Facing the Giants

I finally watched 'Facing the Giants.' Yes....I am way behind. The movie came out in 2006 I think! But God's timing is perfect...always. I really needed this movie last night.

If you haven't seen the movie....you need to! I am not going to spoil it for you.

What I got out of the movie was that when we live a life that honors God in all we do, God shows up. Nothing is impossible for God. I have felt like Satan has been throwing roadblock after roadblock in my way as I try to move into ministry....roadblocks that in my human-ness seem impossible to overcome. But I want to put Satan on notice here and now.... "I am going to praise God when I win...and praise God when I lose. Your roadblocks will NEVER stop that! I serve a BIG God....and NOTHING is impossible for Him!" I completely, 100% believe that God wants to use me in a big way to reach people who have yet to know Him. God will take care of the roadblocks....big things are going to happen.....and God will get ALL of the glory!

My favorite quote from the movie is one that is easily missed. The coach is huddling with the team before a game and says to them "Stay focused, Play hard, Honor God." That is my new personal vision statement!

Stay Focused
Play Hard
Honor God

I'm probably going to get in trouble for this.....

I had no idea that Greg, Brian, Eric, and Scott were part of an 80's Glam Band!

Bait and Switch

This video is hillarious! The Bible certainly has it's share of soap opera style drama.....this story is a good example.

Cafe Java

I am in Toccoa today. I spent the morning with a home inspector checking out our new digs. The inspection went pretty good. Then I went by here to see some friends. The rest of the afternoon, I have been sitting in Cafe Java, sipping a cinnamon carmel latte (delish!), eating a piece of homemade chocolate cheesecake (incredible deslish!), and working (engineering work). I have a feeling this is going to be one of my favorite hangouts. It is very cool....easy going.....great music.....very cool vibe. I am meeting this guy in about 45 minutes to check out some locations in Toccoa for our new site.

Geekin' ain't easy....

I admit.....deep down I am a geek, nerd, brainiac.....choose your term. I mean really....you don't become an electrical engineer because you think it's sexy! So when I saw this Dilbert comic, I realized "That was me once upon a time!" Luckily I found Amy who has a strange attraction to my geeky side!

Toccoa Life Group

I finally got to make it to Toccoa to meet with one of the life groups that we have there. It was awesome! I met Bryan and Kelda at Bryan's office and followed them to Stacy's house.....which turned out to be a very good idea. If I had tried to make it there on my own, they probably would have had to send out a search party for me 'cause I would have gotten lost for sure! Bryan gave me a respectable amount of crap because I was late which I graciously accepted but was quick to push off onto some Sunday afternoon drivers on Hwy 123.

Anyway, the people in this group were so cool! It wasn't long that we were chatting away, joking, laughing and really having a good time together. I love meeting new people and these folks made me feel totally welcome. Besides Bryan and Kelda (whom I already knew), there was Stacy (he was the host home), Robin, Doug & Lisa, and Jason & Jennifer. We had a great time....and I can't wait to get back together!

I think I was the only GA TECH fan in a room full of GA BULLDAWGS.....and they still accepted me! Need I say more?

"No, how about $Y?"

Wooooo Hoooooo! We have a contract on a new house! God is good! The counter offer took awhile....but it was a very good counter and we took it.

Once again....God had it all under control!
