Go Buy Ragamuffin Soul

cdwalker247 — Sat, 01 May 2010 19:47:04 +0000

There is this guy who I know through the Internets and his name is Carlos Whittaker. Go read his blog here. He probably doesn’t know me, but that is beside the point. Anyway, he is trying to feed his family and one of the ways that he does that is through music. He just released his first album ever this past week and it is rockin! It is a worship album and even my kids like it. See the vid below of KC dancing and she tells you to go buy the album right now at the end if you didn’t catch what she was saying.

You can listen to the whole album here.

You can buy it here. Ragamuffin Soul

You can download it here.

Oh, and don’t forget to watch the promo video below while KC dances to her fav song on the record.

Friday Weigh In Week # 13

cdwalker247 — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 12:58:12 +0000

Last week's weight – 276.2 lbs.

Current weight – 273.4 lbs.

So 2.8 lbs seemed like a lot to lose in a week to me, but I am not complaining. The doctor said that I should lose about 1 pound per week to do it the right and healthy way. If you lose weight too quickly, you tend to gain it back very easily. So I hope that I am not burning it off too quickly. But the good old formula of diet and exercise is still as successful as ever. There is no quick and easy weigh to lose weight. I have been tracking what I eat at http://www.livestrong.com/myplate/. It makes it very easy to look up just about any food that I can think of. It covers restaurants and also lets me create my own meals and enter calories manually. It also lets me track and chart my weight and my fitness activity. The best part about this online tracker is that it is free. I feel pretty good right now as I am slowly making some big lifestyle changes when it comes to eating better.

Getting Quiet

cdwalker247 — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:42:14 +0000

My life can be chaotic. I have a family, I have a job, I serve at church and sometimes life feels so demanding of me. It is easy for me to give my time to my family and to church, but it is difficult to find time to sit still and be quiet for more than a couple of minutes. I want to be more intentional about planning for times of solitude for both Faith and I even if it is for just an hour. In that time of solitude, I should not use it to sleep or read. I just want to focus and listen to hear God's voice. I need to take time to allow God to fill me back up. It is easy to go all day giving and working and pouring out my heart, soul, mind, and strength only to find myself crashing at the end of the day.

Are you making time to refresh your soul?

Struggle Well! Wait in Hope!

cdwalker247 — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:17:56 +0000

This is where I am at right now. If you are here with me, I hope this encourages you as it did me.

Lent Day 19: The Book of Habakkuk

God says, never ignore your struggle with how I do things. Ask every question that rises in your heart as you live in this world. But prepare yourself to struggle even more with My response. You must stumble in confusion before you dance with joy.

Know this: those who live by faith will struggle in ways that those who live to make their lives work will never know. It is that struggle, to believe despite desperate pain and confusion that a good plan is unfolding, that will open your eyes to see Me more clearly. Is that what you want? Will you pay the price?

The price is this: you will tremble in agony as you live in a sinful, self-prioritizing world. You will learn to wait in emptiness and frustrated desire for My plan of love to reveal itself. With confidence in Me and hope in My plan, you will not only feel the pain of living in the valley but also see My glory from the mountaintop of faith.

Only those who struggle in confusion and wait in hope will be strengthened to struggle well and to wait with confidence.

Struggle well! Wait in hope!

Are You Ready To Be Free?

cdwalker247 — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:43:38 +0000

VCC started the Free series this week joining like 50 other churches in the area for the same 6 week journaling and small group experience. I haven't even met with my small group yet to start digging into it all, but I already find myself examining my life and praying about the areas of my life where I feel trapped. It has been a heavy thinking week for me as far as spiritual matters. I am reading 'In A Pit With A Lion on a Snowy Day' by Mark Batterson and I am devouring it. I am wondering what lions I should be chasing right now. Fear has been a common topic in my head. I am realizing that there are fears that I have allowed to creep into my life that are holding me back. The hard part is unlearning those fears. I feel that exhilarating times with God are coming soon. I am looking for a movement or a revival that could be personal or bigger than that. I have no clue as to what is coming or how I play a part in it, but I want to be ready when it comes. Are you ready to be free?

Spring Come Quickly

cdwalker247 — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 18:28:07 +0000

Today, pitchers and catchers reported. There is a couple of feet of snow on the ground outside. I am tired of shoveling the stuff into the already massive piles on the sides of my driveway. Football is over and I wouldn't miss the NBA if it went away. It will be a month before college basketball heats up. I am looking for the warm weather and some sunshine. I have had enough winter in the last two weeks to last me for a few years. Can someone tell the ground hog that his shadow will not hurt him. Not sure how he sees it when the sun isn't ever out anyway. Anyone want to pay to send me to Spring Training in Arizona or anywhere that is warm? Spring come quickly and relieve us from winter so I can cook meat outside and enjoy a hot dog at the ball park.

What Is Your God Sized Dream?

cdwalker247 — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 14:15:43 +0000

I asked this question on Twitter and Facebook last week and received a few answers from people. Thanks to everyone who responded.

I asked this question because I feel like I am having a hard time figuring out my own dream. Some times it feels like I have too many and my brain gets all full and I have problems focusing on one thing. The biggest thing crushing my attempts to discern what I should be doing is time. I have come up with a few ideas that I planned through and put into action only to see my lack of time to committ to the project for it to get any traction. Many times my ideas lose traction because of some other circumstance that prevents me from following through. I also think that I get bored easily too. I want to chase the new and the fresh, but when my dream is no longer new and fresh, it loses its luster.

I believe that God has big things lined up for me to serve Him, but I am having a hard time figuring out how. I have a wide variety of skills and passions, but I am not sure where to put them all to really good use. Right now it is God and Family. But I can't help but feel like there is more. I think this is Satan's way of distracting me with keeping me busy and screwing with my focus. I am working on simplifying my life a little bit so that I can hopefully find that focus and clarity where I can think straight. It is going to take a lot of work to get there.

How are you discerning what your dreams are and how are you going about following them?
