I am not going to lie. Over the past few months i had hit the lowest part in my walk with God. Even though life was going really good u would be surprised at how numb I had become to God's voice in my life. I am happy to say that I am back on the strait and narrow path. I shouldn't say that because i found in my devotions something very awesome. When i got my focus back in the right direction i decided to start at the beginning of Christ's life. I thought if i was actually going to establish a personal relationship that i should find out what Chrsit is actually like. Bring on the gospels. As i started reading through Matthew i found some really cool stuff. The coolest being the parable of the sower. Now i know i and every other christian has read this a million times but this was the first time it actually had a meaning for me. As you know there are four different people that heard the gospel. The seed sown along the path, rocky parts, thorns, and good soil. I realized that i did not fit into any of the negative categories. Even though i felt like i had strayed so far off the path, i never had actually left it. It was just extremely encouraging to me to know that no matter how def my ears had become to God's voice, he had never stopped calling out for me. I am just though enthused that i actually have started a good realtionship with God where we comunicate everyday, and for those of you who have not yet received this great joy i pray that you will soon get it.

If that isn't an encouraging blog, I don't know what is! Just remember, I've got your back, no matter what!

HI!
Newman, I may have been wrong about you, or I may have been right- up until now. This gives me good insight into the actual depth of Newman character that I previously thought, well, was non-active or non vocal, which ever offends you less. You love to laugh so much and with the type of relationship we have (you know love, hate- you love Drake and I hate that!), I've just never seen this side of you. I like it! Very honest, very open, and I was blessed to read it. Keep it up, man. Carmen

ESPECIALLY THE BOTTOM
ahhh Newman. God is good isn't He... I pray this trip to Peru opens your eyes to that more and more. I pray that he meets yu in such a special and fresh way there.
Enjoy it. can you believe in just a couple short weeks you'll be looking at those ruins yourself, up close and personal - very cool.
Take loads of pictures!!
Hey Newman,
I would like to see a new post on Peru! Got time? You are a different man that I previously thought you were (as my last comment suggested) and I KNOW God taught you some amazing things when we were all there. Loved this post, looking forward to the next one. God bless!
Carmen
