Turkey Delight

Well Turkey Delight was a huge success. I thank you all for your prayers and support, especially Stephanie and her small group. Except for the fact that they sent all of my knives through the dishwasher (that's a huge no no) they were truly awesome and everything turned out perfect. Maybe the treasure in heaven for us will be a turkey dinner who knows? So now that this whole ordeal is all said and done I am sitting here tonight trying to think of how this project affected me and to be completely honest it did not. I feel the exact same last night as I do tonight and I do not know if this is normal or not. I thought I might feel warm and fuzzy inside you know that really good feeling you get inside of you when you know you sacrificed some of your time for the benefit of others. But there were none of those feelings in my heart tonight. I guess I kind of feel disappointed that I do not have those feelings because they are awesome. I know deep down that God used me to help other people feel good tonight but why doesn't that make me feel good? It is a school project so I have one more paragraph to hand in on this project but I have no clue what to write it about. Overall, I had a lot of fun doing this project over the last 2 days and I had a great time hangin out with Chet for it but for some reason tonight is just almost depressing to me for some reason. Maybe I am just tired and crabby so I am going to head to bed. Thank you all again for your support for this project you filled a lot of very empty stomachs tonight and warmed a lot of hearts. Stay classy my amigos!

Isn't She Beautiful

Well here she is the wait is over. I imagine that the suspense for some has been more than the others. I hope you guys were not expecting a girl or anything well maybe Grace Scheinbien because she is so freakin awesome (we'll have to get together and chat about England and traveling more I forgot what you told me about trains and hostels).

I absolutely love her she is the sexist thing that I have laid my eyes on in a long while but I love her and she loves me it's more a love hate relationship I guess (she already cut me).

The New Love of My Life

Well I cannot begin to describe how joyful my life became today. Who would have thought, me Newman, ending up with something so beautiful and precious. I believe I have finally found the right one. It's like a perfect gift from God that he has graciously blessed me with. She is sleek and sexy and has the most perfect curves. A hint, Andrew and Tyler both know of this love. Another hint, we both love food and we are going to be speding a lot more time together in the next forever. Hopefully until the day that I die. I am so happy that my whole body wriggles right down to my toes. I do not know if wriggles is a word however there are no real words to describe love. Are you curious yet what this new love is? I will tell you all of you, when the time is right. But for tonight I have worked a 13 hour shift and I am quite tired so tired that I cannot type anymore. But to leave you guys with a little suspense...I do have a picture of us that I will post on my blog in the near future. Peace out my Brothers and Sisters and I wish a special good night to the new love of my life, you will be in my dreams tonight.

Desires

I love the idea that God places natural desires within us. All of which have the opportunity to benefit us positively but can also have negative consequences if the desires are used improperly or abused. I love the desire that he places within us for creativity. I have such a passion to express myself through art inside of me that I get frustrated when I do not have the means to do so. I am trying to channel this desire into something more productive and that is learning guitar. One of my goals is to learn guitar before I leave for England and I hope you guys hold me accountable. I also am looking into getting into painting, that inspiration comes from the Schienbeins. I dunno I just have the urge to express what God is doing in my life.

Another desire that I truly thank God for is the desire to be in community. I am in Calgary for this weekend and I am loving it. I really missed out on being in community with these friends in particular. I am also extremely thankful for the community that I have in Edmonton. I believe that God wants us to be in community because we can help each other. It is much easier to deal with your problems when you have friends to help, I think that we learn more about God from each other than we do anywhere else, and I believe that I just plain out have more fun in a group than I do on my own. I believe that as Christians we thrive in community and we can feed off of each other in order for us all to grow.

The final desire that I am thankful for is the desire for intimacy that he places inside of us. He uses this desire to bring people together into strong relationships that honor and please him as well as us. But in addition to the drive towards human to human relationships I also believe that he uses this desire to make us crave a relationship with him and I think that is super awesome.

Overall, desires that we feel are always necessary and they are inside us for a reason; however, we also have to make sure that these desires are being used properly and for the purpose that God intended so we do not end up hurting ourselves. Thanks for listening I do not know if what I am saying is correct that is why I enjoy feedback. Peace out my brothers and sisters!
