Twitter

Hey everyone just thought I'd write a little note today. I joined twitter this morning so basically I can tell everyone everything I'm doing all the time on one more website it's great and should be fun. Friday afternoon I have a ride along for a big job I am trying to get it won't effect my current job I just won't be in the office as much. But I would like prayer because I would really like it if my wife didn't have to go back to work. She is such a great mom and I think it's cool when mommies stay home with their kids, and believe it or not she doesn't even read this so I won't be getting any brownie points for saying it. But the prayer would be awesome. Yah know today it's raining which shouldn't be a surprise considering we are in Ohio and it's early spring. Rain is such an awesome gift from God, not only does it wash away all that nasty road salt but it brings flowers out of the ground and makes the grass grow. Which in turn provides food for all kinds of animals he is such a provider but most of the time when we see rain we just wish it would go away. For the most part I agree rain rain go away but let the flowers a and grass and animals catch a quick drink, then bring on the sun and some 70 degree days. God wants us to think in kiss mode meaning keep it simple saints yes he can be complicated but noticing things like the provision of rain keeps him fresh on our minds and hearts. So here's to you God thanks for the drink now how about some sun. Love you God and thanks.

Back In The Saddle Again

Baylee and Piper

Baby Piper

I'm back baby. First day back in the office after being off for about a week or so to help out my wife with our new baby. It feels good to be back but strange all at the same time. Anyhow Piper is here and the rest they say is history. God is so good, like I said in my last blog when He speaks and you listen good things follow. This all started around the 10-11 months ago a friend of ours was praying to have a child and got a message from the Lord that she and my wife would have babies. Now to my wife and I this was a surprise our daughter Baylee was born at 24 weeks and even though God was so good to us and she is now 4 we thought we'll never have a kid again. But after we prayed and it was confirmed to us that this was what God wanted us to do Lydia got pregnant so did our friend by the way and their son was born two days after Piper. The point is that we listened and got rewarded for it. Hillsong United has a song called Devotion haven't heard you should, but it says "when you speak the fiercest of oceans is still". If this is true how come when he speaks to us we just roll on like nothing happened. By the way I don't recommend living that way its just the way most people are. Let me put this in a Biblical prospective. This come from a study called Chase the Lion by Mark Batterson. Abraham is told by God to kill his only son as a sacrifice, he does so and becomes the father of the Jews God's chosen people, yeah reality check the USA is not God's chosen people. Anyways he could have said no and we prolly would have never heard from him again and maybe some guy named Ned would be the father of the Jews. Basically it would have changed everything in the Bible besides Jesus I guess one persons descion could have and did effect many. But one of the questions in the study was "which relationship would you have been more worried about losing the one with your son or with God?" Now like good little church goer's we all said God, but on the daily do we choose to preserve our relationship with God or rather with our friends, family members, or even the random person on the street. We are no different than Abraham just cause we aren't going to be the father or mother of a nation doesn't mean that our not doing something for the Lord won't have the same effect. Now God will always find someone else to do his work but why not just do what he asks and leave the rest to him. I'm just saying the next time he speaks and you don't listen to save face or to not offend someone or make yourself feel uncomfortable remember that's your opportunity to do what God wants and to be an Abraham all at the same time. So grab that thing and make it happen or he'll find someone who will.

New Baby

Hey everyone haven't really been on here recently. Don't know if I'm bored with it or just don't have anything profound to say. But anyhow I've got some huge news Lydia and I welcomed are second daughter Piper Realyn Gordon into this world Monday night. Here are the numbers 5lbs 15oz and 19 inches. Everything is going well and its funny to have a regular sized kid. Don't have to much to say other than when God's speaks and you listen the result is awesome. So listen up people thanks for your prayer I will try to get some pictures up here soon. Have a good one.
