Done with the Journal and I think I'm done with everything else. YAY!!

Dr. Lance Wallnau

I found this amazing prophetic teacher off of Morningstar's website. His name in Lance Wallnau and I found out he has his PHD so don't forget to add the "DR." title in front of his name.

He's was teaching this long message thing and he does not look like a normal teaching. He just wearing some Hawaiian shirt that's unbutton with a dark, dirty shirt underneath. It's slightly funny but when he preaches, he speaks with so much authority and power and his teachings are so insightful and captivating. It's crazy the wisdom and knowledge he operates in. And they're things that you reply with "duh" but its they're just packed with key points to further the Kingdom.

Second is finished!

Field Story -   We do not have an action problem. We have a location problem.

_1 Corinthians 6:18_
_Flee Flee Flee Flee from from from sexual sexual sexual sexual immorality immorality immorality immorality!_
It doesn’t say flee from sex but flee from sexual immorality
Define Sexual Immorality: Sexual acts out of the confines or marriage. God created sex!

What would God say - RUNN!! Don’t flirt with, don’t play with the boundaries because this is a dangerous thing.
Electric Fence Story - Even getting close or messing with the line is dangerous.

_All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body._

God doesn’t point out sexual sin more than other sins because he’s a kill joy, its because the toll it has on us.
The problem isn’t pregnancy or STDs, its not the fleshly problems. Its a soul problem.  You kill and tear your soul.

First Half of Message

Not For Rent

Set to give you the marriage and life

Seems repetitive - You mostly know my message or have heard it - Explain more of the Why

Can’t we agree that this is self explanatory and basic.
“Save sex until the confines of marriage!” “Don’t forget to breathe!”
Is it working? Are families happy?

So if God saw all this and could say one thing, what would it be?
And remember that God created you and loves you. What would he say? Turn to 1 Corinthians 6:18

Curfew or Assignment Deadlines or Candy!
Life has limits but if you go past these limits a little, the consequences aren’t as severe or dangerous.

When it comes to sex, its not slap in the hand or an oops or mistake. The problems aren’t just bad.
They’re extraordinarily bad! They have the potential to impact your life significantly.

Imagine camping your camping with your parents. Fire = good in fire pit Fire = bad in the woods

Journals

So Mara is making us create this blog things for our campaign so I thought I would use my own blogger to display the majority of them.

Guitar Fun

I picked up a job at Grand Blanc Music last month and it's been fun but I didn't expect it to be so difficult at times.

I have this student that learn so very quickly. When ever I have a something to show or teach him, he's learns within the first ten minutes and then we're  left with the rest of lesson for me to figure out what to teach him. I wonder if he knows I'm clueless when it comes to teaching Hard Core Metal Rock.

But its all been fun, especially when the students take a while to learn so we can take our time learning a single song. I didn't want this job to be too time consuming.

Not for Rent

This is all convenient...This month's topic for SLAM is dating, relationships (not relationshiops),  and our favorite thing to talk about, sex! So I may have to talk about this whole Bieber thing when I preach and try to redirect and instruct how to love at your age appropriately and to explain where those feelings come from. And mostly explain that the reason you search for love and are always left empty is because you can't fill a God shaped whole, only God can fill that void. When you hear about young, not even teenagers, searching for love in sex or other ridiculous ways, it breaks your heart but it just shows that they are longing for something too. Thank You Jesus!

Oh the students

So continuing from yesterday's rant about Junior High students and Justin Bieber...

I think the students are intrigued by him and his music because it is in all of us to want to be loved and to have the passion and romance. And he's showing them how to and that it can be done on a fake and hollywood level. 

And also, student always want to be older than their true age, which is funny because it reverses when you get older. The younger crowd want to be part of something more mature and bigger than they truly are and Bieber brings in to their level and shows that love in real when you're 12, but he's naive and innocent because he couldn't help or describe to you the first about the big LOVE word.

Really!?

So Lindsay and I wanted to be culturally involved with our Junior High students so we checked out one of the new artist of their day: Justin Bieber. 

I can give the kid props for singing, I guess, but enough with talking about love and relationships. What do you know about suppling the needs of someone or even about love. YOU'RE 12!

I don't get what students get out of him.

New Favorite

So I'm a man of repetition. I do a lot of things systematically and routinely. For example:

I always have black coffee bright and early in the morning but that's not too strange.

I order the same thing at Big Boy and most restaurants to the point where they already know my order. Potato Pancakes and Short Stack!

And now introducing:

I get a snickers bar from the vending machine at our break times

I think its exciting!

Endings and Beginnings

As the semester is ending and everything is being rushed to be completed, there's another side that is soon to come about. 

I've done really well this semester of not bombarding myself with extra things at church or work or any other fun things. Instead, I reply with, "I can do that in May," or "I can help you at the end of the semester." 

Well, I think I've said that so many times that my load in May is bigger than I can handle or expected. It'll be an exciting change from the "fun" studying and homework-ing to career, planning and teaching but with big change comes a great sense of awareness to new surroundings and new people.
