Hebrews and Valentines

This is my first Blog Post! I do remember telling myself a few years ago that I did not ever want a blog because that was dumb. Well here I am and I want a blog. Oh how we change. I want one now but I am not sure how much I will really like it. It might be an impulse thing for me. So I apologize if you start to read this and I only end up posting like 3 times.

Anyways. I want to throw out the meaning of the little thingy under the title of my blog for you to understand a little. It comes from Hebrews 11:32-34, as you see there. Here is the verse:

And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.

I think it is an awesome verse. It fires me up. I don't want to be the guy living the life he always wanted. I want to be the guy living the life God always wanted for me through faith in his promises. That means it will be a hard life, but, God will use me to do things like that. Conquer Kingdoms, shut the mouths of lions, become powerful in battle and route foreign armies. I want my weakness to be turned into strength. 

So, yea. Thats all the good stuff I have right now. Daily things now.

This evening we put on a valentines day party thing for the single girls of 24/7. We guys just wanted to show them that we love them and we respect them and...yea, somthing like that. Anyhow, my part was to sing a song. It was so hard to pick the song but I finally found one I liked. Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. It went well and everyone liked it. It was definitely difficult to accept all the compliments because I am not, in any way, used to getting complimented much. It was definitely worth it though. I had fun and I am glad everyone enjoyed it. I thank God for the voice he gave me less often than I should. 

Anyhow, thats all I want to write. I really would like this blog to be a sort of update on myself for any family and friends back home who want to keep up with me a little and I want it to be a place where I can share some of the things I am learning and that God is showing and teaching me. So, if it gets long and preachy I apologize. I'll try to keep it relatively interesting and relavant. Being something of an amateur photographer I'll probably be putting pictures on to show off the ones I like. Thats All. Congratulations on making it to the end ^_^
