I have a criminal record

Ok… today was a great day. Here’s what happened in order.

  1. I slept in till about 11
  2. I went online and searched for apartments – everything was coming up 1200 or more for a 3 bedroom
  3. I got discouraged
  4. Found out about the place Mychal John and Meagan were moving to.
  5. Called and found out they had great prices, made an appointment
  6. Stopped by Truth building and then bank to deposit my paycheck. (don’t have direct deposit yet b/c I don’t have checks yet)
  7. Went to appointment at Village in the Woods – was very interested – told them I’d be back, they warned me they could run out of places to rent
  8. Went to another place – too much and wouldn’t let a family of 5 rent a two bedroom
  9. Came back to Village in the Woods – the one I wanted closer to pool and Mychal John got taken while I was gone – along with two others.   Thankfully they still had two left one of which I really liked.  I did the approval (found out I have a criminal record – see below) Going to sign lease tomorrow and will move in next weekend. Two bedroom for 590 a month! Yeah Baby! 2 Pools, playgrounds, picnic areas, fitness center.
  10. Went to McDonald’s and got Beowulf from a Redbox
  11. Came home and started watching it
  12. Jordan called and offered to help me reset the stage for tomorrow
  13. Got there and an event was going on so we couldn’t do it
  14. Went to CiCi’s Pizza
  15. Went to Pump It Up – where it was teen night and I felt a little out of place. But I made the most of it and had fun – I’m sure I’ll be sore tomorrow.
  16. Went back to Truth center to reset stage
  17. Came home and it is 12:00 am

I gotta be at the church @ 8 for the Jr High band is playing for the Route 56(5th &6th grade) event.

So first off – I’m so excited because the church is really taking care of me. I know they want my family down here and they are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen.  And they are making it happen. I will probably go get my family next weekend.

Second. When doing my background check today they asked me why I had a misdemeanor charge of possesion. I was like what!? Your kidding!? When? Basically when I was 17 I got caught with beer at a Lolapolooza concert in South Carolina and that is what it was. But it wasn’t until they said North Carolina that I remembered what it was.  I started thinking about all sorts of stuff and when that could have happened. Long story short – I had no idea that was on my record.  I thought when you turned 18 it was like starting over. Apparently not for possession charges. That sounds crazy to say possession charges.

Ok… goodnight to all!

Lost, Vantage Point, Private Kicking, and a Funeral

Ok… today was a fun day.

  • I just got done watching Lost episode 5 of Season 4 – “The Constant”. Holy Cow! Lost is so creative and imaginitive and insane – it’s just crazy.  I am so proud to be a Lost fan! 🙂 What would your constant be?
  • I watched Vantage Point tonight with Everett. It was a REALLY GOOD (not great) movie.  It is definitely worth watching. I actually caught myself biting my knuckles at one point (not just because I had to go to the bathroom badly).  I had really high expectations of this movie because it looked so awesome from the preview. But if I went into that movie with a “tabula rosa” (clean slate) mind and had never seen the previews, I would walk away happy.
  • Private Kicking – So I watched the Truth building today – meaning from 3-6 we have kids there hanging out and I’m responsible. Well at closing time I walk outside and see a kid laying on the ground and another kid sees me and starts walking away (at a hurried pace).  I go to the kid and I can see a tear in his eye and I ask him if he is ok. He doesn’t move. So I’m like, “uh-oh.”  Long story short he finally started talking. Turns out he and his friend were trying to kick each other where it hurts and apparently the other kid won. Oh the stupid games we boys play.  There’s more to this story but I don’t want to say it on here because I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.
  • I went to my first student ministry related funeral today. Nick’s (drummer in band) grandfather passed away this week and the service was today. I feel so privileged that God has called me to minister to students. I hope I am way over communicating to them that I care and that they can come to me about anything.

It’s time for bed. Tomorrow I am going to search desperately for a place to rent for my family and I. The church is going to help my family and I out so they don’t have to wait until the house sells to move here.  So the ball is in my court. I have to find us a place to live temporarily and then I can go get my family. Kinda reminds me of “I have gone to prepare a place for you and now I am going to go get my bride.”  It has officially been a month now since I have seen my wife and kids. I miss them terribly.

Tonight was awesome!

Rockstar Logo

Tonight was incredible.  It was the end of our Rockstar series and Andy had a friend of his come in to give his testimony. He grew up with parents who were always high and he got involved in drugs at an early age too.  He basically went to talk about his jail time, all of his dead friends, hitting rock bottom and then finding Christ.  He gave an invitation and we had 48 people willing to stand up and leave the room to go speak to our adult/student leaders.  Based on the cards they filled out 22 people accepted Christ for the first time and 26 people recommited their lives.

I had the opportunity to pray with, answer questions, offer advice, and encourage 5 young guys. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do with them.  I’m praying for you guys! Jelani, Austin, Rashid, Tony, and Billy thanks for having the guts to take a stand for Christ tonight!
