The Latest Edition

So I woke up this morning at 6:30 am, did some clothes, and I'm standing at the kitchen sink drinking some water when Seith walks in and I'm surprised and all like, "Hey what's up man!", and he's like "Hey!". Then I stared at him for a couple of seconds and remembered that someone told me the other day that he was gonna get in today. For some reason I thought they meant next week. I'm a bona fide gen-ee-us.

We're gonna be busy this month. Trips will include services in Monroe, Marksville, Franklin, Sulpher, and Fine Arts in Lafayette. We'll get to hang out with Crossroads MC in Lafayette so I'm definitely looking forward to that. I think Central MC from Haughton will be there too, and we go together with them like Kool-Aid and water. We just mix right.

Everything's good here, by the way. I'm just trying to get what all God wants to give me in the next couple of months. I'm fighting the urge to just put everything on cruise and coast through the rest of the year, but I know that I can't do that and I don't want to, either. I know that God usually does His best work in the last minute, so I want to be in tune with Him.

You guys are the best xangonians on this entire dual-hemisphere called earth, so I know that you'll leave me a bunch of comments cuz you know I like 'em.

God bless,
Seth 

P.S.
Last night there was an election for a new pastor. The results were for him by a 99% majority. You should've seen the reaction when that result was read. People went nuts. Happy nuts. He said he'd have to think about everything for a couple of days so we'll know whether or not he accepted by next Sunday.

Suspense is so much fun.

Another HOT post from the HOT guy....... or maybe not so hot. Either way, this is a post.

So I'm sleeping in bed Sunday night when I get woke up by Blaine who's telling me that I've gotta get dressed quickly. It's like, 2:30 in the morning and I'm aggravated now because I was sleeping soundly and now I've been disturbed out of my....hmmhmm.... sleep. So I get dressed and go to the living room to find all the Master's students and Pastor Tim and Mrs. Jen in the living room. They tell me that something has happened with a couple of the youth kids and my first reaction was, "Oh no, someone's dead". However, I'm told that they were playing around with a ouija board and a demon manifested and some really crazy stuff happened. I'm a little freaked out now and we start praying really hard against the demon, then we load up and go to the house and proceed to anoint the entire place with oil and prayer. It was a very weird experience. God showed up, though, and that place was clean when we left.

Kids, don't mess with demonic stuff. It's no joke.

Ouija boards aren't toys.

So, now that I've told you that, let's talk about convention. I had a good time, but I was so tired by the time it was over I felt like I could sleep for hours. God did so much though, and I'm glad I could be there. It was a great turnout. I heard the number in attendance was better than 2,000.

I miss you guys, and I'm looking forward to being with ya'll again. Til then, though, count the days and pray for MC. We need it. The end of the year is gonna be packed.

Love you guys. God bless,
One very awesome dude.

I have exactly 12 minutes to tell you peeps what's up.

Here goes.....

Tiffany and I preached last Wednesday. Thanks to God, we were able to put the sermon together and deliver it without totally screwing it up.

Went to Winnfield last weekend and did a Sunday morning Service. It was awesome. God moved, and I learned a lot of things that I have don't have time to write about.

Friday: Rocky Branch Assembly is showing Narnia at 7 pm. All are invited. Whether you've seen it or not, come.

Next week: Convention. I can't wait to see you guys.

Now for the long haul. This is probably the most personal post I've ever done here. Take a few minutes and read it. I want to tell you guys how awesome God is.

Youth Explosion in Illinois was INCREDIBLE!
I could never fully explain on a computer what God has done in me over the past couple of weeks, but I can say that I know where I'm supposed to be and where I need to go. I haven't known either of those two things for the past few years.

I have a purpose. I have a direction. Most importantly, I know in my heart now that I have a Compass.

Coming to Master's Commission was a dream come true. Staying has been a nightmare. My heart has never felt pain like the pain I've come to know here. For most of my time here, I couldn't understand why things hurt so much. I couldn't understand why I could be in a crowded room and feel hopelessly alone. I couldn't find purpose in pain.

Now, I've found it.

Pastor Joshua Sullivan spoke this to me Sunday morning in Illinois:
       "God is stretching you. Stretching hurts. But let Him stretch you. Let Him stretch you as far as He can. When He's done, He's gonna put everything back the way He wants it. You have potential."

If God is for me, then no one can be against me. No obstacle can overtake me. No circumstance can overcome me.

Master's Commission has been the winepress God has used to take out of me all the junk that stood between me and Him. In a distance between us of 1,000 steps, He's run 999 of them. All He's asked of me is to take one step, surrender. Surrender my hopes, dreams, victories, fears, anxieties, and failures. In return, He's given me higher hopes, bigger dreams, and better victories. He's thrown away all of my fears, anxieties, and failures to make room for greater things that I could never imagine. The song said it right, "He trades beauty for ashes, strength for fear, gladness for mourning, and peace for despair."

God has been so faithful to me. There truly is no sweeter name than the name of Jesus.

Bless His name, I know that He's blessed me.

I hope He blesses you, too.

God...hmmhmm... bless,
A Man Changed by God's Grace.

Three words: God is awesome.

Two words: I'm bored.

Five words: I have a MySpace now!

Well, at least, I have a new one and have figured out how to manage it.

The url: myspace.com/send_the_fire.

Come see it so that I can figure out how to build a subscription list.

Illinois is upon us, and I can't wait to see what God is gonna do. He is so amazing. Things here are a blur right now, but I'm looking forward to the upcoming trips, convention, camp, and of course, graduation.

I gotta go now, but I'll update more a.s.a.p.

God bless,
Seth
