Blog Time!

Man, this is crazy! I thought i would never do this but now i find that i type faster than i write so this is pretty cool. I never thought I would journal let alone blog, but here goes nothing!!!

Had a great weekend, kicked it off with going to the "Sweet Corn Festival" in urbana, illinois with some of the group from Excel (which is our young adult/ college group that meets every monday @ 7pm at the Hub (located on springfield and gregory) just thought i would let you all know :)

The corn was amazing! i sprinkled some salt and pepper on mine and it was GO TIME! it was delicious! we then heard some really funky music and naturally im drawn to funky music so we walked towards the area where the music was coming from. it was now party time! one of the band members came down and started a train and somehow a circle got formed, at that point i couldnt contain myself so i jumped in and got loose! following me naturally my youth students popped in one at a time! it was amazing!

After that, we went to our all night prayer chain.  We split up in groups of 4-5 people and walked on campus to pray for the students and campus.  I was in a group with my students.  We prayed for the Henry Administration building, students and also the administration staff.  it was absolutely awesome to pray with my students for the campus! so much growth!

Saturday-
had a youth leaders meeting about the coming up events and the plans for the next few months. that was awesome. then off to work. after work went to meet some of the fellas to get down on some FIFA 2010! that is the most fun game ever!!! we played 3v3 !!! it was absolutely awesome, it got pretty intense. but after that we went to go eat some apple bees. half off appetizers! lol man what a way to end the night!

Sunday-
helped out with the Excel booth, the school season is just starting so we have the Excel booth out front of the church to create an awareness of a young adults/college ministry.  then church, pastor Grogan had a good message about unity! not a bad way to start the week!

all i could think about is my soccer team and teammates! we had our first game sunday! played a good game, some few things we need to work on, had some bad calls but bottom line is we did our best. we ended up losing the game 2-4 but not bad for a team that has not played more than 2 games together against the 2nd place team. we got a team full of talent, now just going to get things fine tuned, i will be more prepared for the next game! cant wait to see how the season unravels.

Today-
Work- Started off the week with a team meeting! it was great! starting of the meeting with a teaching on loving one another, stop worrying, encourage one another, and unity!  then went into the basics of the meeting.  we closed out the meeting with a positive exercise.  i think the response was great! something we all have to learn is we are a work in progress, change doesnt happen over night, its a process! then had a  great meeting with the owners of the company. it is always a pleasure to meet and discuss business with them! great people!

after work took a nap before going to Excel! it was awesome! Excel was awesome! great message from pastor Terry!

WOW! what a busy day? i love it! living for Jesus is an adventure!
