| Just a quick update...sorry if I have seemed absent..things are very busy right now..but in a good way!
things at church are going well and fast. I am leading worship at church the whole month of May. i am excited! The teens are starting to respond with some action and showing me that they "get" what I am saying and living out in front of them. We have 6 events planned for the next 2 months. The summer is rapidly approaching and I am excited!
I went to my 1st Reds game of the year and def not my last one...
My marathon is in 3 1/2 weeks...26.2 miles...at first I was dreading it but now I am looking forward to spending some alone time in thought and prayer..that is why I love running now!
Work at Pump It Up is going well...we booked the 7th most amount of parties last month out of 130 Pump It Up's around the United States...I am having fun with that too!
The most exciting thing that has happened to me is what God is doing in me spiritually...I am finally joyous and truly happy about where I am and what I am doing...God is doing amazing things in me, to me, and through me. I am excited about what is in store in the future. But even though I am doing well spiritually I must always remember that I need to be aware that temptation is always the strongest when we think we are strongest...My prayer is that the Lord keeps me humble and always relying on Him for strength.
thank you for your continued prayer and comments...they really encourage me... |

we had a great time at U-Grow tonight just playing games...the Sr High won but the Jr High made it respectable with a great performance on the DDR...for you non DDR people...dance dance revolution...great game....so my teens are well...just keep one family in your prayers...their grandmother just died today...no class in college on earth can totally prepare you for that...but God is faithful and he gave me the words to say and not to say...when to talk and when to listen...
This summer I will officially be Rev Dustin Orner...i think..i just got appproved for my district license...that is weird but definitely a good weird...

| things are going well for me right now...i am finding encouragement in a daily surrender...dont get me wrong, there are days when life is hard and i dont feel good or excited, but the underlying fact is my firm committment to something greater than me or anyone around me..sometimes we judge our faith and salvation on the way we feel or how much we do...those are great things but it is important to remember that feeling or works does not define who we are...WE ARE GODS CHILDREN...based soley upon our daily committment...we cant disregard emotions or works but we cannot continue to run our lives on feeling God or doing things..
hope you find encouragment in some of this....because I certainly have
warm weather is approaching..i cant wait for the summer!!! |

| I cannot sleep...I need your intervention LORD...Grant me the peace that passes all understanding..My heart is not at rest till it finds rest in You.... |

| The only thing I can say is God is so Amazing. I asked Him to work a miracle in my heart and He has.
Why am i so Amazed! He does this time and time again.
Maybe my faith is weak, or maybe God just loves to Amaze us!
either way, I praise Him! |
