Winter Parade in Springfield, MO 2013!!! - Darth Vader?!??

So I other than there being absolutely no parking, nor any clear instructions on where the beginning of the parade was, I finally found my my sisters, my mom, and two of her close friends.

It was your typical cold parade, minus the hot cider carts that I had growing up, but it still managed to keep alive with the odd twists I just never expect to see.

To highlight I saw Darth Vader in person! It was amazing.

hehe Miranda all ready to go!

Mom's hat...lol

<3

cold sisters

Still brainwashing kids :)

He was looking right at me!!!

It's still cool!

after the parade, warming their feet

Also... There was a spinning driving Porta Potty!  - This is a needed life experience... Can you imagine how crappy it was for the person inside??? ...cause he's on a toilet.. get it?  :p

Anyways always fun to see people coming up with new ideas!

IM BACK!!! for 2013!!! just took me a few months...

So here I am! Living in Springfield, MO with my beloved Kristina!

WHAT A BLESSING!!!

The past few months have been so new for me that I have a hard time keeping track of my thoughts. I started this blog last year so that I could sort out my thoughts and not let them get tangled into knots! Yet here I am NOT doing what I told myself I needed to do in order to be taking care of business.

So here I am! BACK! I know that I need to write and that I need to use my other blogs in order to keep my head straight! Everyday we are bombarded with overwhelming forms of media and information, I find it very helpful to have a place where I can put all this stuff down and feel lighter in the process.

I have a lot to post!!!

Although I am randomly writing right now, I have a video rendering at the moment to add to Kristina's Blog. It is about 5 min long and is a compilation of videos taken around Christmas time. I literally have about 4 different blogs that need several posts each. But simply writing this here is already making me feel like im getting some of it done!

I decided today, and after praying about it last night that I will attempt to ask for help so that I can make my wedding dreams come true :) I figure I can try and maybe nothing will happen, and in any case, if I do not try than I can only get nothing no matter what!

I found this site called indiegogo (http://www.indiegogo.com/) it allows people to begin campaigns in order to raise money for a cause. As selfish as I feel reaching out to others for money so that "I" can have my dream wedding, I've realized that God is here to provide for us, and that I must ASK in order to receive! I just finished a book (the boy who came back from heaven) and one of the messages that hit me was that God will use his hands and feet to help those in need. Meaning that other believers are out there and they are willing to help others. I pray that I am worthy of such things and I will begin my campaign as soon as possible. First I need to finish getting my blogs updated, next I will need to write a script so that I don't seem like a guy just trying to make a video for money. Luckily I have enough video and pictures to show people who care about me and my relationship with God and my engagement with my fiance Kristina! I trust that God will use those who are capable and willing to help me get to the next level in my life.

Ok well the video is done rendering and I need to get back to my posts... Anyways Thanks BLOG!

I will be back soon)

-GOD BLESS

Anxiety or Anger whats the difference?

^ my head ^

I am blessed person.

So why do I feel so selfish and unhappy?

My head is a terrible thing sometimes..

"Life is not easy and I cannot please everyone"

better written:

"Life is easy if you try to please only yourself"

or

"Life is meaningless if you try to please only yourself"

What is my life?  What is my purpose? What makes me happy?

What will I do to fight for life? What will I do to fight for a life I want?

Being taken advantage of..  How do I know when it's happening?

Follow the Golden Rule..

easy to desire... difficult to continue when your by yourself.

Support.

I need Support.

I want to be supportive as well.

Talking to myself in my blog is only somewhat helpful..

Now time to Open Photoshop and see what comes out of me...

I'm doing a good job keeping anger at bay while worry washes up on shore in droves... it's silly to be feeling either.

People are silly creations))

finding resources, in hopes to get a CELTA

Several weeks ago I applied for and was accepted to The Teaching House in Chicago, IL. This was in order to get a CELTA certificate that can be used for jobs all over the world in order to teach English to adults!

Currently I do not have enough money to actually go to this school. Sometimes I do things without having all things in alignment.. more or less hoping or trusting that a path will be given to me.

As I said I do not have a way to pay for this course and I do not know if it will become a reality at this point.

I have a widget that I have made but in my experience things like this go largely unnoticed.

oh money.. silly concept

yet it controls our lives..

Not for long.

I have hope for the future, even if I am not meant to take this class at this exact time.

Still I have to try everything and keep faith. I hope that things will work out.

Possibly time to make a quick youtube video explaining my situation, maybe actually do it!

I have a job interview this Tuesday!  

I need to thank God for the blessings that I do have and take care of what I can.

All I really want is to be educated, to be with my love, Kristina, my fiance, to have the tools that are necessary in order to provide for the family I wish to have. I trust that God will be with me and help will come in compliance with his plan.

Oh lord I am willing, please show me the way.
