My Life Update(Sorry for being so Long)

I haven't wrote in awhile so I will give you my life update. So My last few weeks were good but sad weeks for the Academy our instructor Mcelfresh is getting shipped out on the Third so we had a going away party on the last day very dad event I didn't cry a lot of people did. He got a lot of stuff from the students in the academy the fire academy got him a shirt that said Brotherhood which is what we are very cool Mr.Mcelfresh then said that this was his hardest deployment because we became a family which we are. Well besides that on a good note we had the talent show that day and really really cool act went up and ended up getting first. It was one of my friends Jeff Lusher he is a Christian and he had a girls up there with him he played guitar and sang whit his friend Never Alone by Barlow girls it was really good and very cool he got a standing ovation very cool I enjoyed it. My Christmas was good Brad was able to come home for Christmas we had a good time while Brad was home. Swim practice over break has been somewhat fun so nothing to bad. Last Night was fun everyone was at Super K's place playing Apples to Apples Bell was unable to make it until later piano boy told me she was doing concessions at the high School. Then We all When To Piano boy's house and Bell came up with the Idea to Worship so that is what we did so it ended with a good night God Bless and be safe for the New Year

Swim season is in the air

Well the meets for swimming have started I'm doing pretty good starting off I really want to go to state. How is everyone doing? This is year I must say overall was very hectic for me but I always have the good memories to lean back on if I get discouraged if I wasted my year which I believe I did not. As some of you know I went through a lot this year so God Bless to all who were there to help get through all of it. I spoke this Thursday at Remain that was fun. I was completely unprepared. But I think I did Good most of my message kind of leaned on my week and how when my stress level was going through the roof and going through rough times at school how just to turn to God and I remembered my a part from my Favorite Psalm 23 vs 4 says Even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i will fear no evil for you are with me your rod and your staff comfort me. Really helped me get through the week. A another soldier to keep in prayer our fire instructor over at E.H.O.V.E. is getting shipped off to the Horn Of Africa which is where a lot of tribal fighting is going on and a lot of the aid disease is at well he will be there for 400 days he is leaving his wife and kids for over a year. His name is Staff Seargent Ned Mcelfresh Thats not the correct spelling of his last name but I will get that and Edit on my next post. But keep him in prayer he is in special forces unit to. Well I think thats all I have for know
God Bless

I was almost went into complete exhaustion again but i went to bed early last night and now I feel a lot better. Tomorrow I'm going to talk to the Fire Instructor and see if We are able to start T.F.C. at E.H.O.V.E. if he would be like the teacher in charge like Mrs. More is at N.H.S.

One thing in paticular that makes me angry

People aggravate me out of everything in this world. People do not think in some areas of there life. Seniors at E.H.O.V.E are already freaking out about there career and college there so worried about college that they don't worry about there senior year.
Another thing that makes me angry as how most people look at the outside and judge u by who u are on the outside and not wanting to give the time or day and talk to u. Im not trying to say I'm perfect in this area because I'm not but in the past two years I have become better at not judging anyone by there outside but stop and take the time and get to know them. I don't know i see life as it is to short to start to panic about the little things when we need to look to God for the answers we are looking for. I have learned in my own personal experience the more i turn to God about things of what I dont know what to do he gives me the wisdom to do the right thing. Maybe not everyone will agree what I have to say but I guess thats alright.
God Bless

Tonight

Tonight was an alright night I had an Advisory meeting at school tonight. I was their because I was Rank. We sat down and ate which was nice. Then we went back to lab and started our meeting. When they asked us to introduce ourselves. I asked my instructor if we were suppose to state our rank because this was the first advisory meeting i have been to and i didnt know. So in front of everyone she said if you want to inflate yourself in other words try to look better than them. Which i wasn't so she made me feel real stupid in front of everyone. I then felt I didn't belong at the meeting but I kept my professionalism and stayed at the meeting I wanted to walk out. Everyone is like Chief Norwalk Fire Dept. Doug Coletta. A Captain from the sheriffs office and two State Highway Patrol officers. I'm going to talk to her about it tomorrow. Thats my life for now.

Please read and comment

I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this little boy some money back.


The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.


The Cashier said, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll."


Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ''Granny,
are you sure I don't have enough money?''


The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.''


Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look a round. She left quickly.


The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.


Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to.


"It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas.


She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her."


I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry.


But he replied to me sadly. "No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there."


His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.''


My heart nearly stopped.


The little boy looked up at me and said: "I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall."


Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me "I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't forget me."


"I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister."


Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.


I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. "Suppose we check
again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?''


"OK" he said, "I hope I do have enough." I added some of my money to his with out him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.


The little boy said: "Thank you God for giving me enough money!"


Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give It to my sister. He heard me!''


"I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.''


"My mommy loves white roses."


A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket.


I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started.


I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind.


Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young
woman and a little girl.



The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical
state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the

life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma.


Was this the family of the little boy?


Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news paper that the young woman had passed away.


I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial.


She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest.


I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever.. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is
still, to this day, hard to imagine.


And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.


Now you have 2 choices:


1) Repost this message, or


2) Ignore it as if it never touched your heart

9/11

Today is a day of remembrance for all of are Soldiers that have died all of the Police,Fire,and EMS have died during 9/11 but today is also a day of thankfulness for what we got and for the ones who were in the World Trade Center and Survived. I am thankful that their our men and women who put their lives on the line. Today on a day like this I can proudly say that I'm going to be a Police Officer I am also proud to say that I am part of the Color Guard and was able to Raise and lower our flag to half staff not just for Congressman Gilmore but all the men and women who have died and for the brave men and women who have saved the citizens of 9/11 and for all of our Fallen Soldiers. I was also to participate in a detail in Huron this evening to Post Colors for a Remembrance Ceremony in Huron which was nice. The sad thing is our country is coming so complacent about the situation and no one really cares anymore. Today I have to say was one of the most humbling days for me and for those who don't know this is what I call the Real anniversary of 9/11 because six years on this Tuesday September 11 The Twin Towers were attacked and destroyed and lives were lost so please for those who have forgotten please don't forget and pray for the families who have lost someone to 9/11 and for our military fighting for our freedom and putting their lives on the line

The fire instructor reamed all of us but i told him i should get most of the heat because of I'm captain and its my responsibility to know where my people where at and i told him i deserved everything he threw at me because i did. And then once again i failed my driving test again and in the process almost got arrested lost my temper hit the outer BRICKSWall and they told me they were going to call the state highway patrol if i caused any damage to the BRICK Wall she said it was destruction of property i told her I'm in criminal Justice and i know my laws man i lost it so but i have a good news I got a Raise at McDonald's and I'M going to be a crew Trainer which means i be getting like seven and something and hour instead of 6.85 well that's all for now

THE CALL!!!!/Trip

The Call was truly amazing but I'm not going to same much about it you will have to wait and hear what i thought for Sunday but Thursday when we first got there the guys we put up the tent and got tent arrangements set up then Me K.W. H.D D.D. M.B. B.H. B.K and J.R.D. went to the Uncle Jim's and his wife but i don't remember her name and then me J.R.D. M.B. B.H. and B.K.went out on the gator we had a good time then we came back took the little ones out for a ride we came back at ate then we went then we went and worshiped around the fire which i enjoyed Snipe hunting ERR (angry sound) that aggravated me but i got over it. Then the guys went back to our camp and fell asleep. Friday we had the choice of going tubing or going to the corvette museum. me D.D.B.H. M.B. and our youth leader B.H. K.W. H.D.B.K. C.K. D.W. I think that is all who went tubing. When me and the four guys came back we had lunch and then we went out on the gator for awhile we had fun on that and went to the cave went down in a little ways wasn't aloud to go to far though but that's alright it was still really cool figuratively and literally and then we went back to the farm picked up the little ones went out with them and picked up some stones for The Pastors Families garden. Then we went back to the farm rested for awhile later on went and got some ice cream then after words we went back out on the gator but not for long and then every one who went tubing were back so i talked to K.W. about her time while we were waiting for food to be done and i showed her my pics of the Corvette museum and then we ate and then we all had a prayer meeting about The Call which Was on Saturday. Not Last But not least THE CALL WHOOOOOOOO YEAH LOVED IT. The worship was very very intense and i liked it a lot cool thing was Michael W. Smith was their and didn't now it until after the fact he sang my two favorite songs by him which was Healing Rain and Angus Dei My two favorite worships songs he has well any way Lou Engal the most amazing guy i got the privilege to listen to him he had no matter what he always had something good to say one thing which is kind of funny about him That man right there is Jhoping 24/7 when he speaks But i did find this out he started JHOP and the 22 word prayer we say in church and if you can imagine this it all came from a doctor Seuss book but my other youth leader L.W. could tell you about the book more than me and Dutch Sheets who i also have a lot of respect for spoke a little bit about the significance of 7/7/07 which was very cool and well i better stop talking because i got a lot more to share on Sunday and i do mean a lot but hopefully i can speak all of it because i really feel that it is important to share all of it but i will pray about it and see how much I'm suppose to share. I miss the rest of the guys who didn't come back they stayed a little longer well that is all for now hope you feel like reading this really long post and on a side not the Initial are every one in my youth group if you don't now who I'm talking about ask me in person because i know Lillie doesn't want her children's real name on the net so i put everyone initials all for now

What God Gave to Me

God gave me this last Wednesday at prayer and intercession and worship well and it came to me again last night at community prayer and intercession i didn't share but i will share it on here God has been giving this for us so here it is. We area all brothers and sister in Christ right? Right. so anyway i think it is equally important for brothers and sisters of the natural to come together and 7/7/7 and pray together because i believe that is really going to be a break through and i thought how we would do it as we would join hands with our brother and sister then like i said were all brothers and sisters in Christ so if u don't have your brother or sister there with join a family and what we would do is we would all then come together as one a pray in the spirit who can and those who cant can still press in and pray with us well thats what God gave me give me some feed back on this
