What I Want for Christmas…

…is for someone to sponsor this Compassion child. arminda

Her name is Arminda Choque. She lives in Bolivia, was born Dec. 11th, 1997, and has 6 brothers and sisters. Arminda faces a harsh, daily struggle for survival. Just like many other kids, she goes for days with little or no food. She has limited access to safe drinking water and lives in much fear and danger.

And my heart breaks for her. We sponsor a Compassion child and it has changed our lives. The letters you get from your child put things into perspective and the letter you write to them change your heart.

I wish I could personally sponsor every single Compassion kid, but I can’t; so instead, I’ll do what I can to get her sponsored.

So what I want for Christmas this year is a sponsor to pray for, encourage, love and support Arminda. Go for it! It will change your life!

Don’t wait. The number to call Compassion is 1-800-336-7676 and Arminda’s Compassion number is B05330514. If you call and she’s already been sponsored that ROCKS. Just ask for another child and Compassion will get you hooked up.

Or, you can get in touch with me and I will personally answer any questions and help you sponsor a child. My personal email is zak@revyourlife.com.

Monday Mind Dump

To make up for missing Sunday’s Mind Dump…

  • Amber and I went to Lubbock for our 10 year high school reunion this weekend.
  • Had a blast seeing some people. :) Its hilarious to me how certain people still acted JUST LIKE they are still in high school. Sad. Makes me wish I was a pastor in Lubbock to call out their potential.
  • The MOST SAD thing was…well…i’ll save it for a blog post.
  • On Saturday night at about 10pm we left Lubbock to drive 7 hours back to Schertz so that we’d be here for our Launch Team Meeting. Everyone kept asking me why we’d do that. Its sort of like having a new baby…you don’t just hand the kid to anyone.
  • The trip back home was great considering I drove until 4:30am and our car was about to break down. We made it so I was happy!
  • Stinking Yankees. Need my Angels to SMOTHER them and its not happening.
  • Our next preview service is November 8th. The sermon is called “Relationship Revolution.” I just wrapped up the sermon and it is going to be a BLAST!
  • Really loving our launch team. The people on it are INCREDIBLE.
  • Really PUMPED about this! We are going to have a huge mallet to smash pumpkins with, a gigantic MAZE, free food, a hayride and some special Halloween crafts where you do cool things like make your own cookie. If you are in the area, check it out.

The Fat Trail Runner

Let me start by saying this. If you are going to be offended by one cuss word, don’t click the link below. Also, don’t read the story of Balaam’s Donkey in Numbers chapter 22…ok…on we go…

I’m not going to lie. This blog post by my buddy Rafael (The Fat Trail Runner) got me pumped up and encouraged the heck out of me. Why? Because he pretty much hit the nail on the head. I want to be everything he said…and more for the people that God puts in my life.

Thanks Rafael. I needed that. If you ever see me slowing down, smack me around a little bit.

Saturday Night Shots

Saturdays are always CRAZY. Today was especially INSANE:

  • PUMPED that my in-laws came in early this morning to help us with getting the house ready to sale. We got a TON done.
  • PUMPED about our new message series, One Prayer, that starts tomorrow. Can’t wait to see what God does over the next four weeks at TCC!
  • PUMPED about everything God is already doing to ramp things up for the new church we’ll be launching in Schertz. If you haven’t checked out the site yet, please do. Also, be sure to join our prayer team.
  • NOT PUMPED that I worked so long in the heat today that I actually kind of woke up with my face on the concrete. Guess I got dizzy or something. Must be getting old. I used to frame houses all day long in 110 degree heat in West Texas with no problems…
  • NOT PUMPED that my boy will be going to stay with G-ma and The Boss (My parents) all week…
  • By the Way I’m also PUMPED about that even though I’m NOT PUMPED about it. Is that possible?
  • NOT PUMPED about all the stuff I gotta do at the house…uuuugggghhhhh…
