I was Tagged

Well, I was tagged. I know that it has taken me some time to get to this but here I go 7 facts about myself:

1. A moment in my life that I like to reflect upon often: Feb 20,1999. I am standing at the front of the stage at Calvary Chapel South Bay My brothers and two really good friends of mine are on my left my soon to be sisster in laws and two other good friends to my right, Pastor Steve behind me and the music begins. (the theme song from Forest Gump when the feather is falling) The doors open up and their being guided by her mother and father the most beautiful women I have laid eyes upon Anja the love of my life.

2. A moment in my life I do not like to reflect upon: I was a little guy mayby 5 years old, not able to say I don't want to go again to the mall with Grandma and Mom. Every weekend it seemed to the same old stores Sears and JC Penney. What is a young boy to do, what has he to look forward to but rows of clothes and jewlery. Oh wait I forgot the candy :) Oh yes the swedish fish.... Oh moments I do not like to reflect upon, yes my Grandma bought me candy and a balloon a goldfish balloon Oh was I so happy. We get home from the day of shopping and right as I was going into the house my balloon flew away my goldfish balloon flew away never to be seen agian, I was so sad :( I am still sad :( my balloon flew away.

A moment in my life that I like to reflect upon often: July 18 2000 what a great day this is. It all started early in the morning 2am or so Anja wakes me up with the words it's starting go back to sleep if it gets worse I will let you know, So what do I do go back to sleep. I wake up knowing Today is the day our baby comes into the world, call work tell them I am not coming in and I wait, Anja at this point is in a lot of pain so we decide to go to the hospital, She is all smiles the nurses and doctor don't think she is that far along she is to realxed they say, they give us a room and examine she is 7cm dialated yeah the baby is coming soon. I did not get to watch to much my first child coming into the world, I was more worried about Anja turning the color purple in the pushes. But the moment they held my baby up and say it is a boy. Oh a moment I will never forget a blessing from heaven. Levi Ethan Hart.

A moment in my life I do not like to reflect upon: Anja and I were living in Montana expecting our first born Levi she was 6 Months pregnant. We were House sitting for our Pastor and His wife. On this day that I do not like to think about I drove to the Pastors house and my wife was not there, not unusal she has the other car, probably out shopping. Some time goes by and no word from her yet, I try calling our house thinking she is there checking our mail etc but no one is home, I began to worry. The moment I wish I would forget the phone call from a friend, no hello she is right to the point Anja is okay but you need to come we are taking her to the hospital. I hurry to mar car and drive the dirt road that is quicker to this house where Anja was and the second moment of the day i wish I could forget, I am driving on the dirt road and I pass the house where my wife is because I see our car on the ditch on the side of the road standing on the driver side. Praise God Anja and Levi were safe but defenitly not on the top of my list of days to remeber.

A moment in my life that I like to reflect upon often: June 18, 2002 Our fridge was getting empty we need some food. So we packed up the car with Levi and made sure that we grabbed everything, It is a miracle if you can fit any groceries in the car after you have filled it with everything you need for your child. We went to Wallmart and walked around and then we went to Town&Country the gorcerie store we went too. I got the cart put Levi in and Anja and I started to the fruit, She started to bag some apples I think when she said Uh Oh! and rushed off to the bathroom a few seconds later she comes to me and says "My water Broke" we left the cart, almost hit a lady in the parking lot, dropped Levi off at friends and went to the hospital again, This time I got to watch, Anja did not turn purple and Luca Enoch Hart came into the world not head first but hand first, I remeber all of us doctor, nurses, myslef saying "there's the head" and then "where did it go" and out came this little hand followed by the head and the rest What a great day. God has blessed me with two wonderful boys.

A moment in my life I do not like to reflect upon: I was in Jr.High at Gateway Fellowship it was a private school. We all had to wair uniforms etc. But that is not the moment I want to forget. It was towards the end of the year and we had a talent show. The whole school was there, Why I did this I do not know and wish I never had, but a friend and myslef got mops took them off the sticks and spray painted them black then we got his tape of Milli Vanilli and sang "Blame it on the Rain" I am so glad that there is no pictures out there nor a video to my knowledge out there somewhere but oh the picture in my head scares me everytime I think of it. I want to forget this ever happened.

A moment in my life that I like to reflect upon often: Sept. 9 2004 This is the day that Anja, Myself, Levi and Luca landed in Germany. This was and will always be a great day for me, since the age of 13 I have wanted to be a missionary, I have always felt that I would one day be in Europe to fulfill that calling. And on Sept. 9 2004 the journey began. It has been tough and rewarding and all worth it. God has shown me so much these last 3 years about myslef and ministry and I look forward with anticipation the many more years that The Four Hart's will have on the mission field. Thanks for the prayers and support.


I know that I am suppose to tag 7 more people but then I would be tagging all of you guys again so I am not too sure what I ought to do, I will see if I can get 7 other people to tag until then have fun reflecting with me on the good memories and making fun of me on the 6. point that I do not want to relive.
