| Well Thanksgiving break is over and it back to school...I had a really good break tho...dispite working 21 hours in three days...and working on a presentation all break...it was really good... I got to see some family that I rarely get to see and some cousins that I have never see before...It is kinda different being around that side of the family because all my first cousins are ten years older than me and married and have kids and my second cousins are about ten years younger than me so all that is left are my sister and me in the middle...Thanks mom and dad...lol working was ok...it was a good change to have rather than just sitting at home eating all the leftovers...which I am really good at...lol...and I get to work a whole bunch more over Christmas break...Yayy...can't you hear the excitement in my vioce... Thanksgivving dinner was really good too...of course...my grandma made sure there was all my favorites there...homemade noodles, her apple pie, and of course green bean cassarole...then on Black Friday, my mom makes dinner at home just for us which is good becuase i get to have thanksgiving twice...lol...and my mom and dad went to walmart at 5 in the morning while I slept... So its back to school...I got lots to do and so little time to do it in...Which probably means I should stop procrastinating and get some stuff done.... Remember to always wear a helmet when you ride your bike... Justin | | |
| So 20 doesn't feel any different than 19, but it sure sounds wierd when I say it...I was thinking a few days ago at what has happened to me this past decade...and ya know...there has been some pretty amazing stuff that has happened...let me explain... The greatest and most wonderful thing that happened was that I was saved in this decade...I was saved when I was 12 so I am only 8 years old spiritually...everything else from there has been nothing but God lead...I can not thank God enough for all he has given me...an amazing family, amazing friends, an amazing life... Another thing is that God brought a person in my life that I know is teh reason I am who I am today...He was my pastor for the past 8 years...He mentored me and showed me the respect I need to give God...Tim, thanks so much for being a vital part of my life...You showing me that being all God would have me be and listening to him has made all the difference in the world...miss ya and love ya... I did all the churchy stuff like get baptized, get sanctified, become a member, recieved a local ministers liscence, and accepted a call into the ministry...I can't explain how much all those things have made a difference in my life and in the lives of the people around me...God really jsut blows me away sometimes with his love and goodness...we are so undeserving of it, yet he FREELY gives it to us... I got to go on two missions trips, one of which I got sanctified on and was out of the country in the Bahamas, and I got to go out of the country again for my senior trip to Mexico...My other missions trip was to Racine, WI which was very rewarding because I got to interact with inner city kids who are very underpriviledged and rejected...God really showed me how furtunate I am to have a loving family who supports me in whatever I do... I also got my first girlfriend, fell in love, and made some lifelong friends...In every single one of my relationships, I would have to say that God has allowed me to eperiece just about every single type of outcome from one that is possible...You have your cheating, your being used, your long distance, your immature (no offence), and your perfect w/ some liltte flaws...I am convinced that God used all of these situations to strengthen and teach me with what I will need when God pushes the one I will marry into my life... Lastly, you can not forget school...Coming to MVNU has been such an incredible experience that I will cherish forever...I know I have grown so much in Christ in the year and almost a half that I have been here...One major thing that God has done for me is he has confirmed my call into youth ministry...I will always remember that day bucause it is the first time I can remember that I hardcore cried tears of joy, just praising and thanking God for the call that he placed on my life...The semon was on Moses and I so feel like a Moses...in just about every attribute, but I know God will give me the strength and ability to do whatever he asks of me... Today I got to spend my two decade birthday with my family and my two best friends...I really enjoyed just spending time with the people I care for the most and just having a good time...I look back and think how many amazing things have happened in my life thus far, and can only imagine how much more amazing the next 20 will be...so talk to me when I am 40...and I am sure I will be able to tell you so many wonderful things that God has done in my life...on top of what he has already done... God Bless,

| This week has been such a rough week...Becka's sister, Rachel, passed away on Sunday...and I have been trying to deal with that this past week...I have grown close to her family over the past year and it was pretty hard for me to see her family hurting...To hear how God worked through Rachel before Sunday was amazing...It just proves ever so more that God is never late and knows exactly what he is doing... This week has also been a learning experience for me because I know God has been teaching me some things...I just feel that for the first time I know what a friend is...I look back on this year and see how immature I was in being a friend...God has given me a whole new perspective of what friendship is...Friends have become so important to me as this year has progressed...I know I as well as many of my other friends couldn't have gone through this situation or just the daily situations of school without each other...Thanks so much guys (you know who all of you are) for being there for me and just being there for one another...I love how God reveals things that are so benneficial to your life... I know that Becka and her family still need prayers and I know they appriciate every single one of them... God heals the broken hearted,
and binds up their wounds.
He counts the stars,
and calls them all by name.
How great is our Lord!
His power is absolute!
His understanding is
without measure! -Psalm 147:3-5 God Bless,

| So tomorrow...actually today I will get to see Jeremy Camp, Adie Camp and Hawk Nelson in concert...Ryan, Brandon, and I are going all the way to Anderson, IN to see them...Ryan also gets to see a friend from Wiscosin...When Jeremy came to Sonfest, I didnt really get to hear him because I was working his merchendise table, but I did get to meet him...It should be good times... There is some exciting things happening at New Life...I am interning there and I was placed in charge of the music for the Children's revival that is comming up...I am really excited about it and I know God will use me like he never has gotten to before...Sometimes we feel so inadequate and under qualified for the task God has placed before us...I am so excited about what he has in store for me, but at the same time, I'm scared to death...I'm scared of failing, I'm scared of making my life the way I want it...It's not mine...it's all for God...all my talents, all my gifts, all my LIFE... Mid term break went well...I had the stress of homework lingering over me, but I did need to get home and just relax...things are changing at home...I can't say that I like every change, but some I do like...Pray for my home, my family, my church , and me...Things are rough, but I keep on hearing...The rough spots are when God teaches you the most...I'm ready to learn a lot... God Bless,
Justin | | |
