Disappointment

today, after checking my blog I realized that only ONE person (thanks Car) commented on my memories post, not even my wife!!!!

the Bible says that the love of money is the root 0f all evil. so I try to get rid of mine as soon as I get it. lol

the Indiana trip is coming up and my money has dissolved. I am so stressed and disappoointed that i can hardly breathe. how did we let money become such an overwhelming aspect of our lives, what happened to the days where if you made a couple thousand a month you were doing well? nowadays if you make that you are barely scraping by.

I am praying that I will get the money somehow to bring the girls here.

I HATE money!!!

freaked out by finances,

Memories

This blog is dedicated to all the infamous memories that I have created. so please, I am begging you, share your favorite memory of me. Be it funny, embarrassing, outragous what ever it is please share it. I would like to get 10 comments, so this means that Sarah and Carly have to comment 4 times each!!!lol

Vent, vent, vent.....

You know, sometimes you go through life and wonder why people are butts. every once in a while you meet someone who is who they are no matter what. Chris and Carly are no exception to this. they have always been good friends, and great "Catch phrase buddies". all this aside, i dealt with some really stupid people today. and I sure understand why some people go off the deep end. and if it wasn't for Jesus and fellow christians that I feel accountable to, I would probably go postal.

I must apologize for making fun of a guy at work that has tourettes. he is so funny but it is so catchy. and sarah just taught maya to say "Your a fffff fffff fff fffrea ffreak fah freak". rofl!!!!!!


well i gotta go and get maya more kewlaid....ttfn

peace out

What in the World???!!!

why has everyone been slacking on their posts. why has the only person who has encouraged me to blog been criticising my lack thereof? why do I find it so hard to do the Love Dare? The answers to these questions are not as nearly important as the answer to the following one. Why in the world is it sooooo hard to be a christian. Why is it so hard to resist the devil? I am in a spiritual rut that has lasted for years and I hoped that it would pass and I am sure that I need to more proactive about it........... any thoughts???

Failure

I hate failure. In fact, I would go so far as to say that failure gets me so mad that I feel it in the very center of my being. My attempt at the Love dare stopped when i had to make the list of things that were good about Sarah and a list of things that were bad. I couldn't bring myself to do it. so I have postponed the Love Dare until today......Lord willing I will make the lists when I get home.

wish me luck

carly, how is your dare going??

Peace Out,
Sam

Mercy renewed in the morning

you know every monday when i get up for work I think about how God's mercies are renewed every morning. a new day, a new way to look at difficulties, a new chance to see lost souls get saved, and another chance to show sarah how much I love her!!!!

yesterday I had to make 2 list about sarah, on of positive things and one of negative. and then I had to pick a positive thing about sarah and thank her for it.........I chose to thank her for the way she supports me in my ministry and when I ask for criticism she will be blunt but she is always loving when she says it.

so yesterday I filled the pulpit at Grace; in the am I preached on getting the Victory and in the pm I preached on JESUS: what manner of man is this.....i felt that the services went very well. rex gave me a book on how to put together a sermon; i appreciate the gesture but............i think sarah may have had an issue with it..

i have to get back to work now and how come i haven't had many comments....come on kiddo's get with it.

The Love Dare......

Day 1....say nothing negative....no problem.

Day 2....do something nice for your spouse....no problem.

Day 3....buy something for your spouse....Defiately no problem.

Day 4....call your spouse during the day to see how they are doing....no problem.

I know what you are thinking, Sam sure has this love dare thing whipped........well let me tell you, that is what I thought until i read Day 5.

Day 5....Have your spouse make a list of 3 things that you do that irritates, annoys, or aggrivates them....GINORMOUS PROBLEM!!!!

Noone no matter who they are likes to hear bad things about themselves. Furthermore, I get crazy defensive when someone says something negative towards me. this journey is one of, if not THE most difficult things I have ever undergone........ and it is only Day5!

I need help, I need comments of encouragement, I need to pills that will allow me to wake up the moment Gabriel gets fussy in the middle of the night!

Carly, is it this hard for you??? I just have to stay committed no matter how hard it is, my marriage is worth it!

Help Me Jesus!!!

peace out
