its been a while

Well I got my new shipment in and I already can see the potential my skate shop has now. No sooner did I get the shipment in yesterday I sold a set of Element Bearings, The kid looked at my Generic bearings and bought the more expensive bearings that just came in. I also noticed that now I got the more expensive Boards in I can see people buying my shop boards instead because they are so much cheaper then the name brand boards. So Praise God this might just be the turning point to an early lead in the shop.

awsesome news

Well I got it,I got the vendor I needed to make this skate shop a true skate shop. I thank God for this, without him being a part of this shop I don't  think I would have gotten this far. By prayer and waiting on Him to make things happen He has once again delivered.
   I still require prayer for my leg and the deal with getting a wound specialist set up to check on  the leg to see what happened and hopefully fix it for me so I can operate without any kind of pain or discomfort. Thank you all who are following me on the blog and are praying for me and my business.

update

Well I'm at the shop again and I have no sales to speak of yet. I am waiting to hear back for a vendor that can sell me all the name brand boards and accessories that everyone wants, pray they except me as a buyer and also continue to asking for prayer on my leg. I am suppose to see a wound specialist when its arranged to see them (still don't know when) but when I see the specialist I ask that my leg will be clear of infections and anything harm full to my leg and that I still will have a leg because I don't know the whats wrong with it, I don't think it will be as bad as I make it sound as the wound on my thigh is healing rather well, I'm more concerned about the wound that is not healing behind the knee....So please,please keep me I prayer and lets show these doctors that there is a real physician at work and his name is Jesus and he is the one who is watching over me and my leg,I know He is my protector and He is not going to let anything happen to His childern....Amen

better late then never

Wow its been some time since I have been on here. I have had some troubles that I have had to deal with such as getting insurance for my shop. Thank God I found an insurance company that will cover my shop. I also still need prayer for this issue with the leg,I have seen allot of improvements with it but like anyone else that is dealing with issues would like them to end like TODAY!! but that's being rational, but I do ask for a speedy healing as I'm getting tired of dealing with this issue, but all in due time,my body only works so fast so anyway this is what I have going on as far as a personal need.
 I do have news, not sure if I want to say its good news until I hear back,but I found a Vendor in North Carolina that will sell to me and small businesses like me around the states, so I can only hope in being excepted in there book of  an applicant to buy from them. If I get this vendor as one of my go to people, they have like everything that a skate shop should ever need to expand its inventory, only thing that stands in my way is of course money. Pray that my financial situation will soon improve and that I will get people in my shop to buy what I already have.
                                                                             Thank you =D

another day at the shop ;)

today has been a good day , no sales but that's fine because my mom and I had lots of things to do around the shop to still make it look like I was open for business and not half fast on opening. I know that in time business will pick up but I also know that it is all in the Lords timing. I can say this, even though I have not made a sale yet I am getting comfortable here and getting use to going to work and not siting around at home all day. I guess when you sit at home all day you learn how that feeling of being all by yourself is. So I guess I was just preparing my self to being all by myself here at the shop just me and the Lord so actually I know I'm not totally alone here but you know what I saying. This is not the ideal thing for a business to not make any sales but you know it's all part of being patient and to never give up!!

cool

Today I'm writing a blog at my shop. This is my first day to open my doors and so far its been no customers yet, but with further a-due I believe I will get customers soon,may not be today but eventually people will hear of me an know about my shop to were I get a massive amount of customers. I have given this shop to the Lord and I know He will bless me and my store and I also believe He will provide for me too.
 Last night I slept on the couch because I was not getting comfortable in my own bead, I also had lots of things on my mind with the opening of the store, I don't think I had a better night sleep then last night,It was the Lord giving me a much needed amount of sleep so I can be more refreshed and more prepared for even a slow day. I still am asking for healing of my right leg as to now I'm still dealing with abscess that are draining constantly but not really showing a sign of when draining will come to an end and the healing process takes place, so I ask for prayer for that, also I am now no longer in the comforts of home to dealing with this that I may still find time to change bandages and such as well as keep the wounds clean here while at the shop........ I just want to say thank you sooooo much for the prayer and support I'm getting already, I do see Improvement In my leg but wish things would speed up and heal already so I can move on in life to focus on things like this shop and other things and not be so focused on myself.

prise report

After asking for loads and loads of prayer I for my leg I have seen major improvement in how its healing, It crazy to, to see how its all forming out its as if a doctor came to me in the night while I was sleeping and did his work,simply amazing...I do still want to continue to ask for prayer and to ask for prayer with a continued walk with the Lord and for my business to thrive as well as something I cant say openly I need prayer for but I will let the holly spirit lead you to that and He will tell you what I cant tell you I need prayer for ;). Thank you to all for reading and acting out on faith.

contratcs

I have made a realization today while I'm walking around in pain getting some hot water for tea, that when I  bought that street bike back in 2007 I realized that I not only made a choice to pay to the bank that of what I owe (thank God I don't anyone) but I now also see when I signed that contract I made a choice on how to dictate my life. I know that anyone reading this is having a hard time following this but hold on!! this will twist your mind !!...... That day that I signed the contract to take it under myself and with the banks knowledge that I will be paying back the loan, well I also noticed that I was making that same choice with how my life would end up, remember all the people telling me" I should stay away from that bike and don't buy a street bike you'll kill your self", well I did what most people do when they "are there own man,we know whats best for us" attitude and I signed that contract to not pay a financial debt but to pay to pay another debt that I was near close to paying off,thankfully that person (Jesus) was not asking us to pay back what He did for us.
  To make this short and sweet, I made a choice and the original plan was to pay the bank its loan back not to pay the price for making a foolish mistake to buying a street bike; because I made this choice I now live a life of pain from the accident I could have avoided had I listened to those around me,also would have been debt free too, but like a fool this is where I ended up. I thank God every day that I did not have to pay off that second debt,the debt of death, He gave me a second chance, and I may not be in tip top shape, but I still got all my body parts and God has a message to say to me from that. He is not going to let his children wonder off, just like the shepherd has to take care of its flock so does Jesus and He got me before I got to far away, and He did it,He used the accident to get me back on track and  I now have a physical problems (not to blame on God,that was my choice with the purchase of the street bike) He has given me a spirit that was broken and He made that new. So God does not do things to hurt us to get our attention, that's simply our reasons for the injury. No God will use the injury to turn thing's around for the best. So never blame God for accidents and being disabled, those are our choices God just makes something bad and makes it good.

life has its request's

We all have request in our daily life's, weather we are Christians and ask to pray over those request, or if we are of any other religious believe, we all have needs and wants. I have a need for prayer over my leg, as I had mentioned in my other post about my injuries I sustained, my leg is still not right and I ask for prayer to pray over my right leg as it is in need of healing.
 Its not easy asking for prayer sometimes, we may feel embarrassed at what it is we need prayer for or we are pride full that we think by asking for prayer we have a feeling of weakness or we are not suppose to share thing's because its too personal or confidential. We all struggle with this and we all want or need what ever it is and yet we don't receive what ever that is because we don't ask for help!! After being prayed for with other thing's in my life I now have no problem asking those around me to pray for me, now I'm asking to complete strangers on a blog, this is faith in the Lord that He work's through the power of prayer,I know I have seen it first hand. So why hesitate to ask, if there is anyone out there reading this post and having trouble with this, I encourage you to step out in faith and talk to someone you know and feel comfortable with and tell them what you need prayer for, it will not only help take the weight off your shoulders but you will know that there is now a small army of people praying for you and your needs, its an awesome feeling to know that you have a much brighter chance of the need becoming a reality for you. God works in many strange ways and in some ways He want to give you what you want but He wants you to step out in faith and ask others to pray for what you need too, God will never let us go without so understand this "if you ask it shall be giving to you" James 1:5 ( I cut the verse short and sweet, I'll leave it up to the reader to pick up the bible to read the whole passage).
  In ending, I need prayer for my healing of my right leg, and there are many, many thing's to come. Life has its good days and bad days and God must be praised for both.

buisness is getting started

Just last year I go my business license and I had to decide what it was that I wanted to do with the business that I had just got a license for. I decided since I called my business Atoms General, I had to figure what is it that Atoms General sells, I prayed about it because thinking about it made me go insane so I ask the Lord, and I got an answer He said think extreme,I though that was pretty vague thank extreme, I though about it all night long when God gave me this answer,I then knew what he meant. God meant thank as in extreme sports, after all my name is Atoms General,and when I think of Atom I see atom bomb,like explosive stuff, so I came up with the perfect answer to extreme, Skate board shop. Skate boarding was not a huge part of my life growing up but I did it and I did pretty well at it when I was really in it.
 I had just inherited a building for me to operate this business by my grandfather (sweet!!) and now I have a chance to make it happen. When I first started this business I went to do it internet only,did not work so I pretty much gave up on the whole idea,but the Lord did not want me to give up,because next thing I know my grandfather called me up and moved this other business off one of his rental properties and asked me if I wanted to run my skate shop there,I could not say no. Still not quite open yet but after I get my insurance and Phone up and running I to will be up and running. The moral of the story here is that God is interested in seeing each of us succeed and he dose not want us to give up,God will never give up on us so why should we give up on him to give us a way to make things like my business come to a reality rather then just a dream,something that I started,fail online, NEXT!!. No never should we do that we need to take our failures and see what caused us to fail, I know why I failed with this, is I asked God for help with some of the starting out of the business but not to give God the business I wanted to be the solo guy running the shop, now that I see what was the issues I now prayed and told the Lord this business is his and he is in control, things are not open yet but that's all in His timing. 

now detalis on accident from previous post

I mentioned I was involved in an accident on a motorcycle,it was a near tragic accident. My injuries I incurred was, the worst was  my right leg was broken in three places and it broke in such a way that it serverd all three main arteries(so I was loosing blood at a rapid rate)next I got had a collapsed lung, head contusion, and road rash in many areas. I did not mention that this was a HEAD ON!! with a big Ford F-250 truck, might as well been a brick wall. If any would imagine this was an accident that I should have not survived, but God had a plan for me and He allowed me to live.
  My doctors are just as amazed as friends and family too that not only did I survive but I have a right leg still , and my head contusion did not retard me in any way. I did however lose almost all of my mobility from this accident, the only thing I can do with the leg is walk,and by walking I mean I have to wear a foot brace because of the huge impact to the right leg I also destroyed my nerve ending's to my foot/ankle so I have to wear a brace for the rest of my life ( unless the Lord heals me). It took me an entire year and then some with recovery of this accident, I had to have 3 different fixators (metal braces' bolted to the out side of the leg) because my leg was in such bad shape it was not as easy as set the bone and put on a cast, they actually had to twist and turn and extend my leg (leg shortend by 2cm).
  After my year long recovery I did have to do extensive PT and once that was done I was walking pretty good. I don't blame God for what happend to me I only can blame myself for being an arrogant fool and no listing to everyone around me to not get the stupid street bike because the know I'm accident prone and I was going to happen, but I got one anyway, and I can honestly say I was a fool for not listing to the people around me. God however used my mistakes to change my life for ever due to this accident, I am now a follower of Christ and I never want to go back to what I was doing before this happend. I am 100% convinced God gave me this accident to use as a testimony to use to tell others about Jesus and how much of a life changing experiance to me this was and how my walk with the LORD is so much more better the ever before. I know others would be angry at God for things like this, but as we read in James 1:2-4 Dear brothers and sister, whenever trouble comes your way, let be an opportunity for joy.(3)For when  your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.(4)So let it grow,for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything. I rest my case I have been tested by satin during this whole time but the Lord reminds me He gave me Life once again, a new start and I will do my best to please Him.  

my story

Today I'm going to give you my story of what I have been trough and what I have been able to over come. Lets start back to when I was in High school ,I was a simple kid just trying to find the "cool" people to hang out with because we all are under the impression at that age the if you went cool you were considered a big fat loser. Finding those friends often means trouble,I found me a dozy, the kids I stared to hang out with introduced me to many ungodly things( I want to remind you that I was a believer back then,just a very weak one) these kids introduced me to smoking,porn,raves,and some of the common drugs like marijuana and mushrooms. If you want to be part of the "cool" people you need to do what they did(mind you this what is called pure pressure) and if you did not want to do what they did you may as well been in the "loser" camp because not only are you now a wuss but your also going to be picked on for the entire school year and possibly make enemies down the road too, so me being stupid I followed with the program of the "cool" kids and did those things that tore me away from God and my Parents and family.
  Fast Forward to my adult life, I graduated High School ( don't know how I did too) and I did have a small turn around in my life I did come back to God and I was able to drop allot of my friends from school, I was not involved in drugs anymore because those were the friends I kicked out of my life, all though I still was addicted to smoking to were it should have been the alternative to any drug, that's how addicted I was to smoking. I got a few jobs as I got older,mainly worked at Forest Home and left and hot another job,left them and then I was back with Forest Home, this pattern went on about 4 times all the way up until present day. In 2008 I was at Forest Home and I was still highly addicted to smoking, so when ever I got a break I would have to leave campus (they did not allow smoking on campus) to go have one of my beloved smoke, well I had a street bike at the time and I had to go the other direction to have my Cig due to the terrain in the area I had to go down the street and I ended up getting in a near deadly motorcycle accident. I did however survive,I could have lost a leg,the doctors saved it and I was close to being dead due to the injury to the leg. Since my recovery I have been redeemed and have seen what the Lord was doing in my life,I may be disabled from this accident but my life has been taken out of the disability of the smoking habit,witch was taking me down the road of death anyway,just don't know were I would spend enternity,but since this life changing accident I know God has a plan for me,and I know were I will spend enetrnity at.

little do i know,much have i learned

I am posting for the fist time,I may be new to "blogging",but I will post the thing's I have Leaned and things that I thought I knew but have learned so much of what I have missed,and things that I have been needing to know and that knowledge has been set before me today in prayer. The Holly Spirit is real and he does speak to us in many was that even I am trying to understand,but today after being prayed for I have learned that I have missed the mark all along that I can be half way in with the Lord,and I am trying to comprehend this as we all try to comprehend God. The simple truth is we live day to day with the knowledge that the day is in our hands and we have control of what we do in our life's,this is simply not true to the believer in Christ. I have been a believer I Christ but I am taking the rout that most Christians do,be part of a religion rather being part of the system that binds us to the true nature of God and how to really really live for him.
  Today in church (Sanctuary Church) Pastor Rod was speaking of this today in his message of what I was talking about in the first paragraph, Pastor Rod states: "we are like fish that see the bait on the hook,but we don't see the hook",in other words there are people out there that teach the "Word" but are also false whiteness,once they got you hooked you have a hard time finding out what Living for God is rather then putting up a Show you Know God. I pray that I have not been on the religion path,but writing this from my hart I must be,Holly Spirit is convicted me and now I must repent and do what the Lord wants me to do and do it,whatever that may be,for all I know I'm doing it right now: My uncle and Aunt prayed for me and had his testimony about Blogging and how it has transformend the there life's, he told me long before My aunt had cancer (praise God its gone!!) the holly spirit told him to start a blog and this was months before she was diagnosed and all the time while blogging he was asking for prayer for his wife (my aunt) and when she was diagnosed she go dozens of emails from people they diden't even know,and by him obeying the Holly Spirit my aunt has a clean bill or health....PRAISE JESUS!!. Buy listing to his advise I know have started a blog site.
 In ending this long first time blog from me,I also ask for healing not only on my soul and to be renewed in the Spirit but also healing to my body...... I will share my testimony as i continue to blog in future post.
