Just Chuggin Along
Welp I've been at this 40 Days of purpose book for about 7 days now and already I've been reminded of some awesome truths that we tend to forget about when we become that snot-nosed Christian that we all become every once and awhile...thanks to all who are praying for me in keeping up with this book I haven't miss a day yet even when I though "Its too late to do this" I stayed up the extra 20 or so.. minutes to read the chapter for the day so thanks to all.
Right so I've been facing alot of No you can't and you will fail at this if you try kinda comments from alot people that I've asked advice from on the bagpipes and stuff this coming from professionals mind you who you think would be encouraging me to go for it. My whole thought on the thing is if I'm determined enough to learn and play the bagpipes I think you can teach yourself...yes I do plan to go to the lessons that the Knoxville Pipe Band offers on Mondays when I go back to school but for now with my crazy and unpredictable work schedule I can't go. I think I can learn the basics enough to where I can play stuff.
So yeah along with my Bagpipe learning and playing my brother brought back a penny/tin whistle from his trip to England, Ireland, and Wales so I've been messing around with that and making up stuff so chalk up another instrument to my repetoir
A guy ask me if I would be playing my pipes at school and stuff and I said I would take them to Football games that would add another noise maker to the Mossy Creek Maniac section now wouldn't it HA HA HA
Welp thats gonna be all he wrote for this one....

Let the piping begin
Today I made some great progress towards actually getting to point where I can actually start to play my pipes I got my drone reeds in correctly and tuned to where they actually made noise. So I'm really excited all I have to do is get a new chanter and some instructional videos and I'll be on my way watch out for me this fall at the CN I'll be piping til I'm blue in the face
40 Days of Purpose
after much prayer and debate with myself I have come to..rather God has brought me to the conclusion that the reason I've failed at the relationships that I've tried to start with girls is.... A relationship is what I wanted to fill the space that is meant for God in a Christian's life. So I've resolved to get back on the straight and narrow path by doing the 40 Days of Purpose book to discover God's Purpose in my life. I'm convinced that since I've have not be obedient to God in having a quiet time He has seen fit not to bring the person that he has for me....For 2 reasons 1. I would not be good enough for her and 2. she would not deserve anything but my best with regards to being obedient to the Will of God. Once again I've demonstrated to myself that Me on my own can do nothing and that anything I do is prone to fail at some point but with God by my side any and everything I do will succeed.
I ask that all who read this blog pray for me and my discipline to complete the 40 Days book and pray also that not be the end of it that I will continue to have a consistent quite time or some kind of time where I sit down and read Gods word.
Oh yeah I almost forgot I finally got a call back from John Walker (I think) about the Youth Internship at FBC Morristown we talked at length on Friday about my beliefs and my personal theology and as of this point I have a really good feeling about this possible ministry opportunity its truly amazing what will happen after God has knocked you on your butt and you've resolved to follow him again.
I would ask that everyone be in prayer about this as well.

HAPPY 4th of July everyone!!!!!!!

Just Don't Understand
I really don't understand what I'm doing wrong it seems that every girl I get interested in either gets snagged by the next guy or they end up moving back home and not coming back. It very discouraging to go throughout your college career having not even experience the first relantionship that every guy and girl longs for and the be surrounded by it everyday is even more heart wrenching.
