Appreciation Day 4

Day 4 of my appreciation blog. I feel like I am really starting to enjoy writing these and I feel that though sometimes I am not good at words when it comes to telling someone that I appreciate them, this is helping. So this blog goes out to a guy who no matter what is going on he will always stop and take time to pray with you if you need prayer. This is a guy who constantly checked up on me during a really rough time in life my sophomore year of college. Even when I was never around and falling out the church he always checked up on me and wanted to make sure everything was alright. This guy means a lot to me and I am glad that he has been in my life ever since I have entered college.

So this blog goes out to my friend Stanley Wingard. You always have a caring heart and want to me sure that people are truly doing well. You truly show 1 Corinthians 9:19 when it says that “even though you are a free man you make yourself a slave to win as many as possible.” This is so true because you are willing to put yourself second in order to glorify God and to help people. Man this is much appreciated and I am thankful that soon enough you are going to be down in Texas hanging out with me. Much appreciation goes out to you man. Love ya.


Also realized we do not have a picture together so this picture goes out to the greatness of sledding with a truck liner. 

Appreciation Day 3

Day 3 of this blog I think it is time to show some love to a girl whose friendship is dear to me here at WKU. So this blog goes out to the only girl I know who gives me a run for my money at being to competitive. Also the girl who at one time had to listen to me boss her around as Outreach Exec when she was in charge or intramurals. And then she had to deal with me as her co-leader for freshman family groups. So I want to show some appreciation to the one girl out of my friends here at college who has had to deal with me probably the most.

So Sara Clifton this goes out to you. I promise that in everything you do if you keep God number 1 you will amount to amazing things. Also know that if you ever become a general manager of a baseball team or hockey team that I will be calling for free tickets and free stuff. Also every team needs a Chaplin which goes right up my ally. But keep your head held high and keep pressing, you have had a great impact on many lives more so than you can probably imagine. Keep it up and remember to keep in touch when we both move away in about a month.

Also the picture below goes out to our days as being in charge or Freshman. 

Appreciation Day 2

Well day 2 of my Appreciation blog goes out to probably one of the most encouraging people I know. Always makes sure to check and see how people are doing and I honestly believe he cares. So this blog goes out to my man Marcus Bagwell. A man who challenges anyone who comes in contact with him to shine Christ in all times. A man who even though he seems to be doing a million things at once always has time to stop and talk to people. A person who honestly makes me want to be a better person and deepen my faith in Christ. It is a blessing to see your heart for ministry and how much you truly do put your best into everything you do. You truly show that everything you do you do as if working for the Lord and that truly is a blessing.

Man I remember the days when you were a freshman and I was helping lead worship and getting to know you from that experience. I am thankful to this day we became friends and you did not kill me from that experience. Because as you know a guy like me can me a sounds guys worst nightmare because apparently I sing loud enough without a mic.  

Love ya my man and I know God is calling you to huge things and I am excited to see where that will lead you. Whether that be here in the states or even farther away I know God will use you to change hearts as He already has. Keep it up man and keep in touch even though I am moving 12 hours away. Love ya

Appreciation

Well I have not written a blog in quite sometime. Not really sure why that is maybe I am trying to make the best of the time I have left and sometimes people get upset by my blog. Now it is not like me to care but I guess I want everyone to be happy until I leave because there is something not exciting about moving 12 hours away when you know someone that I call a friend is mad at me. Maybe it is just God trying to teach me a thing or two about not trying to upset people but those people this blog offends at time look past the point that everything I write is directed at myself and my battles with sin. I try not to write anything that I have not dealt with or are not still dealing with.

Well a long intro to this blog makes you wonder what this will be about doesn’t it? I am thinking about writing over the next month a series of blogs dedicated to certain people in my life that have helped impact me and my time here in Bowling Green as a student at WKU. Maybe it is because it is thanksgiving season or something but I feel this will be a good way to show my appreciation for people since it is normally not my strong point to show appreciation. Also do not feel upset over the next month if your name does not show up. Everyone who reads this means more to me then you could ever understand. I truly love all the encouragement I have got from you all. So please know that I do appreciate you even if your name does not show up.

Well first up on this list of people comes a dear friend who I am surprised we have become such great friends. This is a guy who I know did not like me very much at first but now we have become great friends and I know this guy truly would do anything to help a friend. From our days in D-group together or from our days just sitting and talking or to the more recent days of geocaching and ping pong. This guy has been a true encouragement to me. It is odd to think that for a couple years it looked like he was following my footsteps at the BCM. First taking over Campus Events after me and then taking over Outreach Exec after I did and to think about how this guy has challenged me in ways I could not imagine.

So this blog entry goes out to my boy Adam Drummond. You are a light in the darkness and even if sometimes it gets a little foggy out the light will always shine through. Keep strong my man I know God has amazing things planned for you and you have truly blessed many people. You are truly one person I will miss having around when I move away but I know that we will keep in touch. Keep your head held high and keep pressing!! Love ya man
