Mike Morales is on a Mission!

Mike Morales is on a Mission! Most of you know, I am a little on the BIG side. At this point in my life, I am stepping back and looking at everything. My family, spiritual, MENTAL, and physical life. I have always been the big guy and I'm totally comfortable with it. But I need some change.

I have been working out and feeling so much better about myself. My goal is not to lose weight...but I need to...my goal is to live a healthy life. I have 2 beautiful boys that need me and hopefully 1 more in the future. My wife needs me to be a father to them and I need to shape up. I love food. I love tacos! I love eating with friends and going out. But it has to be in moderation!

I'm not saying that I'm going to stop eating but I need you, as my friends to hold me accountable to eat well. I don't want to drink soda anymore. Late night dates with Jordan have to cut back:(

God has blessed me with great family and friends and I want to be here for awhile. But this is my mission. To start living and eating better. To work out cause it makes me feel so much better and better about myself. Please help me!

I Am Free

This is the song that God has given to me in this time. It has been coming up every time that I am praying to him and seeking what he wants from me. He keeps telling me that I'm free to run, dance and live for him.

Last night at church, the worship leader set up a worship station to release sin, junk, anger or whatever you are holding onto in drum of water. You would write whatever it was on a rock and release it. I had something in my mind but I told Jesus you have to tell me to go. So of course, JESUS, the song I Am Free came on and an overwhelming presence came upon me. I reacted and it was amazing.

He also told me to take care of some business with another brother and sister in the church. They left the church awhile back and I did nothing. No call to them. No email. Nothing! They were a part of my life for so long and as they left I said nothing. They were at church and I had to ask for forgiveness. We talked and I told them what they meant to me and it was a good time.

Jesus is so real when you just listen to Him and his sweet voice. Through Him you can do anything and you will move mountains! Listen to what He is saying in your life and react...you won't be disappointed.


Through You the blind will see
Through You the mute will sing
Through You the dead will rise
Through You all hearts will praise
Through You the darkness flees
Through You my heart screams, I am free!

I am free to run
(I am free to run)
I am free to dance
(I am free to dance)
I am free to live for you
(I am free to live for you)
I am free
(I am free)

My Life At Crossroads - 2 of 2

Oct. 08 - Nov. 08 was a crazy time at CBC for me and my family...

I was laid off from CBC at the end of October because the church was over staffed and there is NO MONEY! They said it was NOT because of my performance but that's what it felt like. Student Ministries was growing, THRIVING, AWAKING and we were having fun! God has a perfect plan and I'm resting in Him.

I have taken 10 days to write this post because I want to be wise with my words. It's hard to speak positive when I'm hurting. It's hard to look to Christ when His church is disappointing me. It's hard to keep my head up when I truly see who loves me and my family. I sit and wonder, was the last 4.5 years worth this? Was the last 10 years worth this? DO I want this again from another church???

YES...it was all worth it! The relationships that God has allowed me to have these last couple years will last a long time. I know who my friends are and who loves me. I know that Jesus loves me more than anyone and he DOES NOT disappoint! People suck! I suck! God is in control and trying to use us, despite ourselves.

I look to Him for everything. I know that He has and wants the best for my family. This is His perfect plan and for me to question Him and His actions is silly.

I want to thank everyone that I have had the chance to serve with over the years. I look back on what God has given me and I praise Him for every step. Starting with Eric for loving me. Frank and Ben for putting up with me. Doug for being Doug. Chris for taking a chance on me and seeing something in me that I couldn't see. Jordan for being the MAN! Danhole for sharing your heart. Ryan for making Student Ministries better! My admins for doing all my work:) All my students for letting me serve them and putting up with my bad jokes. God is GOOD! Thank you.

Wii Fit = FUN!

My buddy Tim came over on New Years and brought his Wii Fit. If you guys haven't had a chance to jump on one of these bad boys, you need to. There is so much fun to be had it's ridiculous.

Here in this video, yes I am wearing a Bob Marley shirt purchased in India and Deer PJ Bottoms from Mike & Jan, I am playing a balance game. The object of this game is to hit the soccer balls with your head. It seems easy but you have to transfer your weight and it's just good times. As these guys kick balls at you, there are random cleats and PANDA HEADS thrown at you. It is one of the funniest things when you get hit.

Anyway, we had a great time at our New Years NON-PARTY and it was good to be home for New Years. Yeah I missed all the fireworks in New Orleans but it's a little better with my own fireworks at home:)
