She said YES!

whew!!! what a thrill to be carrying that ring in my pocket waiting for the right moment. i went down to see terrie and noah last week with an intent to propose. i've been walking with God for sometime now and have immersed myself in His Word. He promised to give me the desires of my heart if I would be obedient. well... i can't stop smiling and it feels great to take another step forward.

we love going to the beach and noah loves playing in the sand and seeing the water. the seagulls were awesome, they looked like little penguins and Noah had the best time chasing them. me and noah built sand castles while terrie picked up seashells.

then the moment presented itself... while noah was chasing some seagulls, terrie and i were sitting on our knees in the sand enjoying the beauty and wonder of our handsome little Noah. i slipped my hand in my pocket and pulled out the ringbox as she turned back to look at me.. i looked into her beautiful green eyes and said, God sure has brought us a long way... He's made me a better man and i want to be with you and love you and stand beside you. then after a deep breath and a quite pause, i opened the ringbox and said, will you marry me?

the next two or three minutes felt like an eternity until i heard her say in her gentle voice, yes! it was a perfect fit as i placed the ring on her finger... the sound of the waves and the wind was like a symphony playing in the background with a tiny voice of laughter from our little Noah playing in the distance.

Noah came up to us and Terrie asked Noah, do you think i should marry your daddy? ...he said, Uh huh...

Art is a beautiful thing... but the artist is amazing!

God is the Artist of my life and He has painted some remarkable things on the canvas of my soul. I look back on my life and can't help but be amazed at the joy that God has given me.

Sometimes, it's hard to see the picture He's working on but if we can be patient and fully submit our lives to Him, He will in fact reveal His handywork through our lives.

Last week, Enoch started reading his Bible in the same book that i was reading. We are both not far from finishing up the Old Testament. The scriptures were like a missing piece of a puzzle in my life. And when i put it in the right place, a remarkable picture of who i am was revealed.

God’s favor opens the doors that we cannot. His faithfulness reveals His love and He is always as near as the mention of His name.

My heart is so happy that at times it feels as though it is about to burst. It’s how it feels when you’ve worked out and your muscles get tight. Reading my Bible and praying has strengthened my heart and it feels wonderful.

Noah is SO Beautiful! I love this picture of him working with his artwork. God has great things in store for me, Terrie and our Beautiful Noah. God is faithful to reward them that diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).

Joy Unspeakable

for the past 6 weeks, i have submerged myself in the scriptures and so far, i've read proverbs, ecclesiates, song of solomon, isaiah, jeremiah, lamentations, ezekiel, lamentations, daniel, and hosea. today i started reading the book of Joel. it has truly washed my soul and renewed my walk with the Lord. it's as though God is talking to me all the time and it is truly "joy unspeakable".


when we get our life right with God, then everything else will come into place. i can testify that from the moment i put God first, things began to automatically change. the unbearable weights of guilt and shame were lifted from my shoulders and have been replaced with a sense of worth and freedom that words cannot justify.


Jesus loves me so much and has given me His favor. I'm happier than i have ever been in my life to know that good things are coming into my life. true happiness always starts with God being the center of our life and then everything else that we love begans to appear... now that's beautiful!

My Beautiful Terrie

it feels so good to be in love and also know that i'm in the will of God. in Sept of 2007, Terrie and I met and we instantly felt a closeness and friendship.

in January of 2008, i started working for a software company that was based out of St. George, Utah and i traveled all over the U.S.

one weekend while i was working in Atlanta, Terrie surprised me by coming to meet me and this picture is of us at the park in Atlanta. it was amazing to say the least...

in mid-summer of 2008, i stopped traveling with LearnKey and moved to Alabama to be with Terrie while Noah was still in the Ark. it was a fun summer with lots of trips to the lake. we love the water and have so much fun swimming and taking picnics.

this is a picture of us with our aprons on that Terrie's grandma made. we're getting ready to have some fun in the kitchen. we love food and enjoy each other's company in the kitchen.

Oct 18th, 2008, Noah was borned. He is now 2 1/2 years old and this is a picture of us at the beach on dauphin island. he is a reflection of both me and terrie.

he loves watching "Toy Story" and "Cars". when he wakes up in the mornings, he immediately starts smiling and stretches just as though a flower is opening.

God has assured me that He is going to give me my family. Terrie and Noah are my family and i have been praying for God to make a way for us to be together.

He told me a few months ago, that if i would be obedient, that He would give me the desires of my heart. i believe it's about to happen and i'm so excited to know that God is control and is steering my ship.

my cup runneth over

all good things come from above and God has certainly filled my cup with good things over the past two months. the good things started on the very day i started obeying the voice of God. he told me a couple of months ago that if i would be obedient to Him that He would bring great opportunities to me. He told me that i didn't have to turn the world upside down and try to make things happen.

God has washed away the stress from my life and has filled my cup with the Joy of the Lord. it's almost like the things that i've been wanting to happen has already happened in my heart. even though my circumstances hasn't completely changed yet, i can feel with the certainty of heaven that God is steering my life.
