Calgary and Ambrose and Scotiabank

Hello to all you who read this. I got some exciting news, about one more month till school starts! Okay maybe a month and a half, but I'm so excited! I really can't wait to start up a routine with school and work and studying.

That's right, I'm working but not at the Cheesecake Cafe! I found out that I'm not the best at multitasking. Like I can do it, but I seem to always forget things which doesn't work when you need to re order a steak that will take 10 more minutes to cook. The hours also weren't the best ever. So I've switched fields and gone into banking. I'm actually just a teller at a Scotiabank near my place. It's only been a week and I'm enjoying it, well as much as I can you know. There is a lot to learn but it'll be good. The first four weeks are full time training then after that I will be working casual just in time for school. I really, really, hope this works out and I can't see anything hindering the process. Only time will tell but as I've said before I'm just excited to see things moving along.

Now I need a girlfriend ;) Hahaha. Just playing, I'm patient and not that desparte.

Anyways, tomorrow is a special day, it's my dad's birthday, so I would like to wish him a very Happy Birthday, ALMOST 50! Congrats!

As for Calgary, I'm really enjoying it, it's been great. I've met a lot of cool people which always helps plus I'm living with one of the coolest aunts ever! I love being able to see the mountains off in the distances, mountains complete me. I can't wait for this upcoming snowboarding season which reminds me I need to pick up my snowboard in Edmonton.

I found the church I'll be attending, it's First Alliance Church which is affiliated with the school I'm attending so that should work out great since they are related.

Anyways if your in Calgary give me a call or text and I'll see what I can do (403) 797-0319

Grace and peace.

Back in Canada!

Yikes, it's been way over a month since my last post, so I guess I can bring everyone up to date with what's going on!

Well I'm happy to say that I'm finally situated in Calgary! My Aunty Kim was generous enough to let me stay with her until school starts up in September. After an adventurous couple of years it's nice to know I'll be in one place for an extended period of time and not have to think about leaving everyone once again!

Some other exciting news, I got a job! I'm a server at the Cheesecake Cafe! So far I've only had three shifts and they've been great. The people are friendly and the place has a great atmosphere.

Anyways, just wanted to write a quick note. Love you all!

Why am I here?

Hello to everyone! I hope your dong well!

This entry is to hopefully enlighten everyone who doesn't understand why I'm here in the states or maybe you didn't even know I was in the states and I'll let you into what has been going on. Some may understand, others may not.

To start things off I want to address something that even bothered me at one point. Money. Okay, so I have plans to go to college in September with the aims at becoming a pastor, that requires money, right? I could have possibly been working for the past 4-5 months already and probably even had the first year paid for in full already. God has bigger plans than just me making money. The only way I would turn down a period in my life where I was able to work, was so that God could do a work in me when all my attention was on Him. Certain events that took place here in Minot were ordained by God and could only happen here in Minot. People's lives were eternally changed because I am in Minot. What's one thing that you can bring with you to Heaven, people. I know lives will be changed forever because of the short period I had here in Minot, and for that money has no place on the rank. To me one life saved is worth all the riches in the world.

Another area that I am working on and for sure will always be working on is developing a servant's heart. If there is ONE quality I would want, it takes the top. Out of a servant's heart flows all the qualities anyone would want. In order to become a leader, it requires you to become a servant. To become the greatest you must become the least. It's tough and by no means easy and I wish I was better at it. I know that I've come a long way and I'll continue to grow in that area.

So could I have learned these lessons somewhere else, sure, but God had me learn them in Minot. Why not? I know He's taking me onto bigger and better things and I'm excited about that. It may seem to some people that I move around a lot, but I like it. I love seeing the world and the people in it. I know God is just developing my heart into His for His people from all areas of life. Small towns, big towns, in the country, and cities, they're all His people. It's great.

I hope this gave some insight into what I am doing in Minot. By no means was time wasted I believe that within the short period of time my life has changed in ways that money can't buy, and for that I'm grateful. Love you all and I'll see you around, one time or another.

Canada for the weekend!

I guess it has been awhile since my last post, so here it goes, another one!

So for this past week myself and 7 others from Campus Crusade for Christ went up from Minot and Dickinson to the University of Regina for 5 days. That's right I got to head up to the homeland for a short week to do some evangelism. Crossing the border felt great. It's always cool seeing all the Canadian flags, kilometers, and of course Tim Hortons! The whole point of the trip was to get a Campus for Christ group going in Regina. The Monday we paired up and went on a scavenger hut around the campus to get a feel for it and see what students have to say about the spiritual atmosphere of the campus. For the next two days the eight of us went into pairs, each with a deck of solarium cards. Check out MySoularium for some more information about it. It's basically a picture survey which is designed to open up the conversation for spiritual discussion without being so forceful and giving the person a chance to discuss where they are in life. It is amazing. We also met with people from Regina and others from Saskatoon to see where the next step is to get a group going. I got to meet and live with a lot of amazing people who are on fire for God, it was great.

Anyways, I've just been working out lately, playing basketball. Enjoying this time with my family before I'm off again. Anyways, I'll be posting a little more often lately as there are some thing I want to share with you!

I'm out.

Remember love God, love people.
