| Today marks a very sad day in my life, today was the
day I had to bring my beloved car to the junkyard. I knew it was
inevitable, but that didnt make it any easier. I feel horrible. How
could I? The junkyard? Honestly! Im such a horrible person
to bring a car that has been so loving and reliable for all these years
to a place where people are goin to literally rip it apart... its
actually
very sad to think about. I will always remember the odd smell, the loud
noises it made, the missing gas cap, the horrible speakers, the broken
brake lights, and of course the defining feature... the rust. Sure it
wasnt the best looking car on the block, but it always got me to where
I needed to be.
I shall miss her forever...

| This past week or so has been so
much fun. Ive been staying busy and God's been teaching me some pretty
cool stuff. I recently started hanging out with the Calvary
crew,"Spencer, Alex, Anna, and Anna." Despite my lack of social
skills I've had a good time, its been cool spending time with them. I
am continuing to make the proper steps in order to make my move to
Philly occur. I'm feeling pretty good about it and I continue to feel
that Philly is where the Lord wants me.
I've been
thinking a lot about personal conviction lately. Those thoughts have
led me to this, I believe that in some areas the church can be a bit
too assertive when it comes to personal application of the Bible. I
understand the fact that we as believers are called to build each other
up and keep each other accountable. However I do not believe that if
the Lord places a certain conviction upon someone's heart that it means
others must follow with the same conviction. I think it's fine to share
concern towards others but I don't think condeming them or looking down
upon them for not agreeing is right at all. I'm still trying to work
through what I exactly think about the whole thing. Let me know what
you guys think as far as not agreeing/agreeing or whatever.
By the way for all of you who have not yet heard the
Fray's cd you must, its fantastic! Hope everyone has a great week,
peace out yo moneys.

| Xcom IV was a lot
of fun. There were definitely many memories made. I learned a very
valuable lesson throughout the trip. I learned how important it is to
be still and simply sit with the intent of just listening for God. It
can be really hard to clear your mind but its so important. Things are
always put back into perspective and it always reminds me who's in
control. "Be still and know that I am God." I constantly had this going
through my mind during the trip. It's been really hard trying keep that
up since I got back home. Since the day we got back it feels like
things have been going so quickly and I haven't had time for a break.
Of course I have no one else to blame for that other than myself. I
usually set myself up for being insanely busy. That is probably
something I should change but for now I enjoy being busy.
The movie Monster House was sweet! I enjoyed it quite a
bit, I think I enjoyed it even more because it was free. Anyways, peace
out yo money.

| Wow I haven't
updated in such along time. There has been so much that's happend to me
in this past month or so that I don't really know where to begin.
Summer has been pretty enjoyable thus far. I have been staying pretty
busy which is good and all but just relaxing would be nice too.
Tomorrow I leave for Xcom IV and I'm pretty excited about it. There are
like 70 some people going so it will probably be pretty crazy.
God's been teaching me some pretty sweet things lately.
After the missions trip to Philly I felt that there had been a huge
lack of trust and love coming from me. The lack of love seemed to show
up in almost every area of life. I think the biggest stuggle for me was
to rejoice when others rejoice instead of wanting what they were
feeling. Instead of truly being happy for someone I would catch myself
just kind of wanting what they had at that time. Yeah... that probably
didn't make sense but hopefully you get what I'm saying. Anyways as far
as this trust thing goes it's actually pretty crazy. Who would have
thought that if you just give it all to God, He will take care of you.
That's what makes God so awesome I guess. He is always there and always
takes care of us no matter how many times in the past we have doubted
where He's leading us.
I'm not exactly sure where it is God is leading me in a
few different situations right now but I know it is for the best. I
give it to Him and I will receive anything that comes my way.

it has been
quite some time since i have last posted. i must admit, i have been
falling out of the whole xanga thing. there was a time however where i
posted nearly every day, unfortunately that time has passed. it feels
so good to be done with school. i love the summer. i have a feeling
this is goin to be a very good summer. i already have several events
planned and i also cant wait for the times where i have nothing to do
but relax. my future has worried me quite a bit as of late. i thought
that me taking some time off was the right thing, but now i am second
guessing myself. its really easy to pray, "God please direct my paths"
but to actually mean it is somewhat difficult for me. ive always had a
problem with trust and now i am at a point where i must in order to
take that next step. honestly i have no idea what this next step in
life is goin to look like for me. whatever it is that God wants me to
do is what i want to desire as well. i need to get to that point. i
need that faith and trust that God is there helping me eery step of the
way. what i really need and what i would really appreciate is prayer
for this whole thing.
sunday june 11 i am having my open house
with sarah cook at central wesleyan from 12:30-3:30 in room 161 hope to
see you all there
