If you really want to know me right now, just read:
I am not going to Spain now. So if you didn’t know this
already…than surprise, why you ask? Well, honestly I am learning a lot about my
Words and Commitment to everyone around and God. I said some stuff to soon and
I take full responsibility over it I really desire to be in the states for a
while pouring my life into young boys around who need some spiritual guidance
in life and really, the knowledge that they are valued and loved no matter
what (which I have done for 2 weeks now, it has been awesome)… If you want more details- email me at [email protected] and I can share
more!
Lets see….. I really like listening to a variety of music
and experiencing anything new! So, if you have anything new or music I should
listen to…tell me all about it.
Mom is doing great. Surgery went well, she is crazy as all I
get out but one thing with mom is this- she is a very rare gem. Honestly, her
joy and love for me and everyone else is so cool, that’s why I love her so
much. Oh, and she has a new job as the “Activity Director”- go figure! Dad is rockin’ it out at Mobil Oil and doing so well, this man is so wise
and it makes me proud to have a father who just never gives up in life, I just
wish he would give himself some more credit than he does…oh the humble man! I
love how the Lord and my dad are tight!
BIG News. My brother and sister-in-law are going to be MOM
AND DAD! Whoo hoo–which means, Robby is going to be an uncle- stoked? Clearly!
So, little Riggs will be coming in April and is already spoiled beyond means….
My N squad/my family: I love them- it is clear that they are
family now which only through the Holy Spirit is that going to happen on 11
months with the SAME people, but I really hope they see beyond that now,
rejoice in it, but know that God is really desiring more of them these last few
weeks…it can literally be some of the best months to grow and die to self once
more on the field!
Trevor is doing great! He is back in Florida with his
family, no more malaria, way 2 go GOD!
Oh yeah, the job issue: Dude, it has been interesting coming back off
the field since May. Realizing that I would be leaving a few more times for a period
of weeks each time before I was done in November with the squad kinda leaves me in a position of :hard to get a job: …so, come
December and if you are around the Beaumont area and have a job available…. call
me! (Really) *Maybe God just brought you to this blog for this reason… and I’m
down with that!
Dear Fall: Thank you for showing up for my Birthday…
Yup, Monday I turn the big 2-7 —-1.) I feel like I am 11
in my heart and my body at least as a 15 year old…(don’t be jealous)… it seems
like yesterday I was running outside with my dogs and buddies in our back yard and
just being a ‘boy.’ I have so many great memories of my childhood but one that
sticks out is always when it would rain! Donny, myself, and friends around
would go swimming in the ditches to catch crawfish…. how awesome is that? I
loved it though- as I sit and think about it…I was being a boy, I was doing
what I was created to do- adventure.
Coolest birthday: My pirate/treasure-hunting birthday that
dad set up for all the kids…It rocked!
The boy talk leads me to this…
I know that the last few years of my life have been some
crazy shit (hopefully you don’t get all offended when I say that word…its real,
God has cleaned some dark places out of me and opened my eyes up to it to be
done with). From all of this…I have craved the intimacy of God more and more.
The biggest kick I have gone on is being a ‘man and warrior’ of God. Yeah,
those words are thrown around out in the ‘Christian’ world, but honestly- I desire
that at my core. MAN and WARRIOR. I want to be
adventuress like crazy in everything I do, experience God in the thrills and even restful times of life…to know (key
word) His heart, to see (again) with His eyes, to hear (yup, again) with His ears… I do realize that I am a carnal man who struggles daily
with sin but that I am Son of God – which makes all the difference in this world! But
seriously- I just am addicted to God and when I don’t spend time with him
alone…I am pissed, insecure, all the stupid stuff that satan lies to you about…basically what the world seems to describe our
lives more and more. So- usually being pissed is a sign of
lack-of-intimacy-which clearly, you should call me out on! Deal? Thanks…
Alright, well that is my random stuff for this time around,
so much more that goes on in this mind I do believe, but knowing that I
am normal and secure in Christ as my Father, my buddy, and my closest friend is me essentially… if you are insecure as a believer- than we should probably have a beer and chat… I would love to
share true life to you!
PS: I am soon going to start my own blog site soon, so if you’re interested…
be waiting for the grand opening soon!
Oh and mom came up with this title (Season of Change)- she is classy (Fall is here now and life is changing).
Best Regards,
Robby Ellery
