Lord We Thank You
Where do you have me next God? What role do you want me to fill in this world? How can I have the most impact for your Kingdom?
These are questions I hope everyone has and will continue to ask in their own life. I know I do.
This past week marked my 3rd ever 5K Run. Thank you Lord for giving me a body that allows me to run and jump and swim. Lord please watch over all those who are currently in pain. Bring healing to those who suffer from emotional and physical ailments. Be a light to all those who are in dark places.
Give me a hunger for Your word God. Allow my heart to break for what breaks Yours. Speak through me Lord in what I say, do, and think. Watch over my family and friends and co-workers. Their role in my life has shaped me into the person I am today.
Lord please bring peace to my busy schedule, allow me to feel rest through what I do.
And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Easter Time is Here
For those who don’t know, I’ve been asked to help out over at Discovery Church during Status (a young adult hipster night service). Next week, for lack of a better word, I’ll be helping run the show. They already have such an incredible team of light, sound and slide directors but still need someone to just help oversee a few things. Im honored that they would ask me. I’ve been praying for God to help me see more ways of getting involved at my church, and I guess this is His answered prayer.
This whole month is going to be a bit of a struggle with all the things on my plate. Work is getting crazy, and I love it! I’ll be leaving Skype on a lot while I’m at the office during office hours and after. Do you want to chat during renders?
Finally these past few weeks have been very hard to continue on my reading plan. I’ve been having some real trouble getting up early in the morning and getting into His word. What a blessing it was seeing my Uncle Marty and Aunt Joa this weekend! I truly treasure the relationship I have with my family and cousins. I am always overjoyed to see them and hear how things are going in their life. I loved seeing you Uncle Marty, Aunt Joa, CJ, Grace and Catie (sp).
Happy Easter everyone…He is Risen!
Where did February Go?
As some of you may know it’s now March, meaning February has come and gone. As some of you may ALSO know I didn’t send out a monthly prayer letter for February. What say you there JP? No letter! Do you care little for us?!?!? Calm down everyone, I too am bummed I didn’t put together a letter. Let me explain briefly.
It’s 3:30AM as we speak and I’m sitting at First Presbyterian Church of River Forest editing a video. Wait a second? Are you back in High School again JP? Ok I’m done doing this double voice thing, no I’m back in River Forest to celebrate the life of Scott Gianopoulos. One my best friends died 6 days ago. Don’t worry, Scott knew the Lord and I’m stoked he’s no longer in pain…but his passing has been hard for me and the countless of other people he influenced during his lifetime. I’ve spent the day laughing with old friends, meeting new ones, and crying over the passing of a great man.
With all that said I’ve been flying back and forth from Florida to Chicago, also currently staffing Big Break in Panama City Beach, and finalizing my plans for the future. NoBigDeal. I will send out a super special March Letter, I promise. But in the mean time I really only ask ya’ll for one thing: Please be praying for the Gianopoulos Family. Dr. John, Lori, Jeff, and Chris are going to be on my heart and I know any prayers we can send their way will help in the days to come.
Sorry I don’t blog more. Check Facebook for all my new photos. Check YouTube for all my new videos. ”Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind.”
Dear Blog,
It has been MONTHS since I’ve updated you. And for that I am truly sorry. My plan is to send a big update out at the end of the month to catch everyone up on the incredible things happening in Orlando. Till then…I sleep
Cookies
Why did no one ever tell me baking cookies was so much fun? Friday night at the MANsion…I might need to get out more.
Our fire for God can’t burn unless it has fuel. Maybe it’s time I started filling my head with more fuel.
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
Make sure you read the part about the internet…”finally a place where we can all be alone, together.”
About me
Welcome everyone to my blog. Here's you'll find stories, pics, quotes, convos, and videos that I'll be updating every week. This blog was started summer of 2010, I'll try to keep it up-to-date. Remember this whole blog is usually maintained via my cell phone so I'll keep the stories short.
