Chicken-Q, Family, and God

Hey....back for day 2!!

Well, after I blogged yesterday, I really felt great to be getting back into the whole "blog realm". I found out it really helps me chill out and not stress because it gives me somewhere to put my thoughts down with an opportunity for an outside opinion that I can delete if I don't like it!! HAHA. Just kidding.

Seriously though, today went really well. For those of you who don't know, I have an amazing opportunity to go to Nicaragua this April for a week on a mission trip with my current church. I've had amazing experiences in the past going to Dominican Republic, and I think God is going to really open doors in Nicaragua for new and great life changing experiences. Anyway......I digress. What does that mean anyway?? "Digress" I don't know. However, once again, I'm off on a tangent.

So today.......our group that is going held a "Chicken-Q" where we sold plates of BBQ Chicken, Baked Beans, Bread, and desert for $7. We sold.......drum role please.........650 PLATES!!!!!! That is INCREDIBLE. This past Wed. we only had 250 tickets sold, so we prayed about it and turned it over to God, and through His help sold 400 additional tickets!!! So I am super excited about that!! That will help subsidize the cost of the trip a TON. We are also having a spaghetti lunch this Sunday after church where we will be doing the same thing - selling plates.

Family.......My mom and older sister are driving over for the weekend because my sister is throwing her sister-in-law a baby shower. We all grew up together, so it's like a family thing, and that's why my sister and mom are coming. Anyway, I got off the phone with my younger sister not long ago, and they said that they would get up here at about 4pm. So, it's 1pm now, and I haven't been to sleep since last night at work.......therefore......I'm going to bed right after I finish this.

Finally, God........He is amazing. I know how people read statements like that, and they will immediately skip over this paragraph, because I used to do the same thing. But now that I am truly living for Him, and I know He has an awesome plan for my life, all I can say is that He is amazing. So skip over if you want, but never forget His awesomeness.

Ok, so that's it for now. There's always a possibility for me to write later, but I doubt it. However, please leave some feedback. I don't care if I haven't talked to you in 10 years, and you just so happened to stumble on my blog and you think I don't want to hear from you.....you're wrong. I want to hear feedback, and I appreciate each and everyone reading this. More to come later.......

Live for Him,
Stephen
