God is amazing

Why do people feel the need to act the way they do? I think it's very funny that people can act a certain way or do certain things around people to make themselves look good.. Shall I elaborate?? Sure! People who sit back and judge and gossip are crazy to me.. I mean seriously, Get a life. I have been through many things this past month that are pretty much life changing. I have learned that GOD is way BIGGER than me! I thought i was a good christian, but wow he has really been speaking to me. Alicia and I have been visiting a bible study.. Actually its two bible studies and a church service in a day.. AMAZING, i have never been challenged to be this disciplined in my life. I read that playing the guitar requires a person to practice and be disciplined will cause them to be a very skilled and awesome player... well this actually needs to be in the same since of God. God does not want you to be lukewarm, he wants you to be on fire for him. and to be that way you need to be disciplined. That hit home to me and alicia. God has been working in our lives like crazy and honestly im so thankful.. I needed it and i know that i couldnt do it alone. It makes me sit back and realize that she was put into my life for a reason.. and i know that i couldnt make it at all without her. I have learned so much from her and shes truly a blessing. And to go back to my first lines on the blog.... Why do people act the way they do? Heck, i know, because God isn't first in their life.... how do i know this, well because i WAS there... ARE YOU THERE NOW?

Mission Accomplished

Tonight, i got the opportunity to sit back and say mission accomplished.. On thursdays, my beautiful wife baby sits a couple extra hours, so that gives me the night to cook. Now, i must say she is an outstanding cook; when we first started dating she was cooking some sandwiches "not much cooking involved" and some frozen pizzas. They were GREAT, however Alicia wanted to dive deep into the cooking world. Well she did. She tries out new things all the time and they ROCK! ok, now im getting ahead of myself, i just had to brag on my wife. Anyways, So Thursdays are my night to cook. When i got off of work, I went by food giant and grabbed some porkchops, and they were thick. I did my special JE flavor and maranaded them with a few herbs and spices. and alas the grill was ready. Well i plopped them bad boys on there and started my grillin. Now i must say this was my first time grilling the pork chops, so i was super careful and wanted to make sure i didnt over cook. AHHH Im not one to ever brag or say im the man, BUT tonight i was the man! I grilled them baby's and they were thick and juicy and tasted like heaven on earth... well thats stretching it. ha, yeah i thought tonight was a mission accomplished! the pork chops were a hit, and most of all, Alicia loved them. which boosted my confidence and is making me look forward to next thursday!
Next subject, this week is going great, the work load is picking up which is great. I have to work sunday night, BUT its driving the new cars back from the car show. heck i would do it for free, but they will pay us overtime to do it... hmm do i look like an idiot?? i think not, sign me up! anyways, getting in the bed, sleep is needed. later days! J-dubb out!

oh how i neglect this thing...

Well the title pretty much explains it.. I think it's because I have been overwhelmed with many new things.. hmm let me see what my blog readers have missed since last time i wrote on this thing.. hmmm..... I GOT MARRIED! yup, the seven months flew by.. and how happy am i?? extremely! It has been great. The wedding was amazing, everything went like something you would see on t.v. and as for Alicia, wow absolutely amazing. I couldnt have imagined ever being that happy and seeing someone look so beautiful on my wedding day. Wow again, im a wicked lucky guy. I wish that there was some way that i could put it into words. I was once told by an amazing person, aka my best buddy bradley webb; that once I see my future wife comming down the isle I would see her differently than i ever have. Oh my how those words stuck out, because when i saw here, it was like nothing else mattered and the whole entire world stood still. Wow, that was deep! ha, lets just say i have an amazing wife and she is pretty much the best! anyways, more updates.. Well we are currently living on the outer-end of trussville, and we love it. Alicic is about 10 mins from work and im about 20 mins or so; even though taking the interstate, i can make it home in 14 mins :-). Still working the same job and its fun, however i know the cold weather is among us and im about to be out in it for 8 hours a day..... joy! another update... my brother and Dela are about to have their first child. what a blessing little travis is going to be to the family. Im absolutely pumped and cannot wait. A new edition to the webb family yay. I have my phone on stand by waiting to go see the new baby!! any day now! I love them and we have become so close over this past year. Im so thankful for that! As i close i just want to say that God is sooo big, soooo much bigger than me! He is amazing and has always taken care of me. My everyday prayer would have to be trust in him. Im the biggest believer in trusting in God, because I have been let down a lot this year and God and my awesome wife has been the reason i am who i am. Everyday i get constant reminders of how big God is and how he will always take care of me. I cannot express how amazing God's love is and how evident it is here on earth as well as in me. So another story on another day, J-dubb OUT!!

I love my life

Starting this off, i just want to say that i love my life. Im so blessed. God has really put me in the place that i need to be. That was my prayer for so long and BAM he did it. Im happier than a slop hog in mud! nice metaphor huh? i thought so. Well, I made the biggest decision of my life last week. I asked Alicia to marry me!! Im super excited about it. I knew that this is what i wanted and needed, so i prayed hard and saved hard and bought it! Her birthday was this past weekend and i told her it was an early birthday dinner. Well, she didn't know the big surprise was hidden on the cake. I wrote her a happy birthday song that i played to the guitar and sang it.... turns out, i was nervous as heck and forgot all the words, so it ended up being a funny song. haha you know me! back to the cake,,, It said "will you marry me" on it. So happy birthday Alicia! It went well, and im so happy that it did. I have Dela to thank, as well as my family and friends. This was a special night and im so happy that it turned out as well as it did. Thank you God for all everything. Talking to the parents was the hardest thing that i ever had to do... wow.. haha. talk about nervous. yeah that was me. So, now its off to looking at houses, planning, budgeting and getting everything ready. I didnt know that it took so much planning. But, hey im siked about it! I heard from a wise person once, that once you found that person that makes you truly happy and supports you in everything and knows you better than anyone to put a ring on it. Thats a keeper! So i did! I have been planning this for a while. had to keep it hush hush though. this was the best thing that i have ever done! i love her!
The truck is sold and i bought a lexus IS300 and i love it. It was a cheaper car than the tank truck that i had. better on gas and a lot more easier to drive. I know its a luxury car blah blah but what a deal i got. More updates to come because we have a lot of planning to do. Im just so happy that in this part of my life, that i have that one person that is my other half. later days

things change

This world is all about change. Everywhere you turn, change change change. For so long i was terrified of change. But hey, change isn't such a bad thing. My life as i know it, is unfolding a page that is full of excitement and joy. I sold the truck, yay. this means that im on a hunt for a car that is good on gas AND cheaper. I think that i have found a few but i want to make the right choice. the gf, school work and home is a lot of driving. so i believe thats the smart thing to do, sell the truck. Now, moving on to the camper, wow what a weekend with that thing. I had it sold, then the people drove it off of the lot and got 5 miles down the road and it started to fall apart. It had a small leak that turned into a huge leak that nobody saw. It was inbetween the walls and bam it fell apart. I had to give a full refund and then by the grace of God i suddenly realized that he was in control and would make it all better. As he did! right after that my truck sold, what a relief! So i answered many emails.... well Alicia answered emails and told many people about the damage.. well nobody wanted it at all. Until a guy contacted me and wanted to look at it, so today he saw it and said he would put several thousands into it and bought it. I got basically nothing for it. it was a huge hit that i had to take. but hey, gotta trust God.
God is gracious, and when i say that, i mean it. Things happen. People that you are close to will shock you and make you sad and wonder why? But i have realized that If someone says things or do certain things, it may be because they have something more going on with them. I have many questions that run through my head and the main question would be why. Times like these when i think that the world is over as i know it, i turn to God and pray. and oh the power of prayer. God has taught me so much here in the past couple of weeks. That he is BIGGER than me and he will ALWAYS take care of me. Not to mention that Alicia is such a blessing. I know that i couldnt go through these times in my life without her. Especially when the lady was calling me about the camper threatening to sue me and take all my money, WOW she calmed me down and helped me more than i could ever ask for. I guess my ramble must come to a conclusion. My conclusion would be, IF you ever go through tough times and question the whole world, just pray. seriously God is so much bigger than we are and i have learned that first hand over the past could of weeks. People will let you down, But he is gracious and will always walk beside you. Stay close to him and will be your solid rock! Meanwhile, surround yourself with loving people who support you and know you for you and understand everything. wow did i just type all of that? haha later days

my fingers hurt..

Alas, I have found myself a new hobby. Ever since i was little, i have wanted to play the guitar. And when i say play it, i mean play it well. I have an old guitar that my grandfather made, and ever since it broke, i have not been able to play. Well, for Christmas my parents bought me a wicked awesome guitar that is amazing. It plays like a dream. But, dang it is so hard to pick everything back up and play. Learning all the chords and what goes well. Tonight me and dad sat down and turned on youtube and found some videos that help out a lot. I learned alot on that thing. I learned how my favorite songs go and almost have it nailed. Dad is like me, just learning it all, but i must say he is getting a lot better, as well as me. Im hoping by summer to get everything down to where i can play more than a couple of songs like i do now. Its a fun new hobby and i really enjoy it. THOUGH my fingers are killin me. My fingers are numb just typing, haha.
Work and school are both going good, just livin it day by day.. I have to go in early 2 days a week and that makes the job a whole lot frustrating. When i get there, the cars are all iced over and most of them wont start, not to mention the temp is in the teens. But school isnt so bad, The teacher is pretty nice. she is starting everything out on the easy side, so i hope that does not change. anyways, im going to bed. more stories for another day

Back again????

Oh the dreary days of school have scratched the surface and poked it's ugly head out. Dang, does this mean im broke again? haha alas my $306 is per class is spent to jeff state. School school school,, need i say more. This semester is a rather short one for me. I usually work full-time and take enough classes to keep me super busy. Well im bringing it down a notch or two, and im only taking 1 class. Hopefully this will help me in the end. If i pass, this would be my last math class so, im really really hoping to come out on top. Im not good in math, to be blunt, i suck at it. Thank God I have alicia on my back to help me.... well so she says she will ha. The bummer part is that my class is in Pell City which means, Je has to get up extra early, and drive several miles. Not to mention, my truck isn't the best on gas. I burned over a quarter of a tank yesterday going to pell city, THEN clay. Oh the things i do for love. It is all worth it, just to see Alicia for a couple of hours.
Work is good, BUT dang, its always like 20 below and most of my job consists of being outside. Ive started the new easy part of my job, which means noting that every car has frost. So if something goes wrong, then i have an alibi. I really need to get a smaller source of transportation. My truck sucks gas down and the parking lot at jscc is an obsticle. So, hey i have a great truck for sale !!!! ha, well tomorrow morning comes early sleep is needed. More stories on another day.
