Mitchell is 23!

After an amazing dinner with waaaay too much food.

Cannonball time.

New Toy

Finally got the bike for training this summer instead of training on the mtn bike. Yay tax return going to good work stimulating the economy. I mean I'm just trying to help our country out right? First triathlon is in Austin on the 25th! Let's hope I can be ready in time.

for the moments i feel faint

h-town has treated me quite well so far i would say and i realized recently that it is beginning to become more of a home than a place i am at for a while. i have a group of people i know and feel at home with, i have a schedule of things that i do somewhat on a regular basis, and most importantly i feel called to serve the people of the city. we've got a lot of work to do...

summer time is approaching here and though i am not looking forward to the stagnant heat that it brings here, i can't deny i love being outside when it's warm and i'm not at work. volleyball, frisbee, swimming, soccer, football, running (evidently... ps i ran my first 5K this past weekend, twas awesome), biking, climbing, and oh need to suck it up and take the wave runner to the shop to get it ready for the summer. yay spending money.

the apt is coming along well now with all of the furniture in, beginnings of decorations are appearing, and have now served two meals here for guests. largest group so far to be fed from the world's smallest kitchen: 20. need to incorporate the grill, def will increase the capacity. still have some learning to do before i end up buying my own place but i feel like this is a good start to it. being responsible for alot of different stuff even though i have a landlord, tis not like an apt complex where you can just call downstairs when something is broken for them to come fix it. gotta deal with it yourself. we shall see if i cant make even more progress this friday since i have it off work. maybe for once it won't rain...

never underestimate my Jesus
you're telling me that there's no hope,
i'm telling you you're wrong

never underestimate my Jesus
when the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong

getting there... good times

Marvelous Light

I love this song, just felt inspired to post it, making me quite excited this morning to be a part of His kingdom!

Marvelous Light

I once was fatherless,
a stranger with no hope;
Your kindness wakened me,
Awakened me, from my sleep

Your love it beckons deeply,
a call to come and die.
By grace now I will come
And take this life, take your life.

Sin has lost it’s power,
death has lost it’s sting.
From the grave you’ve risen
VICTORIOUSLY!

Into marvelous light I’m running,
Out of darkness, out of shame.
By the cross you are the truth,
You are the life, you are the way

My dead heart now is beating,
My deepest stains now clean.
Your breath fills up my lungs.
Now I’m free. now I’m free!

Lift my hands and spin around,
See the light that i have found.
Oh the marvelous light
Marvelous light

Lift my hands and spin
See the light within…

Christmas Photo Update

Everyone came over for some fried chicken and mashed potatoes before we left for home.


This is the group that won the Christmas Carol contest by making up a carol that made fun of Grandma's Christmas ornaments. Not sure how they won considering she was the judge...

Got to see some old friends. They are the best.

My cousin Hannah watching the sunset.

My sister enjoying uncle Steve's seadoo since i took ours...

It was good to see things get back to the way they used to be. Even if it was for a short while...

He does pretty well for an old dog, that's for sure. I think he was def missin his water while living out in the desert
