| I don't really write very often, but I've got some time on my hands.
This last semester has been tough, stressful, dramatic, emotional, but
such a growing period for me. I've learned so much about myself, but
much more importantly about my God.
I've learned that no
matter how much I want something, that isn't always what God has for my
life. I can plan ahead, I can try to figure out how things are going to
work out, but God is the only person that knows, He is the person in
control. That is one of the hardest things. I want control. I want to
know what is going to happen, and I want to know how it will work out,
but I don't! So what the heck am I supposed to do? I tighten my grip on
His word. I let go of the things that I so desprately want to control
and grap onto His word. That is so scary! I am trusting in the fact
that God loves me, and knows what He is doing. He has a plan for my
life and blesses the heck out of me every day.
One thing that
I read today and really made me think about how amazing He is was in my
devotional. It said "Real devotion to God arrives, not from man's will
to show it, ,but from the discovery that blessing has been recieved
from God while we were yet unworthy ad undevoted." I am blessed. I have
so much to be thankful, yet I deserve NONE of it. I don't understand
and it doesn't make sense, but I'm so thankful of it.
I've
learned that one of the sweetest things is to have someone who doesn't
just care about how you're doing physically, but how you are doing
spiritually. To have someone who is honestly praying for you, and you
are doing the same....so amazing. I am so thankful for those people.
So
what am I doing? I am seeking after Him, because I know if I seek Him,
I will find Him. Deut. 4.29 "But from there you will seek the LORD your
God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart
and all your soul." | | |
| okay okay, so... yea... its been quite a while, but hey i've been busy! you try to be an engineer, work, and actually have a life  its not that easy..
I don't have any finals today, but i got up early(ier) to study... and i'm wondering if i should acutally just stay in my bed... it sounds like a really good idea.
Just so you know, this semester has been great. I'm learning so much about my self and the way I interact with others. I would hope to say that I have changed some this year :)..others might think differently.
So, I know this is short, but hey! I unpdated!!

| so.. yea, I'm at home.. and workin my BUTT off. The first two weeks back I have had a total of 71.25 hours, yeah.. lets just say I've been makin a lot of pizza's. That's okay though, becuase I kinda enjoy it... sometimes... other times it gets me kinda stressed and puts me in a not so good mood... just ask brian ;)
but other than the pizza makin, I've just been laying back and chillin w/ my friends which is so nice. I'm not online that often, but i do occasionally check my e-mail.... speaking of e-mail.. i got this great one today :) I applied for a job at Precept Ministries in Chattanooga, TN and at first I was not hired, but the just got an opening for me during the second camp and I'm so pumped... I can't even express how excited I am.
My sister is now in Hungry.. YEA .. HUNGRY... how crazy does that sound?! She's too cool.. yea.. so she's over there teaching English as a second language... I think... yea, that's pretty crappy on my part that I'm not sure.. my bad.. but anywho she's over there for about six weeks, so yall be prayin for her :) mk.... i don't really have that much to say, so yall be careful and take care :) | | |
| yeah... so i'm home, I'm already working like a dog, but HEY! I need the money... i'm already enjoying spending some quality time w/ my buddies, but I havent' gotten to see them all yet... they're not all home. Although, Hillary is :) so is steph :)
YAY hillary's house has a sweet internet connection and my connection SUCKS.....
So.. yeah, it really sucks being away from Brian, but I'm trying to keep myself busy, and so far i'm doing a stellar job. Today is my only day off from working at the lovely Pagliai's and I spent it working at the church with Adam... but hey, it was enjoyable work, not work that makes me angry, but fun, relaxing work that doesn't take toooo much stress :) | | |
