More than Butterflies

I look back at my life and I see how much my perspective on what to look for in a wife has changed. Before it seemed like I was looking for that trophy wife that I could go home to and have eye candy to look at. A girl that when she would smile the…

Australia Day 22

There is something about sharing the love of Christ to people that brings an amazing joy to my life. Maybe its just my strong desire to see people experience how much blessings come out of following Christ. Or maybe, It’s understanding the grace and mercy that God has had on my life that causes me…

Don’t wait

All of us have at one point in our lives have wanted to fake our death, go to our own funeral and see who would show up to hear what they would say about us. Would they be good experiences that we shared with others? Or more on the negative side? We all get that…

Just Speak up.

3:30am comes around and my alarm goes off! Time to get up and walk over to get picked up to go to the airport. Who in their right mind sets up a flight that early in the morning? So I stumbled out of bed and met up with Dave the shuttle guy. 4am in the…

I have landed in Sydney.

What the heck am I doing? I really must be crazy to travel all the way across the world with no agenda or plan except to spend time with God and seek His will.. For the next 31 days I am going to have to fully put my trust in Christ. I might end up…

Change for the wrong reasons.

When people change to please other people it rarely lasts. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 I remember a time, maybe many…
