The power of service

This weekend I had the awesome opportunity to help Josh Kimble put in marble countertops at the training center. Some people may not see that as a big deal put Josh and pastor Tim really needed help so I told them I would step in and help. Even though it was a lot of work me and Jodh still had fun.

I got to the training center around 9:30 and did not leave until around 1:30 so i would say I was at the training center for four and a half hours. The only reason it was that short is because me and Jeremiah Brooks went to the batting cage to finish my bodyshop hours.

The lives that we impacted im not really sure of, I guess I would have to say anyone who uses the training center they have nice countertops they can use instead of regular tables which is a good thing.

We can use this ministry to help anyone who needs help in there homes or with anything with building or putting something together. I think Josh and I make a good team we are both funny but are very hard workers and we can get anything done with hardwork and determination.

This is the closest thing I could find to the style of countertop that is in the training center.

The power of Prayer!!!

So one thing that I have learned about myself this week is that my prayers do make it to God and he does answer them. The reason why I say this is because I have been praying ever since I got saved that my sisters would accept Christ into there lives and turn from there old lives. For the longest time I didn't think God was hearing my prayers. Until yesterday I was talking to one of my sisters on Facebook and I was just talking to her telling her i was praying for her and stuff like that, Then what she said next shocked me. She said she broke up with her boyfriend of almost three years because she knew that the way she was living wasn't right and she accepted Christ into her life. That gave me so much hope that if she can do it my other sister Brittany can too. I am continually praying for her everyday. if you ever think that God can't hear your prayers think again!! He hears them but he answers them on his time not ours.

The true Test

So this week for my bodyshop I continued my workout downstairs with lifting wieghts and doing more push-ups and sit-ups. But the highlight of my Bodyshop was friday, Friday afternoon I went with Jeremiah Brooks to the batting cage and the indoor basketball court. We played basketball for about 20 mins then for the last 40 mins we went into the batting cage. Now I haven't played baseball in over four years so I was a little rusty but it was all for fun so we started with 50 mph then on to 60 mph just for a warm up. Then me and Jeremiah wanted to have a contest on who could hit the most baseballs. Needless to say even though I was rusty I beat him 11-10. The true test of who was the better hitter.

The health benefits of going to the batting cage and playing basketball is to help me get my cardio good and to build muscle in my arms and legs. The health benefits for lifting wieghts is to build muscle in my arms legs and torso.

Putting myself in Their shoes!!!

So last thursday we had the experience to be homeless for the night. The experience was already going to be an amazing experience. But that all changed around 2:30 friday morning it started to get really cold and unbarable. This really made me realize what homeless people go through everyday and it really made me realize that I take alot of thingsfor granite in my life and it really made me appreciate all the things i have in my life. Saturday morning we had the opportunity to hand out Hot chocolate to homeless people, In this event I got to make some new friends with those people. And i remember a friend I met there named George he told me that if I do not stay in school and do the right thing that I would end up just like him and he knew that God had awesome things in store for me. When he said that it really made me appreciate the things and the people that I have in my life.

The Workout

This is my post for body shop. The physical activities I completed for this week was just lifting wieghts, doing push-ups, sit-ups, and jogging around the block of my neighborhood.

I did my first day of lifting wieghts and doing curls. I did that for an hour straight. then I did pushups and situps and ran around the block the next two days.

The health benefits of running is to get my cardio in great shape so i dont loose breath easy. Lifting wieghts and doing push-ups and sit-ups is to help get my arms stronger and every other part of my body strong.
