Change..It can be a good thing.

This past few weeks I've really been doing a lot of thinking about the direction my life has been going. Where my focus and interests were and whether or not they were really in the right places. One thing about canvassing, all of that time spent walking sure gives you plenty of time alone with nothing to do but think and walk. Sometimes that's what you really need..time to just think everything out. Somewhere during all of those hours I finally came to really realize that even though I had convinced myself that my interests and focus's where just fine..they really weren't and it was time to stop ignoring it and do something about it. I guess i just needed something that really spoke to my heart..and I can't even really explain what it exactly was, I do know that I'm working hard on getting things back on track and figuring things out. Nothing is going to really work in your life unless you make sure to involve God, he's the only one that will get you through.

Middlesboro canvassing trip April 2010

This past week I was in Middlesboro KY on a canvassing trip led by the KYTN conference youth director, Pastor Cesar Quispe.
 We were able to get a lot of books into homes all throughout Mboro and we also got out a lot of Discover bible studies.The entire week was a spiritual blessing and I'm thankful for everything that Pastor Cesar talked about in his worships and his sermon sabbath. I improved on my canvassing skills and met a lot of awesome people throughout the week. I will be in Pastor Cesar's summer canvassing program this summer also and I'm really looking forward it.
  I want to encourage everyone that has interest to definitely give canvassing a try, It is a huge blessing!

Spring has Sprung!

Along with all of the beautiful beginnings of spring our house has been getting closer and closer to being finished. It's dried in and now it's down to all of the inside work. We are expecting to be in, in about 3-4 weeks!!
We have a lot of fruit trees on our land already and the list includes Apple, Pear, Peach, Cherry and Persimmon trees. There are also dogwood, redbud, and different flowering trees that im not sure of their names. There is also an old grape vine that mom found, which the neighbors mentioned produces a lot of grapes.
  I've found my favorite part of the property already. The creek that borders the back property line has a sandy bottom and a section of it has a sort of sandy beach with a poplar grove surrounding it. I love going back there to read or just sit and think.
  We've been getting to know our future neighbors. There is a sabbath keeping family who live on a neighboring street and they have a program which helps young adults who have just gotten out of correction centers readjust to living in the real world alcohol and drug free. They had our family over for Easter dinner, a long with a couple of other really nice people from the area. The neighbor right next to us have been really good about calling if they think someone that shouldn't be there is over at the building site or things like that. We've all enjoyed sampling Ms. Jessie's pears which came from our trees. Our neighbors are all very nice people.
 We're all really looking forward to getting moved in and we hope that everyone able to will stop by and visit.     Have a wonderful Spring!
