So I haven't written here in quite awhile. Again as I seem to state again and again where do I begin. I have no job, not much money, but I seem to be heading in a good direction. Well if I have Christ in my heart, I guess no matter what direction I'm going in as long as I am being obedient to his well, I'm going to be alright. Not that life is always easy and fun.

So I'm back doing Younglife stuff. I've been hanging out with the kids and trying to up to the school to meet new kids. All the stuff that comes with being a volunteer Younglife leader. It's been fun and hard. I'm dealing with some of my closest guys going through some tough stuff. They've been tampering with pot and I'm not happy about it but I just keep loving them and tell them to cut it out. I think I'm going to steal it. I dunno...maybe.

I've been looking at the various branches of the military. I believe in this country that I live in and want to give back. Yes I don't always agree with some of the things we do but we are the most powerful and influential country in the world. Being able to serve my country would be a great privilege. At the same time I could get the opportunity to travel and see other countries and various cultures. What an experience. However the training will be tough and rigorous. I'm praying and seeking the Lord about this direction. I just want to be obedient to his will.

I'm starting my own business. Melaleuca: the Wellness Company. I'm really excited because if I really put in some time and effort, I can make some serious money for myself. Now there is only myself so it would be easy to but in that time and effort. Someday I hope that there will be a woman coming down the road but for now I'm staying single. I am taking a long break after my poor track record with relationships. Besides I'm putting the energy into the most important relationship of all: my relationship with Jesus Christ. (Yet I keep seeing really cute girls, DANG IT GOD)

All in all things are going exceedingly well and I'm just taking things one day at a time. There really is no rush. One day at time.

Peace non existent readers.

Mighty and Amazing

Well I've been humbled again and again. I come here to write and my mind just seems to freeze up on itself. I really don't want to be here right now typing. I'd much rather be outside. It's good to be home and getting back on my feet. Yet I'm anxious to get up and out again. All in good time.

I may have a job soon. Market Basket. It's a job and I need the money.

I guess that's all for now

4 Months Later, With a Failure and Redemption

So this is my story: I go out to Nantucket to work as a Younglife Leader. It's fun being on my own and also helping the do the work of the Lord. But as always trials and temptations come. Sometimes we have a choice to make on whether to follow through on temptation. I chose wrong.
About the third week in June I met a girl who was pretty cool. We liked the same music. We liked the same fashion, and just seemed to connect in everyway. But she was lacking in the God department. Yes she knew of God and Jesus, but whether she was willing to pursue him with all her heart well I know that answer now. It was resounding no.
We continued to get to know each other, and it was becoming a distraction to my most important relationship. I started putting the focus on her and not the responsiblities that I had come to perform on Nantucket. Then I got mad and angry when I was corrected. "Who were they to correct me?" I was perfectly happy.
Then about the end of July we moved in with each other. For a month we lived in the same room and slept in the same bed. And God began to tug on my heart. I didn't listen for the longest time. Not until I started getting sick and getting headaches on a regular basis.
One night I was just laying in the bed sick to my stomach and my head pounding with a head ache and the Lord came and spoke to me.
"Daniel", he said, "This isn't where I want you. This isn't how your supposed to be living." A week and half later I was off island with all my stuff.
It still wasn't easy. I have a problem forgiving myself. Yet it's so essential for me to continue living having forgiven myself.
This past Monday I did just that. I feel like a new man. I feel exited again. I feel like God has gotten a hold on me and my life in a big way. I'm determined to give my life 100% over to him holding nothing back. I'm learning and I'm ready to make mistakes. God help me!!

Nantucket!!

Alright guys this is the adventure of lifetime. I'm done writing for now but. I will be constantly updating this and posting pictures!! Peace
