Currently Reading...

I have been reading alot lately and these two books have been quite inspirational and challenging to me.

The first one is "Extreme Godchasers" by Tommy Tenney. Its a challenging book about revival everywhere and in every aspect of life. Its about going from a casual inquirer to becoming a desparate seeker.
"We are all spiritual lepers, but God's acceptance means you can ignore all the other voices that say "I reject you". Not to be rude but who cares how many other lepers reject you when you have been healed and accepted by the king?"
This book is all about a lifestyle of choosing to seek God everyday.

The second book is called "Wild At Heart" by John Eldredge. This one is great, its about being a man. At first I thought "this sounds kinda dumb, I don't need anyone to tell me how to be a man, I already have it down, no problem!" Haha, but reading this book has opened my eyes to what society says a man should be, compared to what God has called us men to be.

So if you are looking for some reading material go check it out :)

Stay cool, and be careful when you use power tools.

"If you want to make a difference...

...Then be different."

I don't want to live according to the world's standard anymore. I don't need to "keep up with the Joneses". My identity is not defined by my profession, nor is my self worth dependent on the amount written on my paycheck. Popularity and social status are irrelevant and unnecessary because my identity is no longer based on those things.

Today I choose to live according to a different standard, Jesus's standard. In Him I have all the acceptance I will ever need. From Him comes provision for my every need. Compared to Him, nothing else satisfies and brings true Joy!
