An Update 21.7.11
Published July 21, 2011 | Dear Sisters, Brothers, Friends, and Family;
Thank you for coming back to my website if you don’t already know I have been posting pray request under the supporters tab if you need access to them and or my newsletters let me know via email. I am so blessed to have all of you in my life – a quick money update for ‘Orientation and Training with LAM (A personal found raiser) total 8% of the total 2,500 has come in : However this number is a little off due to PayPal processing fees but, as soon as I am able the number will be at its full 8% or 200.00 USD. As fare as PayPal fees go I’ll be adding them back to the founds as I have the money to do so but, it is possible that the amount of money that has come in at some point will be off by a good 2 or more % and If this happens I’ll let you know if it becomes a need but, it’s my hope that it will not become an issue as PayPal fees are so low it should be easy to add that money back into the founds. If you have any question about PayPal or the fees let me know and I’ll do my best to answer them. If you want to add the fee into your PayPal payment feel free to go over to http://www.gregledet.net/ppfcm.html and enter the amount you would like to send in the top and it will let you know what you need to send in order for me to get that amount ; Do not feel like you have to add to an amount to pay the fees they come out of the transaction I am just giving you the website so you can see what is left after the fees and so if you wish to add the fees in – I don’t want anyone to feel they need to use the tool it’s just there so that you can see what PayPal is getting when you use your credit or debit cards.
LAM update on 3rd of Aug I will be moving on to the next step of the app when I have the founds need to do so at this time I do not wish to take the money I need for the next step out of the funds that have come in because I don’t feel like that would be right for I need to invest my own money too. If you have any question about what money I am investing or have already invested send me an email and I’ll be more than happy to fill you in but I don’t feel like that info belongs here on my public blog but, if I get lots of email I might add a post to the supports area of my website.
Projects I’m working on ; Well I’m now working on a number of projects some which I’m not ready to say much about but, I can say this much. Yes, I am working on a book , Yes I am working on new content for my website , and Yes I am reworking my website. At this time I don’t have any dates for anything that i am working so sorry about that. However, it is my hope that by mid-October I’ll be able to post the concept for my manuscript and by the end of Feb 2012 it’s my goal to have the first 10 or so pages available for limited restricted preview but, like with most things these goals can change as events happen in life that I have yet to expect so keep an eye on this blog for more info. As far as the rest of the project they too are works in progress and when I am ready they will be add to the website.
English teaching at this time I do not have any students and therefore am now spending my time on other things but, this does not mean that I will not teach a class here or there at the request of anyone because, I am more than open to doing just that.
Blessings and peace
Chris

Published April 2, 2010 | Dear Sisters, Brothers, Friends, and Family;
I’m sorry that it’s been so long from the last time that there was a new blog post but, this is not because, I have not wanted to share everything that has been going on yet, not much has been going on so if you were wondering why there has not been anything new posted in about a month that’s why. If you’ve been reading my blog then you know that I have been working on a number of application; one for grad school and the other for a missionary organization. I wish I could say that I have sent it both of them but, they are still here on my desk as it’s taking longer to complete them then I had thought it would when I first got them yet, it is my hope that is week I will be able to get the application for the missionary organization finished and in the mail. I hope all of you have a happy Easter.
Blessings and Peace
Chris
God’s Time
Published February 23, 2010 | God’s time is the Alpha and the Omega; it was, it is, and is to come. God’s time is also full of Love, peace, joy, compassion, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, unlike our time which has a begging and a end , our time is short , our time is limited , our time is not always filled with love, peace , joy , compassion , patience , kindness , goodness , faithfulness , gentleness , and self-control ; our time is not equal to God’s time and it never can be. However, we are each given the gift of time from the LORD who gives each of us the same amount of it. However, although we are each given the same gift of time from the LORD we all don’t use our time the same way and there has been many how have had this gift taken away from them early due to the hate in the world in which we call our “temporary home” (earth). As we thank the LORD for the gifts he has given us we need to also thank him for the things we do not have for if we had everything then there would be no need to be thankful at all as we would have everything and it would be imposable for us to know any different. However, if we don’t have everything and we can’t get everything then we have no idea what it is like to have everything and therefore when we do get something we can be thankful for it. In a resent conversation with a very good friend of mine and a sister in Christ we talked about God’s time and how each of us had been learning a lot about God’s time the past few months or so it’s interesting that although we are living / serving in two different worlds we are still learning together, as we chatted about time it got me thinking about how we use time / misuse time and as the thought ran through my head it became apparent that as people we misuse are time more often then we use it for what it was given to us for and that is to give glory to the LORD. A few years ago back during the summer of 2007 or somewhere around then don’t fully record the date yet, the date rely douse not mater as the words themselves have more value. “Many good Christians spend lees then 5 minutes with God a day and some pastors spend less than a minute with God a day” no idea where this information came from or how much truth is behind it but, if it does have some truth to it and even a little it is very shocking. How can we say that we have a relationship with the LORD if we don’t spend any of our time with him? How can we say that we know the LORD if we spend so little time with him? How can we say we understand his love if we never give him the time to love us?God’s time is funny as it interacts with our time as too often we think that we can read God’s time when the truth is we can’t ; often people say “the time is right , I know because God said so” well in some cases this may be true but, more often then not the time may be right for us but, in God’s time it is not time and therefore it is not “the time is right” as it is not time in the eyes of the LORD. Sometimes it is time for us to find rest and peace in the LORD as he picks us up and holds us in his arms, and other times it is time for us to walk in the hot dry sun as we learn the things the LORD whishes to teach us. It is not always easy to let the LORD carry us but, we most remember that we most let him do so for he is our father and we are his children and as children we most let our farther take care of us when the time is right.
Little things = Big things for the Kingdome of God
It does not matter if you’re a teacher, if you’re a student, a doctor, a hurting teen, or a newborn seeing the world for the first time. Each of us plays a role in one of the biggest shows on of the biggest stages in our universe; the show is called “Life” and the stage is “Earth”. We each play a role no matter how big or small we are and as we grow older our role in the show of “Life” changes and even though we play some roles for longer times then we do others each still is very important as if we where to skip a role and not play are part the show of “Life” would not be what it was meet to be. As young children we are meet to explore and learn , as we get older and as we learn more we can play parts that require more of us and the roles in the show of “Life” get harder and harder as we grow old and as we learn. Over the years it may seem that our interaction and the things that we have learned have little or no value yet, everything in this world has a value it may be big or it may be little but, everything is worth something. Although we may think the things we do and say have little meaning and or value they do in fact have value and therefore no matter how little or big we may thing something we do is it has an impact on those around us it may be big or small but never the less an impact is made. It may be hard to see that our little actions have had any impact at all but, if we can plant a seed then that seed has a changes to change the world but, if we just put the seed on the ground and do nothing with it then we have done more harm than if we had done nothing at all.
Blessings and Peace

Let us remember that Jesus came to server us and not to be served, let us give thanks for the things we do not have and let us give parse to the LORD for today is a new day and everything in it is a gift from the LORD.
Ps. An update from Mexico City along with some bible reflections coming later this week; so get ready it’s going to be a busy week on this site.
A quick update
Published January 15, 2010 | Sisters, Brothers, Friends, and Family;
It’s my prey that each of you had a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year. This post is fourteen days late but, who counting LOL. The past two weeks have been crazy and as much as I would love to explain all the craziness here it does not fell right to do so and therefore I won’t be but, I can tell you this the time has come to search for a different organization to work for and as much as I would have liked to work for Covenant World Mission it’s become clear over the past few months that at this time things between myself and them our just not going to work out. After much pray it has become clear that it’s time to start the sear for another organization to work with a process that began about a week or so back and at this time seems to be a process that is going nowhere fast. So this is where each of you comes in please pray for me as I search and talk to people.
In other updates if you like my blog / photos / other parts of my website then you should be aware of the flowing as of March 28th 2010 this blog may no longer be available here at cdavignon.com as the site might need to be taken down due to the cost of keeping it online. At this time I don’t know what will happen to this site as of the 28th of March as I’m not sure where the founds will come from to pay for the months / years flowing March but, if I were to move to a free blog serves I’ll let each of you know in advance before doing so. If you would like to know more about what kind of money is needed to keep all of cdavignon.com online then please fell free to call or email me and I’ll be happy to tell you more about the needs for this site.
I pray that each of you have a wonderful two weeks;
Blessings and Peace
Chris
