Joy To The World

So, I was messing around on Lightroom today with pictures we took and I thought I would post this one. Merry CHRISTmas everyone! Don't forget the real reason of Christmas and why we celebrate it! I am so thankful that Christ came down as a child to save us all! God bless you all in this wonderful Advent season!

Family Food Faith

I hope you all have a very happy Thanksgiving! I for one will enjoy the FOOD!!! Mmmmm, there is nothing like a table set with Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, Gravy and of course Sweet Potato pie!  I will confess that I tend to eat sooo much on Thanksgiving that it is painful to sleep at night. Tomorrow also helps me to remain thankful for the amazingness of God's ever present abundant providing grace. Thank you Lord for Family, Food, And Faith!

"Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God." 2 Cor 9:11

Crutches anyone?

   I have been thinking lately on the subject of crutches. What are the things in life that I use to help me cope with things that upset me or trials that are in my life. I have decided to call them crutches. So, Do I walk on crutches daily in my life or do I place my burdens before the feet of my Lord. Unfortuantly, I will admit that often I will run the race of my day on crutches instead of falling into the healers arms. I let things like music, friends and, work take the place of my Lord. 

1 Peter 5:7 says "Casting all your care upon him; for He careth for you." 

He cares about me. Isn't that wonderful! I can go, drop my crutches, and fall right into my Lord's arms remembering that when I do he will strengthen me! 

Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

When peace, like a river!

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, 

when sorrows like sea billows roll; 

whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, 

It is well, it is well with my soul. 

   For myself I find it a constant struggle to let everything up to God. To hand things over to him that I have been praying about for years! When things slip from my hands into His I want to grab those things back. I want more than ever for those things to happen. I want to control my life, but it is so nice to know that whatever happens God is always in control and it will all turn out Well!!!

Laminin

God is so amazing! My mom sent me this video this morning I was completely awestruck at the awesome creator that God is! He sent his son to die for us and holds us together with Laminin.

Colossinas 1:16 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him!

Oh Wow Did I Disappear?

Well, it seems as of late that I have fallen of the globe, but don't worry I am holding on fast with one hand. :) My life has been quite an adventure of late. In the beginning of August I started a new job with a commercial cleaning business and am still working my old job at the industrial shop. It has been a lot of fun working with new people and old friends. It has also put a bigger responsibility on my shoulders of watching what I am doing and guarding my testimony as one of my co-workers is not saved.

 I have had to give  up a lot of things that I love lately to starting with my beloved old '68 chevy truck. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Selling the last physical thing that my grandfather ever gave me, but it was one of those hard decisions that had to be made. Having no time to finish it and knowing that at this point in my life I should not be spending my money on it. Saving for a family and the future is a much better option for me right now.

 One of the other big things that has happened in my life lately is the Lord has lead me to a new church. I am so thankful to be back at an assembly that breaks bread with each other every sunday morning! It has been a blessing getting to know the brothers and sisters there. I am going to a Men's conference with my dad, Jacob and a couple of guys from my church this weekend. Well, I have to get ready to go to work, but it has been a pleasure writing to you all again :) God Bless, Justin

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday to the most awesome mom ever! I hope you have a great day mom! Love you much! Justin

Kayaking

Went Kayaking today and had so much fun! Jacob almost sunk my kayak from all the water he splashed me with! I ended up with about 4 -5 inches of water laying in the bottom of the kayak! It was so much fun! I love getting out on the water! Have any of you ever been kayaking?

We just had a family photo shoot and I though I would share some of the photos with you.

I Should Be Dead

Well, If it wasn't for God's grace I shouldn't even be alive today! This past weekend I was headed to work and hit a 90 degree turn on dirt a little to fast, fishtail, ride up a bank, hit a tree, roll the truck and skid about 75 to 100 hundred feet. The drivers window blew up open my arm and I prolly will not be able to play the guitar for awhile. The worst part was that Jonathan was with me. The first thing I though was "oh Lord not Jonathan!!!" The second thought was not our new truck... God's grace in saving our lives is amazing. I should be dead and so should Jonathan! Thanks to everyone that prays for me on a regular basis!

Please be praying for my Grandfather!!! They took him to the ER and he went limp. He is dying and it is tearing me apart! He was a great grandfather and one of my best friends!
