The Risk of Love

So for those of you who don't know, Courtney broke up with me a few weeks back now. I must admit, it is quite hard when you feel one way, and the person you're with feels a different way. It hurts and there's no denying it.

When a person steps out into a position of opening up to someone intimately and allows there heart to be put into that persons hands, there is always the risk of getting heart broken and hurt. But it is the risk we run when getting into the relationship game. I was single for about four years before this relationship and I must say, it was worth the broken heart and the risk. I'm sure that I will get back into a relationship when the right girl comes my way. There are those who are scared of intimacy and jump from one unhealthy relationship to the next, just because they can't stand being alone and yet they can't seem to openly get to the point where they put their trust and their heart in the other persons hand. Others don't even bother trying at all and just enjoy staying single there entire lives, because they're just not willing to take the risk.

Life is full of risk though. In fact a life without risk is rather boring and unfulfilling. I for one will take that risk once again when the time comes, because without taking the risk, sure you'll never get hurt, but you might also miss out on something really fantastic and fulfilling as well.

Hope all is well with everyone out there.
Take care and God Bless. Till next time.

It's March

So it's been a very long time since i last posted on this thing. I just haven't been making time to post. But there is much to talk about.

For the last month and 21 days i have currently been on subaticle at Scheffer Andrew taking some time off instead to work at my church, The Salvation Army E3C. They had opened up a warming center at the beginning of winter and needed someone to cover shifts after a man quit and they found themselves short a man. So I came in to the rescue after some prayer and deliberation and found that God wanted me to go cover the shifts. It's interesting work. i just pretty much sit around and look after homeless people from 11PM - 6AM in the basement of our church. We serve soup and other goodies and have coffee and juice out all night. As much as it sounds like an easy job, which it is on some nights, it is probably one of the most difficult jobs i have had. God is stretching and growing me in new and wonderful ways through it. But it is a difficult thing to turn someone away, because they are to wasted to come in. In some ways the job is like looking after little children. Although the average age is probably people in there mid 30's, many of the clients we have have no clue how to act mature and civilized. Not that they're all like that, in fact some of them are more respectful and wise than many of us living in homes. However there are those who just have gotten use to living on the streets and have no respect for rules or authority. Free living they claim. But a life in bondage to alcohol and drugs, so much so that it has literally stripped them of everything, is the last thing I would call living free. Either way there are some very good people that stay at the center who just simply can't find a place to take them, weather it be that they are to young or have bad credit. Not all the people i meet do struggle with addiction in there, but one thing I can say is that once i've got to know the people in there, I know that they are better than the lives many of them are currently living.

On another note, for the past few months i have been in a relationship with a beautiful woman named Courtney and I'm in love. She has three awesome kids, one boy and two girls. There names are Taylor, Emile, and Chevayah. I like them a lot. My relationship with Courtney is unlike any other I've been in before. It has its ups and downs, but what real relationship doesn't. Sometimes I'm not sure what to do, cause this is the first real relationship i've been in with a woman, but I just put my trust in God through it all and stay by her side through the ups and downs, trying to be a loving boyfriend.

It's an amazing thing that right around the time I started seeing her was about the same time I started at the warming center. Where, like I said, it's teaching me to deal with people with the mentality of children and then with Courtney, she has children. So it's quite an adventure and a trip. The other day we just went out for Emiles' 5th birthday to Chuck-E-Cheeze. It was fun. But I've always been a sucker when it comes to confrontation and sometimes you need to lay down the law with the people at the center and children as well. A loving parent disciplines their children, not because they hate them, but because they love them.

Other than that hope some of you still check on this blog once in a while, even though it's been months since my last post. I might post more often here, now that I have the internet at home once again and just bought a new laptop. Oh yeah I just bought a new laptop as well. It's an iBook G4. It's a bit older. but Ryan gave me a good deal at Westworld on it.

Anyway till next time take care and God bless.

White Poppies

What is everybodies thoughts on this? (check link above) I for one think that the Legion is just pissed about the few quarters they'll miss out on. I mean come on is it disrespectful to want peace and yet remember our veterans at the same time. Isn't that what they where fighting for? I dunno, please feal free to leave a comment on this after reading the story.

Winter Wonderland

Well at the last meeting at work last week the developers from United Inc. decided to roll the dice and continue with the road. Fate it seams has had there roll come up snake eyes. With a quite a few inches of snow on the ground, this looks like the end of our construction season once again. I'm kinda looking forward for work to slow down. Of coarse it has been on my mind the last while to go to school to take Pastoral Studies. I'm not realy sure how to afford it, but I don't have any debt so I suppose I could look into getting a student loan. Any advice from anyone on that?
Your input would be appreciated.

Well I'm back Chums. Let's do this!! JAAAAY-SUUUN PYYY-YAAALLL!!!!

Well folks, I'm finally back.

It's been awhile since my last blog update. Work has been super strenu (hmmm not sure how to spell that)... busy these last three months. I finally got my own site all to myself and now I just found out that the last week of work in the cold rain was probably all for nothing, as the winter is almost here. And then just today I find out that the entire site has not yet been approved by a certified engineer. WOW three months into work and still no approvals. The whole thing is pretty much built except for the road which I'll probably have to redo next year as the conditions are getting bad for paving this year. Oh well, I get paid by the hour anyway.

The new truck is working fine, and it better be for the price I paid for it. Only thing is, with such an expensive vehicle, I'd like to keep it in top notch shape, unfortunately with all the mud we've been working in, the interior is already quite messy and I haven't even hit 6000 km yet. Guess that's what happens to a work truck.

God put in on my heart to start a recovery group at my church on Wednesday night's. It's basically a focused twelve step group, only very biblically based. There are many scriptures and other goodies we have to read and discuss about, while we are getting into opening up about our past hurts, habits, and hang ups. This is a new thing for me and I am quite excited to facilitate such a group. Last time I went through this program, it helped me deal with a lot of issues from my past.

I'm also preaching a sermon this Sunday at my church. God gave me a message for myself, but then I felt like he wanted me to share it at the church. So I talked to my pastor and he gave me the ok. Usually if someone from the congregation gives a sermon, the pastors are gone on vacation or at a retreat or something. Not for me though, I'm gonna get to have them sitting front row... NO PRESSURE!!! But really I'm pretty hyped about it because I believe God has put it on my heart and if it's from God I know all will go well. Those of you who pray, please pray for me, that I wouldn't let my own pride or ego get in the way of what God wants to say.

I have been doing a lot more writing this year at home on my Mac. Stay tooned for some of that stuff later on this next year maybe. With the season coming to a slow down at work, I look forward to begin posting again more often. Hope there's still some readers left out there.
