Bad luck

first of all i'd like to say that last week was not my week.
i don't think i've ever had so much bad luck in my entire life combined. as the result of that i took a minuscule break from blogger.
so my apologies.

it's now a new week and i prayed that i will never have to experience my days awaiting the next bad thing to happen to me. pathetic, but it was to that point after day two. monday is over and so far so good.

besides all my bad luck i managed to make way for some good times last weekend. for the first time ever i got to shoot my first handgun. i was thrilled with excitement all day. it wasn't until i was behind the gun where i felt shaky and apprehensive. never in my life did i think i would be behind a weapon that has the potential of taking a life away. of course pulling the trigger was the hardest part. after my first shot i was completely filled with adrenaline. i didn't want to put it down, to say the least.

on sunday, i volunteered to work at my church for a huge event we were hosting. Brian "Head" Welch made his appearance to share his astonishing story. for those who have no idea who i am talking about he was the lead guitarist for Korn. the heavy metal stuff that makes my ears bleed. Taylor and I got to work merchandise together. the best part of all this was we got to sit next to him the whole time he was doing book signing. having small talk during those two hours allowed me to see that God is truly living in him.

it is so awesome to see someone who consumed drugs daily turn his life around and is now living for the one who died for him. it's almost as if God wanted him to do something big all along. God knew that Brian had so much potential in his life that He could use him to reach out to others. Brian was so down to earth and if you look past his crazy dreads and tattoos he has a soft heart. i'm so thankful i got to meet him and listen to his story. i know that their were broken people that night that felt moved through what Brian shared. he instilled hope to the lost and encouraged people to believe that God hasn't forgotten about them.

my favorite quotes from him was..

"Weed can take you high, but God can take you higher" 


That is 100% true. listen to his story. there's still hope for the weak. and that will never change.
