Back to School

2009-09-16T18:37:00.000-07:00

Alot has changed over the past summer leading in to the school year. It's really cool to see Jesus not only working in my life but all the areas that surround it, my family, church, friends, WKU campus and most importantly my best friend.

Anyways this is just a quick update because I have not blogged in a long time, to let you know that everything is Working together for my good! and its because of my relationship with Jesus!

Be encouraged people.. there is nothing that he cannot do.

More to come I promise!

Love

Let my Culture Be Jesus

2009-08-18T13:48:00.000-07:00

I am getting ready for my last year of college. God has done such an amazing job with me this summer preparing me to be the man of God he has called me to be. My heart's desire is that people would see the Jesus in Me.

I can not wait to be bold about my Savior this year in Kentucky. Someone told me today that I have to be sooo obsessed with Jesus and obsessed with my vision. Im obsessed with the fact that i want to be like Jesus. I want to have a heart like his. I want to love how he loved. I want to preach like he preached. Fearless. I want to heal how he healed. I want to be so radical for Jesus this year at school that it literally consumes my every thought.

How can I do this? Well... Two things.

1)Burning in Love with Jesus. The fire that Moses and Aaron had.

2) Take the incense with me where ever I go. What is that incense? PRAYER

My prayer life will be the incense that keeps the fire going.

Jesus be my culture so that one day this nation will be a Jesus Culture!

GOD is ruler over my life. I am so amazed by Jesus and his awsome presence. God continue to poor your holy spirit over my life.

This weekend was truly AMAZING. I cannot begin to tell you the things that went on. Everything just seemed to fall into place. All honor and glory to Jesus Christ.

Sometimes we dont understand why we are put through things and why things turn out the way they do but I dont think its always meant for us to understand. Our God is faithful and will do according to his will. It is our job for us to submit to his plan.

Because I only got one life to live and obeying God is how i am going to Live it!

1L2L 2009 POEM

Beating to the sound of triumph my heart beats boldly before a blessing

Bracing backwards before confessing

That this life has a call.

Like hawks hovering humonges hopeless hills searching for prey

This heart hopes healing Hayward never letting souls go astray every day.

So I ask you this day what is your call

You come from a family, a city, relationship and are equip to flip that setting upside down. For it is said you were knit in your mothers womb, He the most high created your innermost being Psalm 139:13

You are existing because

He designed you, and put you in a place for a reason.

This is your season to unleash the leadership to break through walls, make them crumble helping those around you move forward without the stumble.

Like lions we lead the pack. Letting leadership let loose like whip cracks

So like jim crow laws, lets take back the name of Jesus and shout it from the mountain tops

Like the famers go to your city’s plant the seeds and mound the crops

Plant the seeds on the good soil for he who does is the man who hears the word and understands He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."

It is your very own choice to live the life you live

OPEN MIC AT BAR AND GRILL

I went to an open mic at Lil' Redz last WED. It was tight. I really felt Gods presence move while I was on stage. John (my roomate) and I took second place! Thank you Jesus!

a 7th place in the country is a Place above the rest!

7th in The Country

2009-04-22T18:52:00.000-07:00

This past weekend was such a great experience. I really performed my heart out and if paid off! After 5 long days of competition around 8:47pm Monday night, Larry Schnor president of the National Forensics Association announced in 7th place Jeffrey Boggess. I give all honor and glory to Jesus Christ because without him I would not be able to do it!

As a team WKU, is now for the 4th year in a row National Champions. Sweeping the national tournaments feels good. I am so blessed to be on such a prestigious team.

Walking down from the top of the HILL, my eyes fluttered left to right, realizing that I am truly blessed to be where I am at, at this specific moment. Now physically its cool too but spiritually, I cant begin to describe to you how awesome my relationship is with the man upstairs. (coolest photo I have taken with my new camera)

This one is for you BBO

I cannot tell you what a best friend means to me. Waking up at 8 a.m. on the usual is like trying to get me to speak fluent spanish, I JUST CANT DO IT. However, I've got a best friend that not only can wake me up when the birds are chirppin', but can also order my food when we go to Mexican restaurants. Now you may be thinking "Well I got a friend who can do that too"! Well how about a friend who takes time out of their day to make me my favorite spaghetti, THEN ship it overnight, just so I can have the perfect Valentines present, IN kentucky. Still not impressed? Alright, my best friend is so best friend that she can draw DISNEY characters. Nowwww..... if your not impressed by that, then call me "Ray" because I just don't see it. Well, what really matters not matter what anybody thinks is that I am impressed by you Beatriz Villalobos. I just want to say thank you for not only being my love but being a friend to count on for luxury laughs and successful support in whatever I do. And for everybody else out there she is the best girl a guy could have because she loves Jesus! Man BBO your Tight! and from no-mans land out here in KY I miss you.

Spring is here, into action

2009-03-23T16:10:00.000-07:00

The last two weeks have been a transition. No not a personal transition but a beautiful nature transition. Like if the last two weeks were to represented by a flower, today was its bloom.

I get up brush the fangs, put on the clothes and start walking to another day of lecutres that are likely to be redundant. However, instead of this day being the "same ol' same ol'" BAM! Spring time slaps me in my face. I immedaitaley walked right back in the dorm... throw on a spring hat, shades and white t with shorts to celebrate such a non-traditional holiday. Because for me when spring peaks its 70 degree weather face at me, its time to celebrate.

Being Spring time, a thought came to my mind. I went back for this one, third grade in-fact. Do you remember when all your teachers or parents or authority use to say, "Spring is here now its time to spring into action!" WELP to be quite honest i use to hate when they would say it, not because i wasnt ready for action but simply it was so cliche'. However not matter how typical this phrase may be this time of year, Im going to listen to it. I am tired of having the same routine everyday over and over again. Its usually eat, school and sleep. NAW FORGET THAT! There is so much more for me to grab out there, so am gonna "Spring into action" and grab it. Its time to evolve and expand my skills, and the only way to do that is to practice them.

Hey its spring time, GRASP IT!

WKU ....UPSET

2009-03-20T14:02:00.000-07:00

Last night was crazy. My school had the lead most of the game with a 17 pt lead being the highest. In the final three minutes ILL came with in three. Horrible

officiating made the game close at the end. People yelling

"THAT WAS A HORRIBLE CALL!!!" was what filled the air at Derek's apartment. But when it was all said and done...Wku pulled through. Lets go TOPS!

I am constantly impressed with the ability to express yourself. Everyone and everybody has an opportunity at some point to show their true colors. I believe that this is a generation of expression and influence. A lot of people are tired of the usual and norm, and are shifting into an era of showing how they are different.

Welp, I think this is great. My opportunity to not only show my true colors but shed light on who I am has been long over due. So here is me.

I am blessed to live a life and walk with my Savior Jesus Christ. He has done so much for me and my life and expressed his unfailing love for me, that in this time of expression, I will express to the fullest how he has saved my life!

What will you express?
