| .......many months later....I resurface. Rundown since last time: -I'm now officially a dork (study way too much) although most people would disagree and say it already was official. -This dork has passed 3 of 4 sections of the CPA exam : only one more test to go and if I pass in late Feb...I'm done! All this has been done with a healthy dose of prayer and God giving me vision for what it will do for Him in the future. -I hung out with Chris Ogden, Jeremy and John Harkins for the first time in a year and a half.....and it was the best time I have had in that same amount of time (even though it was in FREEZING Indiana). -Christmas was a blessing to give & receive and reflect on the fact that it is the reason I have hope and purpose in life.....that Christ came while we were yet sinners to die for us. Unfair for Him, undeserving for us.....forever grateful He did it anyways. -I'm looking forward to some extra quality time with friends and family when I'm finally done with this test.....and being able to give more to our High School ministry @ church I'm a part of. That has been a blessing even though I'd like to give more than just Sunday's. Hope everyone is doing well and life is blessed. Peace. | | |
| Well it's been an extremely long time.....studying for the CPA exam means that I will post on here about once every couple months...I take the next two parts of the Exam in Oct and Nov....prayer would be much appreciated! I have realized more and more lately that there will only be two constants in the life of a believer...or at least in mine. 1. The Lord 2. Change It is often under tough circumstances, hard decisions, and times of failure that I have learned this, but it brings a new sense of calm when I realize that the tough times get easier and easier as I am closer and more intimate with the Lord....the one true supply of strength that will never run out. I also realize that a life of faith will not allow comfort in the way I like to have it or in the way I would plan it out....my life looks nothing like I thought it would at this point.....but that's ok and I'm excited to see what the future holds and each day I will try my best to embrace the change as I seek to follow Him. without true love we are nothing....

| Is it just me or does it seem like everyone is jumping on the myspace train? I mean, its cool and its easier to find people I guess, but I'm not convinced its any better than xanga. Doesn't it seem like xanga you can tell what is going on in people's lives and how they're doing.....maybe even know how to pray for them without having to ask them.....myspace just seems like a popularity contest....i mean, we all have to be the coolest right??!?! I think my xanga has officially croaked, died, kicked the bucket (insert whatever word/phrase for dying you want) but maybe I have realized it was better than I thought.....kinda like that saying.....never realize what you got til its gone.... can my xanga find new life?? you are the only one who can answer that  I am blessed by my mother and grandmother beyond belief.......I don't deserve them peace everyone and congrats to the new graduates of '06... | | |
| I think my Xanga site is officially dead now......or at least in need of an intensive care unit visit.....
I'm still alive and well though.......because........He conquered the cross & grave and on the 3rd day He rose again....
- a view of the sacrifice and grace we never deserved...
