So you may be asking yourself, "How does a fifth guy move in to a house where there are already more guys than there are bedrooms?" The answer is that I don't really have a bedroom. Well I kind of do. It's behind a couch...on the floor. I call it more of an area than a bedroom.
Since I have moved in, I have been feeling the Lord doing a great deal of work in me; not that he wasn't before I moved in, but I have been able to focus more on Him and have been spending so much more time digging through the Word since I have been here (probably due to the lack of television). For those of you who know me, you know that karate is a big part of my life. I have been training in karate for years and for the past 2 years I have been the head instructor of a karate school in Hugo, but over the past few months the thought has been in the back of my head that the Lord has something for me that is much bigger and much more glorifying to Him than karate. I just kept shoving those thought back down and kept karate on that stand above God in my life. I had big plans for my life and I was planning on going places and wasn't about to change them.
But it was shortly after I moved in when I finally heard God say, "Time to live for Me!"
So as of April 1, I will no longer be head instructor of USA Karate Hugo and I am okay with that. When people ask what I'm going to do with my life, well I guess I don't know yet. I am constantly reminded though of Jeremiah 29:11 which states, "For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Now about the piranhas. I recently acquired a fish tank and some piranhas..three of them to be exact. Their names are Manfred, Yancey and Trevor (after Trevor Johnson). They live happily in our living room/kitchen area and I believe that they all love life. They enjoy eating (sometimes each other) and swimming and hiding in the treasure chest that they have. About the live goldfish...I'll let you figure that out :)
God Bless

Awesome man! I love to hear how God moves us in other directions than we thought we were going. Keep listening to Him and you will experience the richness of life.
Loved the feeding on Sunday! I'll be back.
