Discipline

I believe that everyone knows when you ask God for something that He usually "sends" you trials concerning your request and continues to "assist" you until you get it right. Kind of like when you ask for patience you end up with a broken down car and your having to ride the bus with a screamin child sitting next to. So who knows what I may have ended up with a couple of weeks ago when I began to pray and asked others to pray for discipline fior me.
Little did I know that as I began this endeavor to pray that my opportunities were already in front of me. Simple things like being on time to a meeting, and not eating out when I dont' really have the money. Its crazy to think how soo many of these things are easy and apart of everyday life and yet I feel they are challenging to get done.
Last week I was very busy. I think between Youth for Christ and C28 I worked like 75-80 hours. And believe it or not I actually got more things done. I really dont' know what my problem is and why that is, that when I am the most overloaded I seem to be the most on top of things. Suppose I may have always been this way??? I guess I will keep praying and hope to find other areas to get it "right" :)

New Kids

I know this blog can really be about whatever I want it to be, however I have seen it as a great tool to infom people about my ministry, however today I want to take a break from that and celebrate my youth...well I'm still full of youth if you ask me more like celebrate my childhood maybe?

For months there had been rumors of a possible New Kids on the Block reunion, and then bam it was confirmed. And they were coming here to south Florida. However by the time I'd gotten around to ask if anyone was interested in going everyone had there tickets already. Only minorly bummed I moved, that is until a week ago when I recieved a call from one of those friends who had tickets and couldn't go. I still had trouble though, who was I going to get to come with me? You dont' go to a concert like that without a friend.

For days everyone who I asked me laughed at me, I took quite a bit of grief for looking forward to this. I stood strong though and eventually convinced my friend Christen to come along.

It is really hard to even describe the scene of this "historic" event. Picture 98% mid-twenties+ women, i'm gonna guess 11% of those were pregnant, (for real never seen so many pregnant women at a concert). 5% men, who were dragged by there significant others.

There were two opening acts for them, first one was "Lady Ga-ga" (whatever), and the second was Natasha Bedingfield! Now I love Natasha, I've been a fan of hers for several years now. When her set was over I went out to see if I could meet her at the merch table. Line was too long but i did get a couple of good pictures of her...the point of this part of the story was the mass-hysteria that took place when the lights went off for the New Kids to take the stage. I really didn't know so many women were into running?

All in all it was a Great concert, laugh if you will, but the whole thing took me back to when i was in the 4th grade and my biggest crush was Joey McIntryre, and I wanted to be just like my cousins (who by the way were old enough to see them in concert the 1st time around). I really, really, really hate to say that the New Kids music is timeless, but for the 10,000 plus women who were at that concert last Saturday night there music holds a place in our own personal history. It was great how there reunion "reunited" us all with the simpler times of life and each other.
