Samuel and two rotten eggs.

1 Samuel has a lot of meat and theology. The beginning has the components of a faithful women who loves and obeys the Lord.Hannah comes year after year with her husband Elkanah. Now the other part of the story is that Elkanah has two wives. In that culture, multiple wives was the norm. His other wife was able to have children. Elkanah being the good husband he was, asked am I not enough? In a sense ,he was asking are you not satisfied with what you have? Maybe we can do that in our own lives. Have it all together , but there is something more we want. Hannah wanted a son. We are allowed to desire things in our life. God is faithful and wants to see these desires come to pass. I know for my own life I have seen the Lord bless and provide the desires of my heart. Hannah cries out to God asking for a son and Eli sees her crying out. He thought she was drunk , but her desire went pass words , but of extreme yearn. What is your your action for a desire you want to come to pass in your life? Maybe a something as simple as a good day or a college experience that will impact your education for a better job opportunity, or even a child of your own. God will give it.Psalm 37:4Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 

Community Leader Interview

Barry Knight is a Delegate for the state of Virginia. He grew up in Va Beach in a place called Pungo. I grew up there. His son went to my parents Christian school called Back Bay Academy. SO when he got elected he had my dad pray at his opening speech for taking the position  in our capital Richmond,Va. During election time our Church is used for a voting station. So the night he got elected I got to see him and he ask me to thank my dad again for letting us use the church building and being a support in the community for him. He goes to a baptist church four miles south of us. A cool fact its the 7th oldest church in America. He has a lot of family that have been apart of that for years as one can imagine. He has been apart of helping Va Beach a better family place and making sure business get treated fairly. He loves the area where he serves and wants the area to be successful in all avenues. He is a great man and good politician. He loves his family and works hard.

New Christian Blog

At my youth group a younger guy in middle school got saved last semester. He grew in a non-christian home and really knew nothing about Christianity, but God had a different plan for him. I did not get to see the life transformation of his beginning walk I saw him in December during Christmas break. The pastor has mentored him from day one. So I started talking to him and he was pumped about reading the Bible everyday and the ride home from youth with one of the youth leaders they talk about God. His hunger is evident. Every week at youth they have altar calls I remember them when I attended youth God is still leading a generation that his hungry for his presence and he his getting fed truth and the Amazing work of the Holy Spirit. So growing up in a family that does not live for God is his most challenge. The most important way to grow is to serve and stay connected in the house of God. An endless pursuit of Gods presence can never dry. So I am glad to see him meet the Lord and know him like this.

Final Project

This year I got participate in Penndels youth convention. This year theme was compelled. My part that I played in was helping the media department. I had to pack the trailer and get all the the gear ready for the cameras and video world as they call to control and send the commands that the director gives. I enjoyed all the work we had to do to prepare to make the convention happen. We made the bells and whistles of the services happen. Without the work of the guys make videos and working the cameras, the extra element of the visual part of the way we communicate the gospel would not be there with out the media team. I love the Penndel district I feel at home here and the things God has given opportunity to serve has been past my understanding and control. God has blessed me there to be here at this in is will. I also had the privilege to hold all the receipts for the department. Its a big deal to hold them so that the spending can be accurately accounted for. I made a lot crimps for the cameras cables. During the service I had to do a quick fix here and there. The crowd made that a fun task trying to concentrate working on the gear. I also did the dolly pull working on pan shots of the crowd and stage. It took two people to operate this and the camera. While the crowd was praising and jumping our main focus was to capture the moment of the experience the youth were having. I can only step back in awe of who God is and the love he had for the 7000 students represent their home and family life. To be apart of this ministry has stretched me and has blessed me tremendously.  I love blessing the people and youth that need Jesus. It is exciting to be part of the work of the Lord.
