To Be Mayor For a Day

Today I had the privelage of meeting the mayor of Baton Rouge, Kip Holden. I was talking to him about some important stuff, you know football, LSU, some real matters. Now I wouldn't want his job for anything in the world, but I wish I was him on January 7. You know being the mayor isn't an easy task, but it sure has its kick backs. Because he's the mayor he got to be at the national championship game of course (I'm sure the seats weren't in the terrace level) and then he said the athletic department at LSU told him to come by one day and he could just pick out whatever he wanted. Tee-shirts, footballs, autographs, you name it he got it. I wouldn't want his job but I sure would like his benefits. GO TIGERS!!!!

AFRICA!!

Sorry for the layoff folks. I'm a slacker. I just found out today I'm going to Mozambique, Africa through Elevate. I am stoked. It's going to be awesome. Just wanted to send a little update. Please be praying for us. We leave on May 14. Hope to post again soon. Also if anyone knows how I can get my hands on a language learning thing for Portuguese, let me know.

Where have I been?

Yeah so I looked at the last post and said WOW its been a while. It's been an amazing month. Some things God has really been dealing with me about is excellence and discipline. My time has become so crucial and every minute counts. I've been finding myself sleeping in when I should be getting in His presence. I have not been intentional in doing the things I need to get done, which is where the excellence comes in. God was really dealing with me about being excellent in every area of my life. A lot of times I find myself just kind of floating through life with no purpose or focus. I pray for intense focus so I can make use of every minute I have. I also pray that God will not become an after thought in my busy life but He will be the One I pursue most. Sorry I've been gone so long. Please continue to pray for the elevate crew. We need it. Peace!!!

See you at the pole and servolution

That's right two in one day. I've been backed up with stuff to write about but because of certain flaws on my part (see previous blog) I haven't done it. This past week has been slammin. First we had servolution. I was overwhelmed by all the people that showed up to be a part of it. We went out to the city and had a block party, handed out gum at the LSU game, washed cars all over the city, and painted a few houses in the inner city. I believe we are reflecting the heart of Jesus when we serve. The Bible says when we do these things for the least of these we are doing it to Jesus (Matt. 25:31-46). That's some powerful stuff if you think about it. Well a few days after servolution students from around the world met at their flag pole before school to pray. They call it see you at the pole. The picture you see here is St. Amant. Way to represent. It was a great turn out at all the campuses across Baton Rouge, except for Woodlawn. Where you at Woodlawn? Including the four people (Tweezy, Steve Ware, Jarred Ray, and Chris) that showed up the grand total was; 4. Maybe next year. Anyway please continue to pray for our schools. I believe these students can stand up, stand out, and change there schools. Lets believe along side of them for a supernatural move of God across the schools in the Baton Rouge Area. Well hope I don't take this long to blog again. I'm out.

PROCRASTINATION

My dear friends this is what I like to call procrastination. You see I've needed new tires for three months now but haven't done anything about it. The first couple of months I had an excuse, no money. The last month I've had $400 sitting in my drawer which was set aside for new tires. Tweezy and I went to leave the annex the other day when I realized my tire didn't look right. You see that hunk of rubber missing? Yeah, that's not normal. Needless to say I've got new tires now but this could have been bad. On a side note. The reason I haven't blogged in so long; you guessed it PROCRASTINATION!!! Later.

T!

I've been meaning to blog about this for the last few days but I'm a slacker. This past weekend was a hard weekend for me and a lot of other guys. My boy T-Barry (Tyler Barry) found out Saturday he was moving to Illinois and Sunday morning he was on his way. Crazy!!!! Wow is he gonna be missed. He was all about leading the charge at Dutchtown High School and trying to win it (the students) to Christ. Even though it's hard I know that God has called him to Illinois for such a time at this. His purpose is no longer here but there. It's gonna be great to hear the stories of what he does at his new school. Be prayin that he will impact his school for Christ.

Movin On Up

That's right my friends I'm movin on up to the east side, literally. Today I'm moving out to East Ascension. Headin out to G-town. I would just like to say one thing, I hate moving. I didn't realize how much junk I had until we started moving it. I had stuff that I've never opened, nice stuff. Now I have to find a place to store all this. If you didn't know Candace and I are moving in with my parents for a couple of months. That is going to be very interesting. It will be good I guess, cause my mom can cook for us and I don't have to pay rent, but it's going to be very difficult also. When you reach 30, you don't want your mama telling you how to live your life, but she will anyway. So I'm learning to just keep my mouth shut and let her speak her peace. It's also going to be hard on Candace because she is going to feel ackward at my parents house. So pray for her. She's also sad because this is our first home together and we're having to leave it. Look at her face how sad she is. But anyway, I guess I need to go back to work. I had to take a break cause those boxes are heavy. Peace!!
