Back In Time

Have you ever gone somewhere you haven’t been for a really long time, and all of a sudden you start to think back to when you where their, 10, 15, 20 years earlier.  Well I did that today, I went to talk to someone today in NYC, right across the hospital where I had probably half of my surgeries. I walked into the hallway where I had most of my appointments and I remembered being their as a kid, having to go and see doctor’s.  Sitting in the lunch room, because sometimes I was their for most of the day, and than their where times when I would have to stay in the hospital for surgery, so I was their for more than a few days.  Those memories come back to you, than you realize from where you been, to where you are now, and you realize that God has brought you a long way.  You remember what your parent’s told you about having the doctor’s tell them that you may eventually be brain dead, and that the best option for them would be to put you into an institution and walk away.  Though 34 years later, you are a evangelist traveling all over the North East, Giving your testimony of what God has done in your life.  Which I am grateful and thankful to God for, and I am excited about what it is that God has for me, for my present and my future.  Though regardless of what does happen, I know that God has a plan and a purpose for my life.  Jeremiah 29:11 Remember that whatever your past is, whether it’s bleak, dark, not wanting to look back at it, because of all you been through, or whether it’s a bright, joyous, happy, past.  God has a plan for your life, and He will lead and guide you to whatever He has in store for your life.  He will use your life, to encourage and inspire others.  Remember, GOD LOVES YOU.

Mothers Day,

It's a few weeks away yet, though May is always a happy and sad time of the year for me, and for my dad.  One because we are celebrating his 80th birthday this year, and no I am not a lot older than I really look, I really am only 34.  If you want to know how that happened, talk to my dad, thats why it's happy the reason it's sad is because this year, will be my Mom's ninth year in Heaven, not only to we celebrate Mother's day, we also would celebrate my Mom's Birthday.  In 1 Corinthians 13 their is a verse that my Mom would quote at the end of it, where it says we may see in a mirror dimly but then face to face; now I know in part but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.  I like that verse because the meaning behind it is this, their are times in our lives when situations, happen, and we don't fully understand why that happened my Mom passing away for example.  Though when we get to heaven and we see Christ face to face, we will fully understand why these situations happen in our lives.  Why was I born with a birth defect, why did I have to deal with everything that I have in my life, how did I NOT give up on God, how did I survive 68 operations.  We all have questions about our life, it could be small it could be something big, but eventually we will know the answer. 

What God did in Maine

You get in contact with a Pastor up in Rumford ME, and he asks you in a year advance can you come up for a four day revival service in April of 2011.  So you do, you take that opportunity that God gives you, but like everything else, you wonder, what is this going to be like, how is this going to come out, what is God going to do in these meetings, and through me.  You never done anything like this in your life, so your in a whole new ballgame with what God has for you to be doing.  Your like peter, you take that step out of the boat, heading towards Jesus, thankfully I didn't look around, nervous afraid about what was going to happen around me.  I laid everything at his feet, and thank God he helped me speak, his words, to the hearts and the souls of the people that where up in Rumford ME.  God did some amazing things in those 4 days and I believe He will continue to do great things in Rumford ME, but God used his vessel.  We just need to know when He calls us to do what Peter did get out of the boat, God calls us, and wants us to do things for his honor and glory, but God don't force us either.  We have to do our own action, move, and obey what it is that God wants us to do, listen to His Voice.
