Hello My Friend, it's been a long time!

I want you all to know I read your blogs regularly.

I know I don't updated often especially as of late. Truth be told I haven't even had a desire to blog lately, I've often thought about just deleting the blog and moving on but can't bring my self to do it. I'd miss the avenue to vent or would I?

Life goes on, whether I blog or not ;) yet here I am and much has changed over the last couple months. I've read some really incredible books, life changing even. I'm still studying Grace, and honestly could probably do it for the rest of my life, I have had rabbit trails of study, usually sparked from Grace studies lol. If your interested in some good reads check out; The Bible - God, Ragamuffin Gospel - Brennan Manning, Reason for God - Timothy Keller, Putting Amazing Back into Grace - Michael Horton and I am currently reading Counterfeit God's - Timothy Keller.

Work has had its ups and downs, this past summer was one of the slowest in 3 years, but were back into FULL swing Sept, Oct and Nov so far. Oct was so busy I really don't even know where it went. Tom and I have been toying with a few different thoughts, should we get a shop, should we hire someone, how far and often should we vacation :P Speaking of Vacation I'm SUPER STOKED to be going to Naslund's retirement game on Dec 11th were flying down Saturday morning and flying home Sunday morning so it's a quick trip but will be fun fun fun fun! Sushi for lunch. Game at night then pull an all nighter doing whatever the heck we want haha.

Christy and I want to buy a house, were looking at a few options but were not sure whats happening on that front right now. We really need to fix up/paint the trailer and go from there. Also amazingly enough my lovely wife has asked me to buy her something, and of course it happens to be costing at a minimum 10G. The shocker is that she never asks me to buy her anything I send her away for the first time (not by my choice) by herself (with her mom) on a Vacation to Edmonton mall and tell her she needs to spoil HER and she comes back spoiling me and the kids. She just won't do it. So I'm gonna do it for her, we talked about buying a brand new Ford Fiesta. But I think she's changed her mind now and wants a mini-van, seems more practical for our life at the moment. So were vehicle shopping right now..

T is in grade 1 and doing really good, he's a smart kid which he gets from him Mom! Liv is going to strong start and enjoying her time with mommy. They're both growin like weeds and are super fun and are REALLY good when they're SLEEPING ;-)

Life has been going good, can't complain - nobody really listens to that anyways ;)

That's all for now I've gotten tired of typing haha I'm going to bed.
Blessings my friends see ya again when I pop my head up!

Psalm 62:1

"My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him."

It's amazing how the right scripture at the right time can bring everything to an amazing re-focusing in your life. I've been crazy busy with work literally working 12-16 hour days easy. I've been using it as an excuse and my devotion time has been suffering. I've been so tired, so worn out and couldn't put a finger on why.
"MY SOUL FINDS REST IN GOD ALONE"
The truth is I'm warn out and tired because I haven't been eating, I've let my my sword sit and get dull. In turn I've been suffering because of it, getting weaker and weaker. I know that I don't "have" to spend time with God, but I choose to I want to, because the truth is "MY SOUL FINDS REST IN GOD ALONE" My strength comes from God.

Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
Psalm 73:26
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

I find my STRENGTH in God alone, I can't rely on my own strengths they will fail every time, it is in His word and in His presence that I am rejuvenated and my strength comes from him!

Psalm 119:103
"How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!"

Blessings friends!
