Question and answers.....not so much

This blog has a more playful mood than the deep and serious questions I usually answer. So, I guess this post is a direct result of my investigative personality. If you don't know me, I'm just going to tell you that one of the things that drives me is figuring out things. It started with my childhood obsession with Legos and I don't think that part of me has ever went away. I like to fix things, one of necessity and two for fun. I always do my research with things from fish tanks to model planes I like to know what is going on. This is one of the reasons being asked so many questions in Bible study really get me excited and most of the time I try to follow up. So, that leads me to another thing that I sought to figure out at one time.....Women....I know really...haha, but in particular the art of picking up women. I know it's hard for you to believe, but there was a time I was much more uncomfortable with even talking to opposite sex. So, back when I was insanely stupid I made this topic an obsession of mine. Not to reveal sources....but I now know icebreakers, keno touch exercises, and ways to close the deal. In that search and through other discoveries about the psychology of attraction I can almost read minds at times. Well most of the time this applies. It happens that in very few cases I have not a clue. I'm just going to be straight, it kinda drives me crazy when I feel like I have no read what so ever. If you know anything about anything, then you realize when your not in control you are at the mercy of where ever that takes you. I guess you can kinda see my logic now. These days I tend to avoid such things, because one things I feel that it manipulates the situation and I desire what is natural.....It is so much easier, and I believe that God is sovereign enough to make it happen if it need to and is in his will. The question we must ask far to often is what if it is in his will for us to remain single. Would Jesus be enough if that was the case?  

God's economy

Well, If you would have asked me a few days ago if I was going to Kenya? The answer would have been not right now. It was 2 whole weeks before I was planning on originally leaving and I was a few hundred dollars short on funds. I tried to get rid of everything I could, but with little success. I will honestly tell you the prayer of my heart was: "God I feel like you want me to do this, I have tried my best, but your going to have to take care of the rest." The next day, I tried some last ditch effort to get rid of something else and again no success. So, honestly I was really irritated. I just wanted to chill out with the guys and enjoy guys night after workout. Later that night, I had a short conversation with some very good friends of mine and they wanted to help. It was enough to take care of what I needed. So, I did what any one would do, when God provides you go. That night I booked my ticket and the next day was able to get the shots I needed in time. There were still other things that came up unexpectedly and the money just came out of no where. Even if more things come up, I know that those needs will be met too. That is just the way that God works! When the gap seems to wide the bridge compensates for it. It was and still is a constant test of my faith, that is part of what makes the whole process so important. If it had not been a struggle, then I would not have had to trust God in the situation and my faith would not have had to Grow. Interesting, this happened all the time in the Bible. So, now here I am leaving October 4th on another exciting adventure with God.
