Hey lads/lasses, sorry it has been a while since I have posted a
blog. I have been supper busy with everything that has been going on.
Brief description of things these past few months. I have fourteen
days before I go back to school, pretty excited. July...not entirely
sure what went on in July. I pulled a quad running pretty bad so I
cannot run for a few weeks on top of the pull calf muscle. So I'm out
for the X-Country season before it even gets started. OOOOOHHH I had
a chance to attend CIY with my youth group as a leader...we did some
pretty cool things.
We got kicked out of walmart, my friend ate worms, I put on
thirty-two t-shirts, did the chicken dance outside of a van. All the
fun things. Not only did I do these things, but I also go to see how
much these kids had grown in the time that I had left for school and
it was heartwarming and an overall happy feeling. Some of these kids
were a real pain and then to see them now it's like...dude...that's
sweet. CIY in general was just really awesome, we talked about the
story of Daniel, the first six chapters and one thing I had never
taken into account the was the time.
Taking Daniel's age when they were taken captive...he was a teen.
Then you have all the stuff that happens. Finally you get to the
story everyone knows, Daniel and the lions den. Every lesson I have
taught to the younger kids, every lesson I remember growing up, and
even in illustrations I see, people picture Daniel as this guy in
like his late twenties, early thirties. When you look at the time
line of the kings and the events going on, Daniel is around the age
of eighty when he gets thrown in the lion's den. EIGHTY! Take a
moment and let that sink in. Yea. I also took away some valuable key
points that I would like to share.
1. Your here is always God's there
2. Faithfulness is doing the little “usual” things in life
3. Christ may not always save you from the fiery furnace, but he will
join you.
4. Humble yourself before God humbles you.
5. Allow yourself to be ruined by Christ in a beautiful way.
In other news....I ordered a new laptop top so I should be able to
start setting up vlogs...maybe...depends. If I do them...let me be
serious for a bit...it would be a bunch of nonsense....but yea.
So the other half of my title...DJ by night....tiz an interesting
thing to say is it not? Makes is sound like I live a double life.
Mysterious...or I just sound like a dork that thought that might be a
cool title. We shall go with option two.
On Monday, I was asked to DJ a wedding for a person I had gone to
school with. I was like “dude...yes! then as I hang up I get, “oh
yeah...the wedding is Saturday.” Pressure is on now...I was not
given a list, I had no idea what songs they were dancing to, or what
they even wanted. Everything had to be done and finalized by seven on
Friday. Tuesday and Wednesday I spent all night forming a list
rearranging, planning orders, and searching through my library of
music for wedding songs. I can tell you there was much coffee
drinking and word scribbling. As much as I love this...last minute
wedding things are not my cup of tea. This was the first time I had
ever had the entire music for the wedding dumped on me, it was a
little nerve racking.
In the end, everything turned out pretty fantastic! My late night
stressing and coffee was totally worth it. I got to see two people
join together as one with God and have a dance party afterward. I am
so thankful for the opportunity to do that. Now I pretty much just
sit and wait until I can go back to school. There are quite a few
things I am looking forward to. Busy work, growing in knowledge,
friends, positive community, and even maybe a special someone
someday. That is all for now, stay excellent and enjoy what is left
of summer!!!!! X
