T.G.I.F.

Well this was a great day overall:

-Went to work, learned more about the espresso bar, and cold beverages (working @ starbucks)

-Almost done w/training, just have a five hour starbucks experience tomorrow

-Got my first paycheck from star bucks!! 

-Met this guy named Chris, he's from L.A, we were just eating and i started talking with him he's studying to be a chef, real cool guy.

-Also met this guy on bart. I didn't catch his name but i'll call him Earl (he looked like an Earl) I was buying my ticket while sipping on some Ice Tea i could tell he wanted some but i did too. So i did what every good person would do, I acted like I didn't see him. I tried, but i couldn't, so i gave him my Iced Tea and $3 that i had. You should've seen his face it was priceless. But what got me is what he said, "wow you made my day! ice tea and $3, this is the best day of my life!!" 

-Went to 7-11 to get a free slurpee (thanks for the heads up Christian)

-Got to go the "The Fuse" and see everyone

-P. Nick revealed his new blog check it out!!

-We had a leadership meeting and P. Nick asked us 2 questions: 1.) Do you still feel passionate about this ministry? 2.) What do you bring to this ministry? (strengths, passions)

-There was this homeless lady that always came in the beginning of the move to CWCM, we hadn't seen her for a while. Spotted her, i believe her name is Kristen or Kris, Manda and I talked with her and gave her a salad that Manda had. She was so happy, we invited her back to church, so pray that she makes it this sunday.

-Got a chance to spend time with Manda (missed ya)

-Talked with my good ol' friend Jason Paez, always knows how to make me laugh! (miss my hyna, haha)

-I'm home, getting ready for bed

Phew, that was a lot, my day in a nutshell! It's crazy how much you can do, how many people you come in contact, and how many lives you affect. Today was a good day.

Questions about LIFE

Ever Just day dream and wonder how life could be if you could live out what really is going on in that head of yours? I guess thats where i find myself right now. I'm preparing for our Life Groups and the base verse is one that we have all have heard plenty of times, "the thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." -John 10:10 I started wondering how would that life look like, the life that is more abundant? The thief, well he is doing a heck of a job stealing, killing, and destroying; but how about us, as christians how are we doing at living our abundant life? a question that i heard last week and it is still bothering me, "What would you attempt for God if you knew you couldn't fail?" with God there is no failing, just lessons learned.

My Bible Journey

Micah 6:8- The Lord expects these three things from each of us: 1. do what is right 2. love 3. live humbly.

Micah 7:4- you were warned, but what did you do heed the warning?

Micah 7:8- The One more round spirit. One of the best messages that we need to tell ourselves and that is "i will get up again."

Micah 7:14-  Who is part of your flock? are you taking care of your sheep? are you a shepherd?

Micah 7:19- definition of mercy!

Hebrews 7:2- 10% of everything, so if anyone has questions whether to tithe of your gross or your net, well here is your answer.

Hebrews 7:6- When you go out of your way to bless someone, your door of blessings opens up.

Hebrews 7:11- Jesus is OUR high priest.

Hebrews 7:16- The way He lived put him in position to be the high priest. What position is your life putting you in?

Hebrews 7:27- Jesus Christ only needed to do things once, he never needed a "do over."

Combo Conclusion!

Hey that's a catchy title, but all the credit goes to P. Ant he made it up on the spot, but i like it. Anyways what is a combo conclusion? well that is what you will be seeing this sunday morning at CWCM. Troy, Amanda, and I will close out P. Ants sermon!! this kind of reminds me of my masters days, but with a new team, different styles, and a new crowd. I can't wait for sunday. I know we all bring a different look to the table, but i believe we can pull this one off. Our main question that we are to think about and speak about is "What has kept you going?" remember to keep us in your prayers as we allow God to show us what we need to say.
