Its been a while since I have posted. Since then my world has been changed and is better. I stopped being a Christian and started following Jesus. I am not the best follower but I am trying. I am using what Jesus gave me to share with others, I am treating my wife the way I want to be treated. I am really looking at myself more about being the change that will help others. Jesus said the world will know we are his followers by how we love one another. I hope to be that love that someone needs. My beautiful wife has also opened up her home and share what she has. In the future we will be moving to northwest. I am looking forward to see what new adventures that Jesus will have for me.
Part of me is planning on doing things and part of me is wondering what will actually occur. I can say this last year I was planning on doing combat ministry not be a guy who just simply wants to serve Jesus by serving those around me. Jesus said that when I serve those around me that I am serving him. That is something I want to be doing.

Wind in the trees
It’s been a while since I have blogged. Wow things have picked up and things are different for me since I last blogged. I am learning to be a Follower of Jesus without the usual christianese stuff from my culture. I am enjoying time with my wife as I am training her to be fit and healty. There is a huge story behind why this newsworthy. I am enjoying SGU and actually some good TV shows. School has stared for me again, another 8 week class. Awanas started as well, I am teaching with Mary my lovely wife. I also want to blog at least 2-3 times a week.
Why list all of this stuff?
In order to tell you that the Lord is the reason for all this being pulled off. I am a good at stuff, but not that good. I am learning to see how God speaks and moves in life around me. I want to be apart of that. The presence of God is everywhere and because of that I desire to be more. I hear my Lord (John 10) when he speaks to me via his Spirit its wonderful. Today I learned that when you don’t listen and obey your heart becomes hard. In my job as Soldier and Chaplain’s Assistant, I have experienced this one truth..
Either you will love the Lord and other more as you experience giving grace to others.. or you lose your idea of what God is cause of all the dark and twisty stuff.

Statements on Knowing the Lord Jesus
What does being a Servant of the Lord Jesus look like?
For one it means not only following the teachings of the Lord Jesus but knowing him. Knowing him in the sense of being in relationship with him. King Jesus tells us in the scriptures that there will be a day when all come to the feast in the Kingdom (Luke 13:29).
But not all person who say they know him will be able to attend it.
I have often question that.
The why…. Then one day the Lord taught it to me.By this simple question do I really know the Lord Jesus and follow him? Do I trust in him alone and not myself ?(Prov 3:5) Do I trust him to bring things to pass? (Prov3:6)
If I do know him then I should not be afraid. I know for myself I am not afraid of not knowing him. See no matter what I believe in Him. He is real and has plans for me.

Purposes
I used to sit and wonder about my purpose in life. At first I thought it was to be a great Warrior and person. I thought wow I could do this or that. I am so this or so that. Till I realized how empty I was. Then I tried to find religion. I tried most of the isam's, from the east to the south. Then I tried not to believe untill it happened.
Jesus crashed into my darkness. The life I lived was so over.... that was a good thing.
It took sometime but the I started to see the purpose in my life. It was to serve the Lord Jesus and those around me. The great thing is now I know purpose. It is to have a relationship with the Lord Jesus. Now you may ask how is that done and what do you mean Jesus crashed into darkness?
Hint: All is not what it seems. This life is so much more than what you think it is. There are things going on in places unseen and freedom from the worst of your behaviours.
Until next time

New Directions
Today is new direction for me. I feel that all of the years of writing in a Journal about my walk with the Lord needs to be put here. The reason ? I dont know all I know is I do this as an act of faith in the Lord. I feel the Spirit of God leading me to to this. So here is the first the one! Going in a new direction while following the Lord.
