Waiting Room
Well I am having one of those nights where I can't sleep. I fell asleep around four and slept for two hours l, now its 145 in the morning. So I have watched countless episodes of pointless TV shows. So I have found it to be time to be some what productive.
The waiting room for me is by far one of the most uncomfortable spots for me. Let me be honest, I hate waiting and I hate not knowing. I've always been that way in many ways. So when I think of the waiting room I always think of how uncomfortable it is. But I also see you are the first to get the news. Through the waiting period you experience things you might have missed. Waiting sucks, but you just might miss something if you don't wait.
My waiting room with God. Well let me be honest, I hate it and I am uncomfortable. I am naturally a busy body and I want answers. But I also understand it is essential for me to wait. So a few things I do to help me wait.
1. I learn to have fun with it. Several months ago I hated where I was at. Today I see God at work, while I simply wait. I love to explore things. I love to see things and get to know things. I am the person who loves to watch people.
2. I am learning to trust in the unknown. This is hard for me, I kind of like to know what's next. I am the person that goes the same way everytime to a location. On the way to church, I can tell you the time the train comes and blocks my way. I know the time, but if it's early I become frustrated. I have to trust not knowing.
3. The biggest one is I am not in the waiting room alone. I hate to wait alone. The last several months I have been in waiting rooms. I've gone through some testing and I've had to really be open with people. But I've physically been alone in a room, but in sprit I have not been alone. I have co-workers who cheered me on, I had people at church. Most of all I have God.
So I understand the waiting and let's be honest it's annoying! Those who wait are blessed. Alright, I am now tired! Time to sleep!

Weird
We were told to blog about something weird about us. I find it it weird that with in our struggle we fund grace and God opens the door for us to help others. The last month Or so has been an eye opener for me. Turning 30 and going through some personal struggles, God opened some doors for me. That door was its really all about grace and love.
So instead of struggling alone we are called to struggle together. Now that's weird!

The secret
I haven't talked much about it in a public way, but as time goes by I feel it's important. I have ADHD and have learned in the recent weeks how severe it really is when it's not treated.
Growing up I was a ball of energy. Sitting in front of the tv was not something I did a lot. Reading? Haha yeah right. I couldn't focus long enough to really play sports. I was a mess. But not much was done about it. Growing up in the 90's there was such a debate about it. So I wasn't disruptive in school we just didn't seek help.
On top of that I was diagnosed with dyslexia. That was something my parents seeked help on, I got it. I had the best teachers who loved me for who I was. I remember being told I was going to go far in this world.
As I learned in the past several weeks those two go hand in hand with each other. When your younger the ADHD is something that is tolerated. As you get older it's looked down upon. I always knew something was wrong. I really would try hard, but seemed like I would mess things up. I would lose things like crazy. I would forget things and I couldn't sit at a desk.
But I learned something as well with it. It makes me good at what I do. I see things I shoot it (with a camera). I was told by a counselor the best thing I can do is use it to my advantage, make jokes about it and move on. I am on medication for it because it was messing with my health BIG TIME.
The best medication has been being honest. I told our youth kids, the response was awesome from our jr high was awesome...I heard a lot of me to. Haha I've changed the way I teach to help them and me. I go in with one point now. I allow time to chill out for a few minutes. It's working. Ask them about Paul, the book of Galatians.each student has a spiral and the right the verse down we are lookin at. They get it and I get it.
Ok so this post is a little long. But in the last month I've found hope and peace. I joke about it, but also understand how hard it can be. So I believe being honest about it is the best medication.

What a week
Last week vacation, this week worked enough for this week and last week. Wednesday turned out to be a 20 hr day. Friday was a 14 hr day. But I am so amazed with how our coverage went. Most people don't see or respect what goes on behind the senses. But I am privileged, each day I reach a goal. That goal is a story on the air. Come five o'clock the story will go. But it's a team of people with different talents that make that possible.
So in this pic you see the crew that worked together, yelled at one another, laughed together, and supported each other! Good work this week!!!

Back Home
Had a great time in New York with some awesome friends!! There was not a night that I didn't go to bed before 4 am. All the plans we made fell through, but other things came through that made the trip worth it.
It was a great time, to be honest the best time I've had in years. We all just let lose and lived life. I love to travel, but love the fellowship of good friends.

Grace
When you feel like you are the end is when you experience Grace. I've spent the last few week seeking God, his calling, and what he is longing for. I've become beyond amazed on how far off I was. Like I could be good enough for him, like there is enough work I can do for him to love me. I am loved by a holy God because of the cross. I am not loved because of the way I live. That's freedom!

Purpose
Even then God had designs on me. Why, when I was still in my mother's womb he chose and called me out of sheer generosity! (Galatians 1:15 MSG)
When we take the time to chill out and really see that God has uniquely designed in us a purpose. Many times we try to become something that God has not called us to or giving us the abilities to do.
I see God now has created in you and I an ability to worship him in many different forms. We all have different hobbies and talents. Those hobbies and talents is simply to bring joy to life and to bring him Glory.

I first want to start with simply thanking you for your compassion, prayers, and love. God has shown me so much the last couple of weeks. I have so much to say but holding a lot of it in for the right time. But here are a few things God is doing.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:10 NIV)
Through this journey that scripture has become a reality to me. That Satan's design is to come in and take my heart and mind and make it into something that it simply wasn't designed to be like. I allowed that to happen to many times. I have failed, I have stumbled, and I allowed Satan to take my mind and heart and do something with it that was meant for God.
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:31-39 NIV)
Now with some time, counseling, accountability,and even seeking some medical attention my mind set has changed. I've become amazed that what I view has a problem God delights in. My counselor has really helped me make sense of my thoughts. Jeff has met up with me every week at chillis. I've simply wanted to go there because the first young man I had the chance to make an impact on is a waiter there. I've had the opportunity to have dinner with him. He has been able to take me back to that time, when it was simply because I loved God. I saw this young man and saw God in him.
All that is great, but I've also been learning the value of simply having fun in life. I've learned that God has wired me a certain way and that is to bring him Glory. Through laughter, tears, and the words I speak. I am naturally an easy going guy. I've allowed other peoples expectations to change that. I've spent the last several years trying to always become better and not just living and allowing Christ to make me a better person.
I am personally going through the book of Galatians and this verse stuck out.... If I was "trying to be good," I would be rebuilding the same old barn that I tore down. I would be acting as a charlatan. (Galatians 2:18 MSG)
A few weeks ago my heart was in a million pieces. I've simply been allowing God to put those pieces together. I must be honest with you, a few weeks ago I thought I was at the end. But now I am swing that this is just the beginning.
With that being said the greatest thing I have learned is this..,.compassion for one another and the compassion from Jesus Christ is and should be the main focus for my life. At this moment that is something I'm allowing God to build in my life.
Thank you for your prayers and love.

Matthew 11
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me-watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." (Matthew 11:28-30 MSG)
Awesome stuff. Found a lot of hope in this today!

The last two weeks
high or low, thinkable or unthinkable-absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. (Romans 8:39 MSG)
I haven't had words in awhile to write. I just did this blog thing cause I had to. But God today spoke to me today in away I haven't heard in a while. I understand something I have known for a while. God is for me, not against me. I know that, but today I understand a little more.
The two natural things for me is to give and to help. I must be honest the first week of taking a step back and looking into my heart was painful. On the outside I look like I have it all together, on the inside I was finished. I could no longer hold myself together.
This week I've been able to sit across people and just spill my guts and not feel bad for it. I've been able to understand I am not the only one. As I go through this, my heart breaks because I feel like many times we try to impress God with out abilities and charm. In all reality that is by far the most exhausting thing a person can do. I know because that has been me.
So as I write this I am laughing and enjoying life a little more. I am not healed, but I am allowing God to do the work in me.
Today I had a late lunch with David. We both were making jokes. To think just a few months ago he almost died twice. As a youth pastor I didn't know what to do. I've never been through that. Today I was just amazed that I was looking at a miracle. I started thinking to myself....Gods plan doesn't always make sense, but I must trust.
I am doing ok. I am learning to live for the moment.

Song that means allot
I can only imagine is the song tat to this day that means allot to me. Mainly because many times in life we try to imagine what God is going to be like, or what heaven is going to look at. In all reality are we really going to care?
At the same time the song brings back memories to the time I gave my heart to Christ, several years ago. When I heard the song it started to make me think where my life was an where it was going. I remember becoming overwhelmed with the presents of God.
As I imagine heaven I see...well, I am not sure an I think it's meant to be that way. I can guess, but in all reality I simply don't know. Not knowing is not always a bad thing. But I pray that God would continue help me press forward.

God is good
If I were to be honest the last year of my life has been bittersweet. The biggest struggle has been who I am in Christ. I've struggle with that for years. Today I was talking with a good friend and she said this:
"Just remember that God is never mad or disappointed with you; He's just longing for you to be closer to Him every day."
My struggle has been just that, feeling like I am letting people down and that I disappoint them. When I can't do something for someone I become frustrated.i need to stop that and simply enjoy him. I struggle knowing how to do that. Good to hear.

Frankie
The other day I logged on to Facebook and saw a post from a friend saying her and her husband took in a foster kid for the first time and they had nothing. I felt in my heart to to give to them. Now in these times I always take a student with me. I want them to see I don't jUst preach it, I want to live it. We went to Walmart and bought a bunch of stuff. My student bought this little seven year old a cartoon DVD.
As we gave the stuff to little Frankie, God really hit me with something. It was when we take care of orphans, the blessing is huge in our own lives. Then I started thinking about how we give. We give from the bottom of our hearts. Next Wednesday the student of mine and myself will meet up with little frankie to take him shopping. The real reason we are going is to simply build a relationship with Frankie and support a friend who is willing to take in a stranger and love them like jesus.
let's just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren't. If you preach, just preach God's Message, nothing else; if you help, just help, don't take over; if you teach, stick to your teaching; if you give encouraging guidance, be careful that you don't get bossy; if you're put in charge, don't manipulate; if you're called to give aid to people in distress, keep your eyes open and be quick to respond; if you work with the disadvantaged, don't let yourself get irritated with them or depressed by them. Keep a smile on your face. Love from the center of who you are; don't fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle. Don't burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don't quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality. (Romans 12:6-13 MSG)

Fear
Many times of my Life I've allowed fear to take over. Fear has always been my big downfall in life. The beautiful part Of fear is that you see the need for God: many times fear is wrapped up in in evil. But when it comes to fear we can see God is on our side. So the Goal is to see God in all situations.

What I want to be remembered as
If I could be remembered for anything, it would be the doing the small things to makes someone's life a little easier. I believe so many times in life we overlook the small and forget that those things are important. I also want to be remembered as a person who loves when it's not easy to love. So many times we will write people off because of attitude, we forget we were once in the same boat.
Last but not least, I want to be remembered as a person who simply did all he could do to the best of his ability. So much of my life was robbed by trying to prove myself. Now it's simply doing my best with what I have.
So if I was to go that is what I would want to be rememberd as.

To be honest
If I were to be honest with you, I have been at a turning point in my life for the last 8 months. I've only told one person this, but felt like making it public. God started prompting me to pray for my future family. My future wife and kids. People who know me know that is a huge step. I've always been afraid of relationships. My biggest fear was screwing it up, repeating family history, not being able to be the man God wanted me to me.
This fear did more than just cripple me, it stopped me from Doing Gods will. But God in his all knowing, had a plan for me. You see a young man walked into our youth group. I remember the day very well. That moment I knew there was something about him. I met his mother that night. Because of some past mistakes she was a little afraid to let her son go anywhere. But I talked her into letting him go with the youth group to Rosas.
He has never missed a Sunday. His parents and grandma started coming to church. Him and I built a strong bond. We eat together once a week. Out of nowhere I was asked to be his God father. His mom said there was a night and day difference in him.
But here is beauty, God used him to change me. Being in a partnership with him and his family has taught me I am going to screw it up, I am going to get things wrong. But what matters is that we do this life together. He's a young man who almost got into a gang, God through his grace and mercy allowed the two of us to impact each other. I have tears even writing this. This week Aline I have been so proud of him. AB honorrole, his mother has enough trust in him to extend his curfew. I can't tell you how many homeless people he has helped. how many lunches he has bought someone at school with the money he earns. Even his mother has said she has learned so much for him.
Together does work, he is not just a youth kid...he is family.

Random place to blog
I am sitting in kids village blogging. We are shooting a story a story on cribs. Well I know I haven't done anything the last couple of months. The last few weeks have been full of trials on many different levels. There have been alot of personal issues and family problems. bit I have to admit it had been nice to see people come together. For along time it was easy for me to share things with anyone. But lately I have three or four people I trust with my stuff. Those three or four people have become the best of friends.
So when we talk about doing things together I think we need to look around at who we have with us. I understand now that we can find anyone who agrees with us, but we need that person who will look us in the eyes and tell us straight up.
A few weeks ago I was stressing over small things. I had a 17 year old look at me and ask the tough question. "nick how long are you going to live this way." WOW! That hurt but it was good. He knew nothing other than the fact I was stress. That weekend I had a friend call me out saying enjoy life and the time you have.
I needed that. I needed someone to be honest with me. So with that being said...chill out and enjoy the time you have. Get away, do something you enjoy. God has giving us limited time we need to cherish the time we have.
So when we talk about doing things together I think we need to look around at who we have with us. I understand now that we can find anyone who agrees with us, but we need that person who will look us in the eyes and tell us straight up.
A few weeks ago I was stressing over small things. I had a 17 year old look at me and ask the tough question. "nick how long are you going to live this way." WOW! That hurt but it was good.

My hero
It's hard to just pick one person for a everyday hero. So I thought about it a little this week, and this is what I got. My everyday hero would be the young person who has messed up and you can see him picking up the pieces and trying to make a change. The single mom who struggles paycheck to paycheck just to survive. Another hero would be the dad who chooses to have a relationship with his kids, despite how that kid came into the world. The man who takes someone elses child and treats them like there own. The person who is willing to take in a orphan and provide he/she with a family.
An everyday hero to me is a person who tries tO do the right thing. I must admit it is hard sometimes because I see so much bad. But when you sit and listen to people, you find that heroes are all around us. Intact we are all heroes to someone.

This summer
I have a love hate relationship with summer. I hate the heat, but love how it brings people closer together. This whole year has been a year of inner healing for me. What most people don't understand is that as soon as my dad passed I went right to work. I was 16 atvthe time. Summer meant I got to work more. Now years later I have come to the point to believe that life is full of work, at the same time life is about enjoying it. This summer even though my work day will continue, I have plans this summer to enjoy it.
At church we do alot fellowship time with the youth. I love doing that!I plan to make several trips to the lake. I am also going to be able to spend some time with dads side of the family. Some I haven't seen or spoken to since my dads death. Really I am learning life is about enjoying it.
