on around me and the world. Im really excited to finally be asked to do this!!
So thats about all I have for today. It just felt like any other day. I stocked up on juices and got a new water boiler so I can have good tea again. These posts will get less vague over time, dont worry.
