Updates on the Job Hunt
So basically the main prospect is Young Life. Wow, I'm thinking ahead and I can really make this blog long if I describe everything. And while a long blog here would be cool for me to look back in the future, I think that a short and to the point blog will be better.
Because Young is probable and because I get some nice unemployment checks every month, Anna and I decided to have me go full time with StepStone Designs. About Young Life (YL) though, here's the skinny...
Anna and I met with Angel Ruiz (Western Regional Director VP) on Saturday the 17th of January. We had a great time talking. We then went and visited Tony Gonzalez up in San Francisco and he had some great insight into the whole dilio. We are now waiting for the Northern Regional Director to call us and he should do so by Friday the 23rd. I will be at a men's retreat, but they told me that we would have signal there so I'm keeping my eyes open for his phone call. If that phone call on Friday goes well, then we would more than likely get invited to Chicago in the next couple of weeks to check out the place and the peeps. After that, we could be on board within 1 to 2 months. If Chicago doesn't work, there is still a big possibility with Memphis, TN - Atlanta, GA - Orlando, FL - Miami, FL. Sooooo, LORD please continue to guide our steps. We feel that there are no red flags right now and are excited to see what the LORD has with this.
Keep tuned for more :)

Isaiah 30:1-5
I love how the LORD is a jealous being. If there's a party, He wants to be the center of attention. If there's a problem, He wants to be the answer. If there's a sadness, He wants to be the comforter...
This morning I read this passage that was passed on to me by both my parents.. So I listened and read...
1-5 "Doom, rebel children!" God's Decree.
"You make plans, but not mine.
You make deals, but not in my Spirit.
You pile sin on sin,
one sin on top of another,
Going off to Egypt
without so much as asking me,
Running off to Pharaoh for protection,
expecting to hide out in Egypt.
Well, some protection Pharaoh will be!
Some hideout, Egypt!
They look big and important, true,
with officials strategically established in
Zoan in the north and Hanes in the south,
but there's nothing to them.
Anyone stupid enough to trust them
will end up looking stupid—
All show, no substance,
an embarrassing farce."
Isaiah 30:1-5 (The Message)
---LORD, let this not be us. It will NOT be us. For as me and MA HOUSEHOLD... we will serve da LORD! (Joshua 24:15). LORD I feel that this could very well be from you, but I'm scared to go against You. Well, I'm scared... but what am I scared about?
(sitting and thinking)
I'm scared that I have not prayed hard enough, that I have not looked to Him hard enough. I think of people that pray day and night and they put me to shame. Bu I have prayed... maybe not with wailing and fasting, but I have prayed. And I have prayed constantly, every day, at meals, with my wife at night, on the way to work with her, randomly... I guess I have prayed a lot... or at least like the Apostle Paul says... I have prayed constantly. So maybe this fear is a healthy fear. A healthy fear that I should always have. Of course it is!
LORD, I neeeeeeed You! I neeeeeed you to be the focus of my family. Not a single step do I want to take without You. And I repent for getting caught up in the hype and leaving you out of the center of attention. LORD I feel that this Young Life opportunity is from You and I remember you telling me right after I left SF that I would be involved in Young Life in the future... My Triune God, I know it's not time to party yet as You have not melted Your Holy Spirit wax to pour on the document of acceptance on this opportunity, but I look forward to the day when You do, and I also look forward to seeing Christ Jesus' ring seal the document by pressing it against the deep red wax. Father I look forward to hearing the Your voice declaring that this ministry and others are now a covenant between You and my family. Oh how I look forward to that day... The day of rejoicing. And I rejoice now thinking about the covenant fulfilled. I can do nothing else than thank You LORD. Thank You while I jump and thank You while I kneel.

First of the Year - 2009
The first of the year… I’m sitting here in bed and I’m writing this post on my laptop which means that I won’t be able to save this post to my blog until I get back home. Bummer… but I get to write.
I’m not feeling 100% right now; partly because I ate too much last night :) and partly because I’m probably starting to get sick. Anna is also here next to me and she has a sore throat so that means that I’m probably getting sick from her. Oh well, I just hope that we’re better in 10 days so that it won’t affect our trip back to the US.
We had such a great time yesterday. We ate dinner at 10:30 and got HECKA loud at midnight when we got to 2009. We drank Cidra and hugged and kissed everyone wishing them a great new year. Then came the super fun part! I had spent a fair amount of money buying fireworks earlier in the day and we went outside to light them! It was great to see Anna be the first one to go get our fireworks and yell “VAMOS!” at me from the other end of the house. We went outside and had a blast lighting all the fireworks! You’ll see a video of it soon :)
We then went back inside and stayed up until about 2 or 2:30 eating more food, laughing with the family, and playing cards. By the way, Anna is kicking my butt in Speed 11-7. We’re going with a lifetime score keeping until someone is 15 games ahead… I hope we never reach that or if we do, I hope that I win, haha!
I gotta get up now but I really do want to thank God for this new year and for the opportunity that he gave me to see the rest of my family here in Argentina that I never get to see. I haven’t seen my family for over 8 years!! It’s such a blessing, thank you LORD. And thank you LORD for my wife and for our first holidays together as a married couple. It’s been great and I cannot wait to see how this next year shapes up and what You have in store for us. Thank you.
